Tasattur Scandal Unveiled: Saudi Citizen and Syrian Resident Sentenced to 30 Months in Prison and SR100,000 in Fine

In a shocking turn of events, a Saudi citizen and a Syrian resident have been sentenced to 30 months in prison and fined SR100,000 for their involvement in the tasattur scandal. The scandal, which has rocked the country, involves the practice of using foreign nationals as fronts for businesses in order to bypass Saudi labor laws.

The defendants, whose names have not been released to the public, were found guilty of engaging in tasattur by the Criminal Court in Jeddah. Tasattur, also known as “cover-up” or “fronting,” is a serious offense in Saudi Arabia and is punishable by heavy fines and prison sentences.

According to the court, the defendants were operating a business in Jeddah using the Syrian resident as a front in order to conceal the true ownership of the business. The Saudi citizen was found to be the actual owner of the business, in violation of Saudi labor laws.

The sentencing of the defendants serves as a warning to others who may be engaging in tasattur practices. The Saudi government has been cracking down on tasattur in recent years in an effort to promote transparency and accountability in the business sector.

The tasattur scandal has had far-reaching implications, with many businesses being shut down and individuals being prosecuted for their involvement. The sentencing of the Saudi citizen and Syrian resident is just the latest example of the government’s commitment to stamping out this illegal practice.

As the dust begins to settle on this latest scandal, it serves as a stark reminder of the consequences of engaging in tasattur. The message is clear: the Saudi government will not tolerate those who seek to circumvent the law for their own gain.
