A senior expatriate banker working in a foreign bank based in the capital was deported Wednesday after serving a period of detention in a government camp for alleged misappropriation of family funds.

Pakistan Embassy sources confirmed to Arab News Abdulkadeer Mirza's deportation to an unknown destination. The sources said the mission offered consular services to Mirza, who was not willing to meet anyone from the mission except his lawyers.

Two others who were allegedly having aided and abetted Mirza in his embezzlement, were also deported the same day, according to unconfirmed sources.

Mirza, a Canadian national of Pakistani origin, has been working in the bank since 1976 and has been an active sportsman involved in organizing various sports tournaments in the capital. Mirza has Pakistani and Canadian citizenship.

The man was convicted of misappropriating SR900,000 that was due to his daughter-in-law after his son Shaheya Mirza's death.

Shaheya was married to Madiha, Rajah Ahmed's daughter. The couple had two children who now live with Rajah Ahmed.

The government acted on a complaint of Rajah Ahmed, who said that the end-of-service benefits due to his widowed daughter were taken by her father-in-law Abdukadeer Mirza.

“After my persistent persuasion, we got SR300,000 and he has yet to pay the balance. Now he has left the Kingdom and the chances of getting the remaining sum is remote,” Rajah Ahmed told Arab News.

“Everything went on well with my daughter, who has two children, until her husband's death,” Ahmed said, recalling that he and his family had to go to Saudi Human Rights Commission to redress their grievances.

Rajah Ahmed lives with wife and his six children ( including the wife of the deceased) in Riyadh.

Ever since the problem started, Rajah Ahmed said that he had been receiving death threats from Mirza's family in Islamabad.

“Now I am afraid to go back to my country since Mirza's people could harm me and my family members,” he said, adding that he would prefer to seek asylum in a European country which could accommodate him to save his family from this plight.
