The Criminal Court sentenced to ten-year imprisonment an Egyptian nurse who forged her documents to be appointed by the Ministry of Health, and imposed a fine of KD 21,000 for undeserved salaries she received in five years. It also imposed a fine of KD 5,000 on another person for forging the nurse’s appointment.

The Public Prosecution had charged the two suspects with forging official documents for employment at the Ministry of Health, using unofficial papers, and seizing sums of money they were not entitled to as a result of this crime. However, the two suspects denied the accusations attributed to them by the prosecution.
