Doha, July 28 (QNA) - HE the Attorney General Dr. Issa bin Saad Al Jafali Al Nuaimi ordered an investigation into allegations involving the forgery of official documents and damage to public funds.
In a statement issued today, the Public Prosecution said it had launched the investigation following a complaint filed by the Ministry of Interior against a female Qatari suspect. Investigations found that she had allegedly conspired with individuals outside Qatar to facilitate the issuance of forged medical leave certificates, falsely attributed to Hamad Medical Corporation, for several Qatari suspects, who then submitted the certificates to government entities to obtain leave.
The statement added that the Public Prosecution's investigation established that the suspect had also agreed with individuals outside the country to provide forged medical leave certificates to additional suspects, including students at educational institutions and employees of several government bodies, in exchange for payments transferred to her bank account. The recipients allegedly used the forged certificates to obtain leave from government entities without legal entitlement, despite knowing the documents were forged.
The Public Prosecution said the investigation was ongoing as it completes the necessary legal procedures related to the case.
It also urged all entities to verify the authenticity of medical leave certificates submitted to them and to report any suspected forgeries so that the appropriate legal action can be taken. (QNA)
