A Ministry of Education employee has had his jail term cut to a year after the High Criminal Court of Appeal revisited a case over forged invoices and altered entries used to draw money from a public school budget.

The appeal court accepted challenges from the employee and two other Asian defendants, convicted of taking and helping take public funds through false data entered into the ministry’s electronic system and the use of forged private papers.

The sums involved were said to be above BD5,000.
