TWO men were arrested yesterday for allegedly forging money and committing fraud.
They allegedly duped people out of BD30,000, the Capital Governorate Prosecution head said in a statement yesterday.
The Public Prosecution has commenced its investigation after the incident was referred to them by the Interior Ministry’s Anti-Corruption and Economic and Electronic Security General Directorate.
“Two people have been arrested for counterfeiting and promoting fake currency notes. They also defrauded others by seizing sums of money from them,” he said.
“The first suspect admitted to using tools for counterfeiting currencies and said he duped people out of BD30,000.
“Meanwhile, the second suspect was also interrogated and investigations proved his involvement in addition to tools related to the crime found in his possession.”
The Public Prosecution ordered that the suspects be remanded in jail for seven days pending an investigation.
The tools and cash seized will be sent to technical authorities for examination.
