Three Korean expatriate men are under trial at the Court of Appeal on money laundering charges, local Arabic daily Arrayah reported.
Investigations about the case revealed that the defendants were charged with illicit brewing of wine and alcohol. They also used to deposit the revenues from the illegal trade in a local bank account opened by one of them to transfer the money to their home country. The accomplice who owned the bank account was paid an extra amount.
The issue came to light when the security department concerned received information that the defendants were brewing and selling wine illegally to the Asian workers and other labourer groups. Accordingly, they were arrested and the equipment used in the criminal activity seized. Eventually, investigations pointed to the bank account they used to transfer the money from the illicit trade to their home country. The case is still being heard by the court.
