Jeddah police received complaints from citizens and residents against a girl known as the “Phantom Girl,” after she managed to amass SR600 million by deceiving people into investing in bogus real estate deals.

A special investigative committee began gathering information on the case and expects to refer the girl to public prosecution in the next few days.

Sources revealed that Jeddah police received hundreds of complaints against the accused who has been sent to the girls’ welfare home in Makkah until investigations are completed and an inventory is made of the damages.

Police are still receiving complaints from people who were involved in fictitious deals established by the young woman, and according to sources, the girl will be referred to the Bureau of Investigation and Public Prosecution. Victims filed a complaint against the girl at the Supreme Court in Jeddah demanding her arrest, and preventing her from traveling, in addition to stopping all services and forcing her to return the money to the victims.

In a related matter, authorities pursued five citizens who deceived 260 investors in Madinah by establishing a financial investment company on the Internet, swindling an estimated sum of SR400 million.

Investigation into the file of what is known as “Sawa investments,” revealed random dealings to collect large amounts of money through private and highly professional appointments.

While investigations are still under way in the Sawa file, a judge at the criminal court in Jeddah said that some people look on embezzlement as profession.
