The office of the public prosecution filed a case against a defendant before the court. They requested the court to penalize the defendant for holding counterfeit currency. It said that he had tried to exchange the currency through Saudi Arabian Monetary Authority (SAMA).

The defendant claimed that he was not aware of the nature of the currency.

The court considered the documents of the case. The court said that documents revealed that the office had failed to provide a solid evidence against the defendant. The court said that the defendant's intent to exchange the currency meant that he did not know the nature of the currency.

The court acquitted the defendant.

The court of appeal upheld the ruling.
