According to the facts of the case, as established by the court and reassured by its conscience, the accused received the amount from the victim company with the intention of converting it into dirhams and seized it for himself to the detriment of the victim.

A company official said in the Public Prosecution's investigation that he handed over 50,<> Saudi riyals to a representative of the company in order to transfer it from an exchange shop to its equivalent in dirhams.

Because the representative was late in replying to him, he called him and asked him why he had not brought the money, and he told him that he could not transfer the amount because it exceeded the maximum allowed limit for transferring money, and that he had handed the amount to an Asian person he met outside the exchange company to transfer it in his favor, so the official asked him to be careful, but he called him 10 minutes later and told him that the Asian person had seized the amount.

The delegate pointed out that an Asian person picked it up outside the teller shop, and asked him if he wanted to transfer the amount, in exchange for a simple commission of 30 dirhams, and he agreed to that, pointing out that the defendant in turn handed over the amount to another person of his nationality and asked him to enter the exchange company and exchange it for the local currency of the state.

He added that he waited with the accused outside the exchange shop, but the time was long and the latter's friend did not appear, so he asked him to enter, and discover the reason for not appearing, noting that the accused stayed for a while and then went out, and told him that the person who received the money fled the place.

When questioned in the Public Prosecution's investigations, the accused denied the charge against him, stating that he was standing in front of the exchange shop to carry out his daily business of transferring money for the benefit of people who could not do so in exchange for a percentage.

The defendant said that he met the delegate who was in possession of 50 thousand Saudi riyals, and offered to transfer it in his favor through a person with a valid residency, and then asked someone he knew to enter the exchange and transfer the amount, while he waited with the delegate abroad, but that person was absent inside the exchange shop, so he went to check it, but he discovered that he stole money and fled the place without paying attention to it. The defendant also held a sit-in in his denial before the court, which concluded that he was convicted of embezzlement, and sentenced him to two months in prison, fined him 49,<> dirhams, and deported him from the state.
