The First High Criminal Court sentenced an Asian domestic worker to five years in prison, fined her BD100,000, and ordered her deportation after serving her sentence in a money laundering case involving BD22,250.
The court also ordered the confiscation of BD22,250 from her funds or assets linked to the offence and directed her to repay BD775.810 held in her bank and financial accounts to the victim.
The 30-year-old woman was convicted of laundering proceeds obtained from crimes involving misuse of an electronic signature, submitting false information through an information technology system, and unauthorised access to an IT system.
According to court documents, the offences took place between September 6 and October 22, 2025, during which the defendant transferred and used illegally obtained funds through local and international transactions to conceal their source.
