RIYADH — A bank employee was sentenced to six years in prison for plotting and executing money embezzlement crimes. National Anti-Corruption Commission (Nazaha) spokesman Abdulrahman Al-Ajlan said the man was in a high position at one of the National Commercial Bank's branches in Riyadh. He worked with fellow employees to withdraw money from a client's bank account. The accomplices were sentenced to two to four years in prison each. He added the Saudi Arabian Monetary Agency promotes transparency and was able to detect discrepancies in that branch's records and reports. Nazaha is responsible for investigating money embezzlement crimes in ventures where the government owns 25 percent of the financial capital.
