Cairo: Two employees at a major Bahraini state medical centre have been referred to a criminal trial on charges of seizing a large quantity of medical drugs worth about BD38,000, a prosecution official has said.
Public prosecution completed investigation into the case after receiving a report from the country’s anti-corruption watchdog that the two, who worked at the Salmaniya Medical Complex in Manama, had seized a total of 244,000 medical tablets, the head of the Financial Crimes and Money Laundering Prosecution added.
The suspects admitted to having manipulated their work in a pharmacy at the centre and lack of supervision by repeatedly embezzling different types of medicines for personal use and distribution to relatives, the official said, according to Akhbar Al Khaleej newspaper. Witnesses were also cross-examined in the case.
