Court to look into case against Anti-corruption body

Two years after it was organized, the National Anti-Corruption Commission is itself facing investigation.
Nazaha, as the agency is known, has been ordered by the Riyadh Administrative Court to appear before the court and answer charges filed by a Saudi citizen that it failed to investigate three corruption cases involving government bodies.
The man who filed the case against the Nazaha is in his 50s and a veteran civil servant. According to local media, the man presented documents to the Commission proving administrative corruption in three government bodies and that the body ignored his claims.
The documents — which have been in the man’s possession for four years — include 22 official letters from these government bodies that substantiate his claims of impropriety. The man also called for six senior officials to be investigated for concealing information and fraud, and shed light on a government body that interfered in a judicial case.
The man claims that he asked the Nazaha to investigate 13 cases in different administrative departments last year and that nothing was done. He also claims that he has contacted the body several times, including five months ago, and that his calls were ignored.
