Saudi: Expat jailed 5 years for transporting illegal into Kingdom
An Arab national was sentenced to five years in jail for transporting illegals into Saudi Arabia, the Public Prosecution said.
The accused had agreed with a cross-border criminal gang to smuggle a group of people from a neighbouring country into the Kingdom in exchange for $4,000, investigations revealed.
He was arrested and referred to the relevant court.
However, the Public Prosecution office filed an objection to the ruling, calling for a tougher penalty for the convict.
