The Control and Anti-Corruption Authority (Nazaha) announced the issuance of a number of verdicts on cases it has previously initiated. The perpetrators were referred to the Criminal Court in Riyadh (divisions of financial and administrative corruption), which issued first instance and final rulings.
Among the cases was a first instance ruling convicting three persons, including an employee at the Ministry of Municipal, Rural Affairs and Housing, a student officer of the Military colleges affiliated with the Ministry of Defense and an expatriate of Arab nationality. The first and second culprits used forged academic qualifications to obtain a government post, while the expatriate facilitated the acquisition of the false certificates.
