Case Summary
Abu Adel, owner of a construction company, was alerted by his trusted employee Hussein about forged invoices amounting to approximately two million riyals. Suspicion fell on two accountants, Imad and Talal. Imad, who secretly married a young woman named Maram, was found to be the forger. A plan was devised to monitor Imad, who left for a business trip leaving his wife behind. Maram contacted Abu Adel for help, leading to a police investigation that uncovered a staged kidnapping and assault intended to frame Abu Adel. Imad confessed after a long investigation and was sentenced to seven years in prison, while his wife received a one-month sentence due to coercion. Hussein later married Maram after her divorce from Imad.
