The head of the Financial Crimes and Money Laundering Prosecution said that the Public Prosecution had completed investigations into a case involving a director of a government-affiliated institution, who unlawfully collected approximately BD90,000 in public fund without proper authorisation.
He allegedly exploited his position to seize other amounts exceeding BD192,000, along with other assets belonging to his place of work.
Investigations showed that he colluded with another defendant to forge and use forged documents.
He was also found to have engaged in money laundering activities of around BD97,000 to conceal the illicit origin of these funds.
The case came to light after the Public Prosecution received a report from one of the ministries.
The prosecution has now charged the defendant with embezzlement, forgery and money laundering. Proceedings are underway.
