The Economic and Cyber Crimes Combating Department at the General Directorate of Criminal Investigation arrested seven persons, including six Arab nationals and one European national with 4 bags of counterfeit currencies. The authorities also found papers and tools used to dupe the victims by claiming that the papers are converted into counterfeit currencies with intention to obtain real money from the victims.

After receiving a search warrant from the competent authorities, the concerned security people seized the fake currencies and other items. Those arrested confessed to their charges and were referred to the judicial authorities to complete the legal procedures followed in this regard.
