The Criminal Investigation Department at the General Directorate of Criminal Investigation has arrested a person from an Asian country on charges of visa trade by setting up fake companies.
A specialised team was set up for investigation acting on information received by the department regarding visa trade, the Ministry of Interior (MoI) said on social media Tuesday.
After a search and investigation, the team arrested a person involved in visa trade and seized a laptop, 13 ATM cards and four ID cards, the MoI said.
By interrogating the suspect, he confessed to the charges against him. Accordingly, he was referred, along with the seized items, to the judicial authorities to complete the relevant procedures followed in this regard.
The competent authorities have called on the public not to deal with visa traders to avoid accountability and abide by the rules and regulations.
