Need to take legal action - Financial Fraud in Riyadh by an Indian
1 year ago
I am Joel, based out of New Delhi. I am representing a printing press company which is based out of Riyadh, SA. One of the company promoter is an Indian.
The production manager has done an illegal job by taking the business orders from the company's client and finishing the work off records without the knowledge of the company. Through this process he has siphoned off around Rs.50 lakhs which was supposed to be company's revenue and has transferred the amount in multiple transactions to his friends and family members in India (Bihar).
The company is in the process of collecting more evidence. Evidence as of now we have is few transactional details and another employee's witness statement.
Although we are taking legal action in Riyadh, We wanted to know whether any legal action can be taken against him or his family members in India with respect to the above incident?
As the accused is an Indian, he can be prosecuted as per Indian laws. However it must be noted that if the courts of jndia recognize the Riyadh ruling as a legitimate one, the proceedings of the case in India will be stayed as one person will not be punished twice for the same crime as per our constitution.
