Police here have summoned a lawyer accused of forgery and breach of trust in order to question him over his alleged role in embezzling a sum of SR4.4 million. Sources said the lawyer exploited a power of attorney given to him by a Madina businessman and received SR2.2 million in rent twice from the businessman's real estate on the city's second ring road. On both occasions, the lawyer allegedly received checks and deposited them in his personal bank account. The amount was supposedly to be given as blood money to the family of a murdered man. The lawyer was summoned last Wednesday but did not show up. The police are expected to use force if he does not respond to the second summons.
