7 yrs imprisonment with 2,710,000 dinars fine plus deportation for Bangladeshi
Court of Appeals presided over by Judge Hani Al- Hamdan upheld the verdict issued to imprison the Bangladeshi MP Muhammad Shahid Islam, former assistant undersecretary in the Ministry of Interior Sheikh Mazen Al-Jarrah, an official in the Public Authority for Manpower (PAM) Hassan Al-Khodar, and former MP Salah Khorshid for seven years each, and the dismissal of Sheikh Mazen and Al-Khodar from their positions over “bribery and visa trading” charges.
The court also decided to change the fine imposed on the main suspect – the Bangladeshi MP – to two million seven hundred and ten thousand dinars, and his deportation from the country after he serves his prison sentence.
The court also amended the fine imposed on Al-Khorshid to seven hundred and forty thousand dinars, and upheld the fine of one million and 970 thousand dinars imposed on Sheikh Mazen.
The ruling also upheld the innocence of MP Saadoun Hamad on charges of abusing power and receiving bribes from the Bangladeshi MP in exchange for completing official transactions in state ministries.
The court also upheld the three-year jail term imposed on two employees working in the company of the Bangladeshi MP.
