Police Custody Expat For Misappropriating Company Money

The Criminal Security Sector of the Ministry of Interior has initiated legal proceedings against an expatriate whose identity remains undisclosed, accused of embezzling 56 thousand dinars from his employer. The case has been forwarded to the Public Prosecution for further investigation.

As per reports from the Al-Anba daily, the suspect, employed in an educational agency, allegedly misused his position as an accountant to orchestrate the embezzlement scheme. Instead of using approved checks for legitimate purchases on behalf of his employer, the expatriate diverted the funds into his personal account in his home country.

A security source revealed that the Criminal Investigation Department uncovered evidence suggesting the suspect's involvement in fabricating purchase records and redirecting payments meant for the employer into his own account.

During interrogation, the accused confessed to carrying out this fraudulent activity over several years, involving the creation of fake purchase orders, unauthorized check endorsements, and the subsequent transfer of funds to his personal account.

Efforts are underway to apprehend any potential accomplices of the suspect, with the CID intensifying its investigations. It has been confirmed that the accused transferred substantial sums abroad, far exceeding his lawful income. The extent to which the employer has pursued formal complaints or reports regarding the embezzlement remains unclear. Nonetheless, the suspect has been detained pending further legal proceedings.
