A Doha Criminal Court has sentenced a Jordanian man to one year in jail for counterfeiting the signature of a company owner and selling two work visas.
Local Arabic daily Arrayah reported that that investigation revealed that the defendant sold two work visas to two expatriate women for QR20,000 and QR17,000, respectively.
He managed to issue the visas by counterfeiting the signature of a local beauty salon owner after getting copies of the necessary documents of the business.
The issue started when the owner posted an advertisement expressing her desire to sell the business, so the defendant started negotiations but they never reached an agreement. In the process, he got a copy of all the related documents of the business.
Further, the defendant convinced her to start a new beauty salon and initiated the necessary legal procedures. However, she came to know about the two visas and how he had counterfeited her signature and started legal action against him.
