The Public Prosecutor of Integrity and Anti-Corruption decided to detain an accountant working in a government institution for a period of 15 days, pending investigation in a reform and rehabilitation center, on charges of embezzlement.

An official source in the Integrity and Anti-Corruption Commission said in a press statement today, Tuesday, that the Metrological Verification Center of the Institution for Standards and Metrology undertakes the calibration of tank and taxi meters, as it charges 23 dinars as a fee for calibrating tank meters and about 9 dinars as a fee for calibrating taxi meters.

And he indicated that the accountant was manipulating the tanker meter receipts, as he cut the first copy with the correct fare, while the rest of the copies used to record the taxi meter fare on it and seize the fare difference during the years from 2016 until the discovery of his order this year.

The source added that the Council of the Integrity and Anti-Corruption Commission formed a committee to count the amounts seized by this accountant, and it turned out that he was accused of appropriating the amount of 83 thousand and 460 dinars through 1346 receipts for which he received his wages.
