RIYADH: A Saudi has been jailed for five years for fraudulant activites targeting 41 victims, state news agency SPA reported on Tuesday.

An investigation carried out by fraud prosecution officers revealed that the accused had run several illegal operations, including offering fake products through online sales outlets, deceiving victims into believing that goods were for sale, and then immediately blocking them after they transferred the required amounts to his bank account.

The public prosecution affirmed its commitment to protecting people from fraud and anyone who attempted to acquire money through illegal means.
