A bank employee, accused of siphoning of BD 90,000, has been remanded in custody for seven days pending investigation.
“The suspect stands accused of stealing over BD90000 from the ATM machine of the bank branch where he works,” Muharraq Acting Prosecutor Abdulla Al-Dosary said.
The bank lodged a complaint with the Anti-Corruption and Economic and Electronic Security General Directorate, which referred the case to Public Prosecution, prompting an inquiry.
The employee admitted stealing the money but failed to repay the stolen sum despite signing a binding written declaration.
