The Chief Prosecutor of the Financial Crimes and Money Laundering Directorate has unveiled solid evidence against three employees, aged 46, 34 and 33, of a public technical secondary school, who are accused of embezzling over BD86,000 from school funds.

The allegations stem from a series of fraudulent activities, including forgery of official documents, which enabled the accused to misappropriate funds.

The case was adjourned until February 25, as the High Criminal Court prepares to announce its verdict in the case, while the defence urged the judges to hear testimonies from the prosecution witnesses, including the investigative committee formed by the Ministry of Education.

During the court hearing yesterday, the Chief Prosecutor presented both written and oral arguments, stressing the need for the maximum possible penalties for the accused due to the severity of their crimes.

He stated that the evidence clearly establishes the elements of the crime, supported by both testimonial and material evidence.
