The High Criminal Court set October 30 as the date to announce its verdict in the case of a Bahraini bank employee who took advantage of the authorities given to him to embezzle money from his wife’s account.

The couple reportedly had disagreements, and the husband stole money from her account.

The wife discovered the misconduct of her husband and filed a complaint against him. The defendant has been already fired by the bank for other reasons.

She revealed that the defendant would bring to their home some papers to make her sign them when she had some transactions to make.

She found out that several transactions were made without her approval, including the withdrawal of BD1,800.

The bank investigated the matter and discovered that the man was behind that.

The husband denied any wrongdoing, stating that everyone was done with her consent.

“I was working in the bank for 10 years before I was dismissed.

My wife was the one who would request me to do these transactions.

She would ask me to bring the paperwork and sign them.

On some occasions, she would come to the bank and do everything on her own,” the defendant told the Public Prosecution.
