The Court of Appeal upheld the ruling of the Court of First Instance and sentenced an Asian maid to one year in jail and subsequent deportation for stealing a gold chain worth QR200,000 from her employer.
Local Arabic daily Arrayah reported on Wednesday that the case started when the victim filed a complaint at the police station accusing her maid of stealing her gold chain.
Police searched the maid's room and found the chain.
However, the maid claimed she found the chain in another maid's room and kept it safe until somebody claimed it, but the court was not convinced.
