A manager of a state-owned company suspected of disclosing work secrets to a private business and forging a document will stand trial.
A former employee of the same company and a third accomplice who allegedly had a stake in obtaining the ‘secret information’, will also appear before the High Criminal Court.
The Public Prosecution has charged the manager with revealing confidential secrets to harm his place of work for personal benefit, along with his alleged accomplices.
The Public Prosecution launched an investigation after being notified of the results of an investigation by the Anti-Corruption Directorate.
The manager allegedly falsified a document, attributed to a foreign bank, intending to submit it to other government authorities in Bahrain, according to the prosecutor of financial crimes and money laundering.
The third accomplice, who had a stake in receiving confidential information, operated a private firm under contract with the manager’s company.
The Public Prosecution revealed that a warrant was issued to monitor and record telephone calls and messages exchanged between the suspects. It then ordered the arrests in Bahrain. A search of their homes and workplaces followed and electronic devices were confiscated.
