A Doha Criminal Court has sentenced four Nigerians to seven years in jail and ordered their subsequent deportation in addition to a fine of QR100,000 each for money laundering.
Local Arabic daily Arrayah has reported that they were also convicted by the court of seizing £27,000 from a major organisation and breaching into its information system.
The Public Prosecution had referred the defendants to the court accusing them of colluding with another unidentifiable person for receiving money from abroad in return for a commission of 25% of the amount.
When the money came, it was transferred again to the account of another one of the defendants in an attempt to cover up its source and returned to the source.
The four were also accused of breaching into the information system of a major organisation and using an email attributed to the organisation for conducting their illegal transactions.
