The office of public prosecution accused seven defendants of forging entry visas and work permits for foreign workers. The office requested the court to penalise the defendants according to the relevant laws.

The court ruled that the defendants from the first to the fifth should be imprisoned for three years. The court ruled that the third, fourth and fifth defendants should be deported after the execution of the ruling. The court acquitted the sixth and seventh defendants. The court also ruled that the forged documents should be confiscated.

The defendants (except the fifth one) and the office appealed the ruling before the court of appeal. The court amended the appealed ruling on the first to fourth defendants and suspended the announcement of the ruling on the condition that they pay 500 Dinars each and have good conduct for one year. The court dismissed the office’s appeal.

The fifth defendant made an objection to the ruling. The court upheld the objected ruling.
