JEDDAH: The Ministry of Interior has formed a committee to probe a complaint from a Saudi businesswoman who claimed that an amount of about SR3.2 million was drawn from her personal bank account at a reputable bank in Jeddah. In her report, she said she was stunned when she found that a large amount of money had been drawn from her current account. She went over her account statements to find out where the money had gone. She said that when her representative approached the bank to probe the matter he found that the amount was drawn at intervals through money orders. In her report to the ministry, she made it clear that she had no idea how these money orders could have been authorized. She has insisted on an investigation to find those responsible. She said she does issue remittances from her account, but was not responsible for these transactions. Colonel Mesfir Al-Juaid, spokesman of the Jeddah Police, said the matter was referred to the ministry. The forgery department at Jeddah Police launched its own investigation before referring the case to the ministry. He confirmed that the amount allegedly stolen from the businesswoman's account was more than SR3 million.
