Riyadh – Six people were arrested in Saudi Arabia in a black money case. Two citizens and four non-residents arrested. The prosecutor said that the Financial Crimes Unit has opened an investigation into the illegal activities of an organized criminal group consisting of two Saudi citizens and four Arab citizens.
Electronic machines for printing counterfeit banknotes were also found, as well as the hiding place where they lived. Under Article Two, the penalty for infringement is up to 25 years in prison and a fine of up to 500,000 Riyals. These acts are capital crimes that deserve severe punishment.
The ministry stressed that the prosecution continues to protect money transactions from all forms of crime and will not hesitate to take rigorous punitive measures against anyone attempting to damage financial security and the national economy. Last week, 11 people were sentenced to a total of 65 years in prison after being found guilty of misappropriating public funds.
