Visa forgery case adjourned to communicate with LMRA

The High Criminal Court has adjourned the case of a female employee accused of visa forgery to October 30, 2018, to assign the Public Prosecution to communicate with the Labour Market Regulatory Authority (LMRA).

The defendant, an employee at a private school, is standing trial for issuing 17 work visas for foreigners using her employers’ commercial registration, selling them for BD200 each and pocketing the money.

According to court files, the woman was working at the school for nearly 20 years, during which she committed the crime.

 Her wrongdoing was discovered after a man went to the school to enquire about the reason behind an Arab woman’s sponsorship.
