المملكة: Because the conviction was not proven… a court acquits an accused in a financial fraud case


A competent court ruled to acquit an accused of the charge of engaging in a gang formation for financial fraud, after deciding to dismiss the public lawsuit because the conviction was not proven with absolute certainty.

In its ruling, the court considered that criminal rulings are based on certainty and certainty, not on doubt and conjecture, affirming the inherent judicial principle that the principle is acquittal.

The chapters of the case began with the Public Prosecutor accusing the citizen of participating with others in operations An organized financial fraud that aimed to seize amounts of cash exceeding 20,000 riyals and electronic devices from several victims through means of deception and deception.

The accused denied before the judicial department all the charges against her, which prompted the court to carefully examine the case papers, review the video clips presented as evidence, and listen to the defenses of all concerned parties.

The court concluded in the merits of its ruling that the evidence and evidence presented by the public prosecution remained in the realm of suspicion and did not rise to the level of evidence. The ruling was based on well-established jurisprudential and legal principles, recalling the sayings of scholars that “a mistake in a pardon is better than a mistake in a punishment,” and that doubt is always explained in favor of the accused, as the basis of innocence is only removed with certainty that is not subject to possibility.

The circuit stressed in its decision that the accusation is abstract, whatever it may be. Its seriousness does not replace tangible physical evidence, and limiting suspicions in imposing penalties violates the legal and regulatory approach that requires definitive proof of the crime.

The court ruled permanently to reject the Public Prosecutor’s case and to release the accused on bail, while giving the parties to the case thirty days to object before the ruling becomes final and becomes enforceable.
