The Criminal Court has sentenced an unidentified female employee working for a ministry to three years imprisonment for forging her academic certificate and getting benefits on the strength of this forged document.
Al-Qabas said the employee, who is from a well-known family, benefited over the years on the strength of this forged document in the form of an increase in her salary.
Informed sources said that although the accused returned all her salaries amounting to 150,000 dinars, the court affirmed returning the state money does not absolve the accused from punishment, but the matter is up to the court.
According to an informed source, the court decided to fine the accused 150 thousand dinars the amount she had earned on the strength of the forged document, in addition to a fine of another 150,000 dinars as a penalty set by law.
