Khaberni - An Asian nurse, employed by a disabled Bahraini, exploited his mobile phone and successfully transferred approximately 25,000 dinars to her bank account. She then transferred the funds to her bank account in her home country in Asia. However, the victim's son incidentally discovered the matter when he noticed repeated bank transfers from his father's phone and found that they were sent for the benefit of the accused and that the amounts exceeded 25,000 dinars. The accused later confessed to the incident and was referred to the major criminal court, which began its first hearing yesterday and decided to postpone the next session to January 20 for review, response, and fetching the accused from her detention.
The case details date back to when the victim's son reported his discovery of large financial transfers from his father's account, totaling 25,000 dinars, to the account of the worker (nurse) during September and October of 2025. After confronting the accused, she admitted that she had taken the victim's phone without his knowledge and used the financial application to transfer the money in installments to her account in Bahrain, and then transferred the entire amount to her account in her Asian country, exploiting the disabled victim’s condition. She mentioned that she had returned 3,500 Bahraini dinar, but did not commit to returning the rest of the amounts she had taken.
It was proven through statements from the financial application that the financial transfers were sent to an international account using the accused's phone, and a verification code was sent to the number to complete the transactions. The public prosecution accused the nurse that within the year 2025, she used the electronic signature and app number linked to the victim’s bank account for fraudulent purposes, specifically to steal cash amounts. She unlawfully accessed the cash amounts owned by the victim by entering incorrect character through the inputting of technical information means—the proprietary verification code of the benefit app being the subject of the charge. Additionally, she illegally entered the information technology system, which is the app owned by the victim, to carry out the financial transfer.
