Nazaha initiates criminal case for visa trading


An official source at the Oversight and Anti-Corruption Authority (Nazaha) said that two employees of the Ministry of Interior and others were arrested for forcing a resident to sign a financial commitment of SAR 23 million in favor of a “suspended” foreign investor in consideration of SAR 60,000.

 

The arrests also include Bangladeshi residents, Mohammed Nasser Uddin Noor — owner of a recruitment office in his home country, Zaid Uosied Mafy, Abulklam Mohammed Rafeeq Alislam, Aziz Alhaq Muslim Uddin, and visitor Alameen Khan Shahid Allah Khan.

 

Through investigations, they confessed to engaging in visa trading activity in collaboration with the employees of the Saudi Embassy in Bangladesh. An amount of SAR 20.18 million in cash, jewelry, gold bars and luxury vehicles were found at their residencies as proceeds from illegal sale of work visas in the Kingdom.

 

In addition, the authorities arrested head of consular section at the Saudi Embassy in Bangladesh and his deputy, for receiving an amount of SAR 54 million during their tenure at the embassy, in installments for issuing work visas in the Kingdom.
