Verdict Awaits in Car Fraud Case

22-year-old accused of forging documents and selling a vehicle without the owner's consent

According to prosecutors, the defendant allegedly forged the owner's signature on vehicle transfer forms submitted to the General Directorate of Traffic and misappropriated vehicles entrusted to him under a power of attorney.

During the latest hearing, the defence sought the defendant's acquittal, while his brother submitted a notarised waiver from the victim. The case stems from a complaint by a Gulf-based businessman who claimed the defendant unlawfully transferred ownership of his vehicles after being entrusted with registering and insuring them in Bahrain.
