Saudi Arabia's Oversight and Anti-Corruption Authority (Nazaha) said it recently held investigations in some criminal cases and the related procedures are being completed.
 

In one of the cases, investigations were initiated with a notary public for obtaining SAR 4.46 million through his arrested brother in return for illegally evacuating two land plots as a gift for an arrested businessman and his sister without notifying their father, the owner of the two land plots.
 

In another case, a retired brigadier general at the Border Police was arrested for obtaining SAR 10 million in installments. He was accused of receiving compensation requests from 15 detained citizens for large areas of land that were illegally owned and did not meet the relevant conditions. Accordingly, some of them received compensations.

An engineer working as a mayor of a governorate was also arrested for obtaining SAR 350,000 from a businessman in return for issuing fake certificates in favor of his commercial entity at a total value of SAR 435,000. He also signed the related completion certificates for the disbursement of financial dues.

In addition, a citizen was arrested while receiving SAR 12,500 out of SAR 32,000, in exchange for canceling 16 violations of a company registered with the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development.

Nine employees at the Ministry of Health and six resident brokers were arrested for receiving money in exchange for modifying the immunization status of some citizens without getting the coronavirus vaccine.
