Doubts over mismatched car details and ownership records have cleared a 29-year-old man accused of embezzling a rental vehicle and owing BD1,530 in arrears.
The court’s decision followed a compelling defence by lawyer Hanan bin Hammouda, who dismantled the prosecution’s claims by presenting evidence that contradicted the allegations.
The charges alleged that between 2023 and 2024, in the Southern Governorate, the man rented a car from a company but failed to return it or pay the daily fee of BD8, resulting in overdue charges of BD1,530.
However, Bin Hammouda argued that her client had returned the car and provided a criminal report to back up her claim. An employee of the rental company filed a complaint, claiming the defendant had not returned the car.
