Criminal Court fines supply branch director KD 3,000 in food embezzlement case
Egyptian, Bangladeshi and Indian defendants sentenced to three years in prison and deportation after serving their sentences
The Criminal Court fined the director of a food supply branch KD 3,000 and sentenced Egyptian, Bangladeshi and Indian defendants to three years in prison, followed by deportation from the country after serving their sentences, after convicting them of embezzling food items from a supply branch belonging to one of the cooperative societies in Al Jahra Governorate, without the knowledge of the society’s shareholders.
The ruling was issued by the Criminal Court, headed by Counselor Nasser Al Badr, with Judges Abdulaziz Al Ma’dadi and Abdulhadi Al Hajri as members, and Yaqoub Al Balam as secretary.
The details of the case date back to the defendants taking quantities of food items ranging between a quarter and half a kilogram from each sale and seizing them illegally.
