Imprisonment and fine of a female citizen and her resident husband for the crime of commercial concealment

Enable one of his relatives to engage in contracting activity in Riyadh

The Ministry of Commerce announced the issuance of a final court ruling against a Saudi woman who was implicated in the crime of commercial concealment by enabling her resident husband of Syrian nationality to engage in commercial activity through her subsidiary.

The details of the case go back to the Ministry receiving a report about a case of cover-up in a contracting establishment in Riyadh, where it became clear that the woman’s husband had enabled one of his relatives (cousin) to engage in contracting activity in Riyadh.

By initiating the case, it was found that the cover-up took over the management and operation of the institution’s business, and that the citizenship was not aware of the administrative and financial affairs of the facility, and accordingly, the three violators were referred to the judiciary in implementation of the provisions of the anti-cover-up system.

The Riyadh Criminal Court issued a final judicial ruling imposing a six-month prison sentence for each convict separately, a fine of 60,000 riyals and defamation at their expense, in addition to the ancillary penalties prescribed by law, namely: closing the facility, liquidating the activity, writing off the commercial register, and preventing Practicing commercial activity, collecting zakat, fees and taxes, and expelling the third convict who has been concealed from the Kingdom and not allowing him to return to work there.

It is noteworthy that the national program to combat cover-up has adopted modern mechanisms that contribute to restricting the sources of cover-up and eliminating the shadow economy, as 20 government agencies are working to control concealment using artificial intelligence techniques, data and information analysis, and inflict systemic penalties of up to five years imprisonment, and a fine of five million riyals, and the seizure and confiscation of illegal funds after the issuance of final judicial rulings against those involved and defamation of violators at their expense.
