The First High Criminal Court of Appeal has upheld a three-year prison sentence against an Arab defendant who attempted to buy a BMW 320 valued at BD25,000 using bank cards that did not belong to him.
The ruling also includes a BD3,000 fine, permanent deportation after serving the sentence, and confiscation of the mobile phone used in the crime.
According to court records, the defendant visited a car dealership and selected the vehicle, opting to complete the transaction through the company’s online payment portal.
After receiving a payment link, he began transferring money in December, making 18 separate transactions totaling BD 10,080. But the payments were not his to make.
Investigations later revealed that he had entered bank card details belonging to individuals in Asian and European countries, including card numbers, expiration dates, and verification codes (CVV).
