A Bahraini man accused of keeping wrongly transferred funds was cleared after a court found his bank account had been exploited by an online fraud gang.

The court heard that scammers posing as investment firms gained access to his banking apps and used his account to move stolen money linked to a fake investment scheme.

His lawyer said the man was targeted through a social engineering scam. The court ruled that the funds were not transferred due to a banking mistake, but as part of a fraud operation.
