Top officials in prosecution

Over 1,500 government administrative employees have been referred to the public prosecution under the direction of the Supreme National Authority for Combating Corruption (SNACC). The employees will be investigated due to irregularities within their financial disclosure statements.

explained that the SNACC had offered government employees and officials repeated opportunities to declare complete financial disclosure statements. Ultimatums were issued to all suspected persons two weeks ago, al-Matari added, in order to notify all employees. However, according to official records, over 1,500 government administrative employees did not abide by the laws.
