Travel agency cheating Bahrain customers online busted

Manama : The police have arrested a man for selling fake flight  and hotel tickets, the Anti-corruption and Economic and Electronic Security director-general announced.

The arrest was made after investigators spotted an Instagram account of a travel agency that receives money without providing any services in return.

An inquiry revealed that the account is fake and that its owners are operating without any legal authorisation.

“The user of the account was identified and arrested after securing a warrant from the Public Prosecution,” the director-general said.

In a statement, he said
that legal measures are underway to refer the suspect to the Public Prosecution to face charges.
