On Tuesday, the Public Funds Prosecution issued an assignment to summon a number of companies and money exchange offices in the Ma'rib governorate for investigation regarding charges of harming the national economy and the collapse of the local currency.
A legal source said that the Public Prosecution issued a memorandum summoning ten money changers to appear before it tomorrow, Wednesday, December 16, 2020, to investigate them in the report against companies, shops, exchange institutions and remittances on the subject of “remittance commissions” as a financial crime to harm the national economy, collapse the local currency, and exploit the needs of citizens.
The assignment of attendance includes the following exchange companies: Al-Hadha, Dadeya, Al-Hazmi, Al-Mujrabi and others.
Lawyers submitted a formal complaint to the Public Prosecution Office in Marib last week, accusing money exchanges, institutions and banking companies in the governorate of "committing financial crimes to harm the national economy and the collapse of the local currency, and imposing large sums of money in exchange for" transfer service ", to exploit the need of citizens.
The lawyers demanded "seizing the whistleblower against them, seizing their institutions, companies, stores and money, investigating them in the facts that are the subject of the communication and referring them to trial in order to ensure that the legally prescribed punishment is inflicted and to protect the national economy and the national currency from collapse."
They also demanded, in their communication, to "compensate any citizen who suffered material and moral damages, including obligating the whistleblower against them to return the money they had deducted from the citizens unlawfully."
