Bahrain’s highest court has upheld the eight-year prison sentence of a well-known businessman who embezzled more than six million dinars from 352 investors through his crowdfunding platform.
Although it upheld the confiscation of BD6,831,205 – the amount embezzled – from his property and assets, the Cassation Court reduced the amount he was ordered to pay in restitution to the victims from BD6,831,707 to BD3,821,846 .
