A Doha Criminal Court has sentenced a man who used to work at a financial brokerage company to five years in jail for abusing his official duties.
Local Arabic daily Arrayah reported on Sunday that the court also ordered him to pay back a sum of QR10.5mn to his victims, fined him a similar sum and ordered his dismissal from the job.
The court convicted the defendant of illegally seizing QR10.5mn that belonged to his wife and her mother and deposited in a local bank.
He was also convicted of counterfeiting cheques and transferring the money into his account without the prior knowledge or consent of his wife and her mother, the owners of the assets.
Further, he exploited his position at the brokerage company and sold the shares of his victims without their knowledge and took the money for himself.
The case was earlier filed by his wife and her mother accusing the defendant of betraying their trust and illegally seizing their money.
