Today, Saturday, the Public Prosecution issued instructions for pre-trial detention of some tax authority employees for embezzling sums of money estimated at hundreds of thousands from the tax authority treasury in the guise of including false information in the authority’s documents and placing customary papers in the documentary cycle, that is falsely attributed to commercial banks.
The Public Prosecution clarified that the preliminary investigation has assumed the validity of the fact that some tax collectors embezzled financial sums from financiers engaged in commercial, industrial and craft activities, in addition to other income types generated from other sources subject to the rules of tax collection.
The proceedings also resulted in proving the fact of issuing clearance bonds that were not included in the documentary cycle of the Department, and the use of forged bank instruments for the purpose of collecting illegal material benefits for the offenders.
