FOUR Asian employees of a cigarette distributing company have been accused of selling cartons of cigarettes and pocketing the money from the proceeds amounting to QR209,000, sources said.
The four – three salesmen and a driver – were arrested on August 9. Authorities are investigating the case.
Sources said the fraud was discovered during a crosscheck of the invoice which showed a deficit and an in-house investigation led to the arrest of the four men.
According to a source, the money pocketed by the sales team could be more than what has been accounted so far. “The company is in the process of checking its records and a complete picture would be available only after the stock is compared with the sales,” he said.
