The Public Prosecution is investigating a new crime of embezzling 15 million dinars from the ‘treatment abroad’, fund in which an Egyptian has been implicated but is believed to have escaped from the country.
An informed source told Al-Qabas that the Ministry of Health, through its representatives who attended the Public Prosecution’s investigations, confirmed that the accused, who is of Egyptian nationality and works as the director of a travel office, created fake invoices related to treating citizens abroad and booking hotels for them by exploiting the absence of a health office in one of the European countries. He was able to collect more than 15 million dinars.
The source explained that the Ministry of Health discovered the embezzlement by examining invoices for treatment abroad, and it was found that the accused had falsified hotel reservation and treatment invoices in this European country, and had submitted the forged documents to the Ministry of Health in his capacity as the director of a tourism and travel company.
The source indicated that the responsible authorities will contact the Egyptian authorities to arrest the accused and take legal measures against him after submitting documents proving his involvement in the embezzlement of money.
The source pointed out other suspects involved in the case are being identified in parallel with the ongoing investigations to find out more details.
