According to the official, these expats are mostly company owners leaving the country after their businesses fold.
Lieutenant Colonel Fahad Al Hosni, Assistant Director at the Criminal Investigation Department of Muscat Police Command, said: “For expats who have bounced cheques, the majority were company owners leaving the country writing cheques with not enough money. These bounced cheques are referred to the ROP, Public Prosecution and then courts.”
Al Hosni added that after issuing the verdict, the authorities will liaise with “Interpol” an international organisation which facilitates worldwide police cooperation, in an effort to track down all defaulters.
