Bahrain International Airport customs officers have been able to foil smuggling more than one million Saudi Riyals out of the Kingdom.
Initial details revealed that a customs officer stopped an Indian traveller at the inspection hall while trying to leave Bahrain. After searching him around, he was found hiding SR 1,064,900 in his suitcase.
The suspect and the confiscated amount were referred to the Anti-Economic Crime department of the Interior Ministry’s General Anti-Corruption Directorate for legal procedures to be taken before referring the case to the Public Prosecution.
