Cash embezzlement case and its consequences
Dear Sir,
One of my friends did cash embezzlement in a company and he returned the full amount also but now the company filed a Tawafuq complaint.
What will be the scenarios of the penalty?
The passport is with the company and he got terminated. Their Tawafuq hearing is on Saturday.
Please advise.
Dear Sir/ Madam,
Thank you for getting in touch with me on this.
Please note that your friend's act amounts to be criminal in nature for which he can face imprisonment or deportation, depending on the quantum of damage caused to the company.
Your friend can try to settle the matter with the company for letting him off the case. Alternatively, I would advise that your friend gets a legal representative to handle the case as this can go either way very soon.
On the hearing date, they will just take your friend's statement to understand his side of the story.
I trust you will find the above satisfactory.
Regards,
