The High Criminal Court is set to hear the case of three Asian men accused of conning a former MP out of BD2,000 by posing as financial company’s representatives.

The suspects are said to have placed a phone call to the victim and informed him of the importance to share his bank account details or risk having it suspended.

Afraid of such a thing, he directly shared it, only to receive messages indicating that an amount of BD1,800 was transferred from his bank account to another account.

He filed a case at the Anti-Economic Crime Directorate. The three were arrested following an investigation and put on trial on fraud charges.
