- RIYADH: A Filipino maid who was accused of theft has been repatriated home, according to the Philippine Embassy.
A case was filed with a Dammam court on June 29 against 29-year-old Linda Grace de la Rosa of Alkhobar. She had earlier been identified as “Rosalinda” in an Arab News report on July 13.
De la Rosa, who maintains that she did not steal a ring worth SR375,000 from her employer because she was not allowed to enter his bedroom where it was supposedly kept, left the Kingdom on August 21. The embassy said the sponsor issued an exit visa after the Philippine Overseas Labor Office in the Eastern Region (POLO-ERO) headed by Labor Attaché Adam A. Musa made the necessary arrangements.
“The sponsor also provided a one-way ticket and SR10,000 as gesture of compensation since the case had dragged on for at least four months. She also received her outstanding pay,” the embassy said.
Musa said the sponsor dropped the case against her out of goodwill and in the spirit of Ramadan.
