Court of Cassation rejected an appeal filed by an Asian man convicted in a forged document and insurance fraud case, upholding a 10-year prison sentence, the Public Prosecution said.
The court also upheld an earlier ruling ordering the defendants to jointly pay 5,001 Bahraini dinars in temporary civil compensation to the affected insurance company.
According to the Capital Governorate Prosecution, the case began after Al-Hoora Police Station received a report concerning a disputed life insurance claim worth $500,000.
Investigations showed that the first defendant had applied for a life insurance policy in favour of his wife, the third defendant. The company was later informed that the insured person had died, prompting the wife—assisted by her brother, the second defendant—to file a civil claim and obtain a court order for payment.
Suspicion arose within the insurance company, which commissioned an external investigation. The findings reportedly confirmed that the insured person was still alive and that the submitted death certificate had been forged.
The court also ordered the deportation of two defendants after serving their sentences, alongside the civil compensation order.
