Members of a gang of Saudi and other nationalities were jailed for a total of 64 years for money laundering, smuggling SR64.86 million and 19 kilograms of gold out of the country, prosecutors said.
The Saudi convicts involved in the crimes were also banned from travelling for a period similar to their jail terms and the foreigners were ordered to be deported after serving their terms.
“Work is underway to recover the smuggled money,” the prosecution said in a statement.
“Some 1.020.690 Saudi riyals were seized at the airport, when a member of the gang attempted to travel abroad. Vehicles used in the crimes were also confiscated,” the statement added.
The Public Prosecution stressed that it will spare no effort in enforcing the laws firmly and strictly against everyone who commits such crimes, with the aim of preserving the capabilities and gains of the country and eliminating crimes.
