The Public Prosecution announced that the Second Minor Criminal Court has convicted five defendants for illegally obtaining and retaining work permits through fictitious commercial entities.

The court sentenced three of them to three months in prison, ordered their permanent deportation from Bahrain following the completion of their sentences, and imposed total fines amounting to BD138,000 on all defendants.

According to case details, inspection reports from the Labour Market Regulatory Authority (LMRA) revealed irregularities during routine field checks of commercial establishments.

Inspectors discovered 50 commercial registrations issued under a single address, and further investigations identified the owners of those records.

It was later found that one of them had obtained two additional registrations at different addresses, bringing the total to 52 fake commercial records — all belonging to non-existent companies.
