Man jailed for hiding fugitive

ManamaThe High Criminal Court sentenced a Bahraini man to three years behind bars for hiding his schoolmate who was wanted in several cases.

The defendant is believed to have hid the man in a Hamad Town house.

His whereabouts were revealed to police via a tip-off by an undercover agent. 

Cops then raided the house and arrested the defendant, the fugitive and the house owner  who was later freed because it appeared that he wasn’t aware that the schoolmate was wanted. “He told us that he wanted a place for him and his buddy so they could study. We didn’t knew anything about his friend,” the owner told prosecutors.
