How did they commit the crime?
Saudi wife obtained a commercial registration in her name and opened a bank account. She handed over the bank account to her husband for a monthly fee of SR 10,000.
The expat husband was using this bank account to make international bank transfers on behalf of others i.e. money laundering.
How did the police catch them?
When the aggregate amount of international bank transfers reached SR 63 million, the Public Prosecution made a request to look into the data.
The investigations showed that the commercial entity was not importing anything, they were only involved in money laundering.
The court gave out the final verdict while the Public Prosecution has appealed for a much harsher penalty.
