A WAITER at a five-star hotel in Bahrain who was jailed for three years for using credit cards of diners to purchase musical instruments worth more than BD500 has lost his appeal.
The 31-year-old Indonesian took the card verification codes (CVC) of two credit cards belonging to a Filipino man and a Bahraini man when they paid for their bills.
He then used the cards and codes to purchase several musical instruments online.
However, he was arrested when he used his home address for delivery of the items.
One of the victims previously described his shock when he found out that BD200 had been withdrawn on his Visa card for e-purchases.
He was convicted of theft by the High Criminal Court in March 2018 and jailed for three years.
He appealed at the Supreme Criminal Appeals Court which upheld the initial sentence. He will be deported after completing his sentence.
