The investigative body at the Attorney General’s Office has ordered the detention of the head of the Ras Ajdir Customs Center, along with the heads of the Audit and Procedures Department at the center, and four customs officers on charges of forging customs documents related to documentary credits executed within Yaqeen Bank.
According to the Attorney General’s Office, the forged documents indicate the importation of goods into the country by seven companies contrary to reality. This enabled the owners of those companies to benefit from foreign currency equivalent to $91 million and to collect the proceeds of trading in foreign currency in the parallel market.
