A Saudi citizen has been sentenced to three years in prison and fined SR300,000 for his involvement in a significant forgery case, according to reports from a Saudi court.

Case Details
The Public Prosecution reported that the individual misused three cheques from a charitable organization, forging transactions totaling SR34 million.

Investigation and Verdict
The investigation began when the Crimes Against Public Trust division launched a probe after the suspect obtained a checkbook illegally from a non-profit charitable association. He forged transactions as payments for contract work related to the charity's maintenance projects, using fabricated signatures and seals.

Upon presenting the falsified cheques for disbursement, the malpractice was discovered, leading to the suspect's arrest. The court reviewed evidence presented by the Public Prosecution and delivered its verdict.

Legal Ramifications
The Public Prosecution reaffirmed its commitment to protecting documents and seals legally, emphasizing that forgery is a serious criminal offense rigorously prosecuted under the Penal Law for Forgery Crimes, with strict penalties reflecting the kingdom's dedication to upholding legal standards.
