A Doha Misdemeanor Court has sentenced an administrative director of a customs clearance company to three months in jail and a fine of QR10,000 for accepting a bribe to approve the sponsorship transfer of some of the company's former employees.

Local Arabic daily Arrayah reported on Wednesday that the court also ordered his deportation after serving the sentence. The defendant was caught while taking a bribe amounting to QR190,000 from eight expatriate employees of the company to approve their sponsorship transfer to another company.
It turned out that the top management of the defendant's company did not know anything about such practice.
The victims testified that the defendant used to take a bribe of QR20,000- 25,000 from any expatriate employee who wished to transfer sponsorship.
