The Kingdom’s Ministry of Interior has released the final court decision in the corruption case against Lieutenant General Khalid bin Qarar Al-Harbi, a former Director of Public Security, according to a report from Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia.
Al-Harbi was reported to the appropriate court by the Oversight and Anti-Corruption Authority (Nazaha), which verified that it had opened an investigation into him.
A final court decision was rendered against him, according to Saudi Gazette, finding him guilty of a number of offenses, including misuse of authority.
Al-Harbi was found guilty of bribery, forgery, and other related charges. He was also fined SR1,000,000, which would go into the public treasury, and sentenced to ten years in prison.
This verdict follows Royal Decree No. A/60 dated 30/1/1443H, which led to Al-Harbi’s dismissal from service and his subsequent investigation for a series of violations, including embezzlement, forgery, bribery, and abuse of power for personal gain.
Additionally, Al-Harbi was convicted of abusing his position for personal gain, exploiting government contracts, and embezzling public funds.
He received another ten-year prison sentence for these crimes.
In addition to the prison sentence and fine, the court has ordered the seizure of bribe payments amounting to SR10,084,303. This sum, along with SR2,827,000 embezzled from public funds, will be returned to the state treasury.
Al-Harbi was also found guilty of misusing his official position and exploiting government contracts.
As part of the ruling, he is required to return gifts and financial assistance valued at SR175,000 given to his relatives as bribes. Furthermore, two agricultural lands obtained through criminal activities, along with an additional SR584,000, will be confiscated and deposited into the state treasury.
The Saudi government’s unshakable commitment to safeguarding public finances and fighting corruption was emphasized by the Ministry of Interior. SG
