A Doha Criminal Court has sentenced four men to four years in jail each for conniving to siphon off QR2mn from a local bank.
The court also ordered the dismissal of two of the defendants, who were employees of the bank, from their jobs as well as their deportation upon serving the sentence, according to local Arabic daily Arrayah.
The other two defendants were clients of the bank.
The matter came to light when the bank’s management got an audit of its operations conducted. It was revealed that the two employees had connived with the two clients to submit counterfeit documents in the bank.
As part of the plan, the employees would clear the papers without the knowledge of their superiors in order to facilitate financial gains worth QR2mn.
Accordingly, the two employees made sure that the forged documents, used as loan guarantees, would pass unnoticed.
They were to get a share of the money in exchange for this.
