The Public Prosecution ordered the detention of the director of Wahda Bank, Al-Ajeilat branch, his deputy, and the head of the current accounts department in the bank, on charges of forging bank instruments and money laundering.
The Public Prosecutor’s Office explained that the defendants had committed illegal banking operations on customer accounts through transfers to accounts managed with their knowledge using forged bank instruments, in addition to their carrying out the three stages of money laundering, namely deposit, disguise and merger with the intent of disguising the source of criminal proceeds and making them available from a seemingly legitimate source upon the completion of their seizure.
