A court in Jeddah has ordered the Bureau of Investigation and General Prosecution (BIGP) to look into the financial sources of a bank account worth SR7 million owned by a Yemeni resident, who claimed that he earned it from trading in eggs, local media said.

The Saudi Arabian Monetary Agency (SAMA) had earlier discovered the money after a Pakistani resident demanded the implementation of a court ruling in his favor for the payment of SR50,000.

The Yemeni resident had refused to comply with the ruling, a matter that led the court to request SAMA to verify the case, said the local daily.

The court was reportedly dissatisfied with the justification the Yemeni gave for how he had amassed the huge sum and made way for the possibility of fraud and manipulation by ordering an inquiry into the Pakistani expat’s claim and the nature of the deal between the plaintiff and the defendant, the paper said.
