Expat Steals 15 Million Dinars From Abroad Treatment Fund

A current investigation by the Public Prosecution is shedding light on a recent embezzlement case, where a staggering 15 million dinars from the 'treatment abroad' fund have gone missing. The primary suspect is an Egyptian national, though there is a widespread belief that he has fled the country.

According to reports from the Al-Qabas daily, the Ministry of Health, represented during the Public Prosecution's inquiries, confirmed that the accused, who is the director of an Egyptian travel agency, allegedly engaged in fraudulent activities. He is accused of creating fictitious invoices related to foreign medical treatment and hotel reservations for citizens.

Exploiting the absence of a health office in a specific European country, the suspect managed to accumulate over 15 million dinars in an intricate scheme.

The source revealed that the Ministry of Health unearthed this malfeasance by closely examining invoices connected to overseas medical treatments. They discovered that the accused had counterfeited invoices for both hotel reservations and medical treatments in the European nation. Subsequently, these falsified documents were submitted to the Ministry of Health under his role as the head of a tourism and travel company.

Moreover, the source mentioned that authorities are in the process of establishing contact with Egyptian counterparts to apprehend and extradite the suspect, initiating legal proceedings against him once sufficient evidence of his involvement in the misappropriation of funds is provided.

In addition to the ongoing investigations, efforts are being made to identify other individuals who may be implicated in this case, in order to gain further insights into this intricate embezzlement scheme.
