A court in Bahrain has rejected an appeal filed by a defendant convicted in a Value Added Tax (VAT) evasion case, ruling it as if it had never been submitted due to his failure to appear before the court.

The First High Criminal Court had previously sentenced the defendant to three years in prison and ordered him to pay 41,327 dinars, representing the VAT amount he evaded, along with an equivalent fine.

The case involved charges that the defendant deliberately failed to pay VAT.
