Jleeb Al-Shuyoukh complex has been seized due to illegal warehouse operations

 
 
 

The emergency team of the capital raided a warehouse that was operated in a house in the Jleeb Al-Shuyoukh neighborhood on Wednesday night, which was used by a Bangladeshi gang to store subsidized supplies, including rice, sugar, and milk that were camouflaged and distributed in bags belonging to food companies.

In cooperation with the Electricity Emergency Department and the Investigation of Residences and Manpower Affairs, several inspectors from the Ministry of Commerce participated in the campaign under the supervision of Hamed Al-Dhafiri, head of the emergency team for the capital.

Hamid Al-Dhafiri said, "This is a grave violation punishable by law since it is prohibited to sell goods funded by the state.". Any person who has a ration card and who gives or sells ration will have his card stopped and blocked. He will also be summoned by the Ministry of Commerce and penalized.”

The residency affairs investigation officers seized all the workers at the site, and after checking them, it became apparent that some of them were loose domestic workers who engaged in commercial activities that were discovered at the same site, and some of them violated the residency law.

Upon inspection, the team discovered that each room in the house specialized in a particular material. There was a room that was filled with subsidized supplies, such as rice, sugar, oil and milk, and there was a room that contained medicines, a room for car spare parts, a room for family supplies, a grocery room, another for a barber, a restaurant, and a room filled with air conditioning gas cylinders. The gas cylinder room was classified as the most dangerous because it contained pipes of hydrogen gas of different sizes, which were in danger of explosion.

Deportation decisions were issued by the competent authority for the people seized. Additionally, the owner of the property was summoned for interrogation about how the residential complex became a commercial complex. Medicines seized were sent to the Ministry of Health for analysis to find out their source and where they were stolen.
