The Public Prosecutor’s Office has announced the imprisonment of a former director of the International Marketing Department at the National Oil Corporation on charges of not collecting a due amount, amounting to $2.7 billion, during the period from 2011 to 2017.
The office explained, in a statement on Friday, that the office concluded that the accused had abandoned his duty to collect a price due at the time from oil and gas sales, which amounted to $2.712 billion, and that “his behavior caused unjustified harm to the public interest. The investigator decided that he should be detained pending the case.”
The statement indicated that the Deputy Public Prosecutor examined reports verifying the financial affairs related to the management of oil and gas exports during the years from 2011 to 2017, and revealed to the investigator that the director had strayed of the requirements of the public interest for seven years.
