The Public Prosecution has ordered the detention of the owner of a private institute pending investigation after he was accused of issuing forged academic certificates and operating an unlicensed educational institution.

The Head of the Cybercrime Prosecution said the case began after the Ministry of Education reported the discovery of fake academic certificates issued to employees of several educational institutions.

Investigations revealed that the institute did not have a license to carry out educational activities or issue academic qualifications.

The prosecution ordered the arrest of the institute’s owner, an Asian national who was managing the facility, and carried out an inspection of the premises in coordination with officers from the General Directorate for Anti-Corruption, Economic and Electronic Security, as well as the Ministry of Industry and Commerce.
