The First Deputy Prime Minister directed the formation of an investigative committee to ascertain the circumstances surrounding the illegal exit of an individual from the country.

Security agencies within the Ministry of Interior have apprehended a fugitive suspect wanted in connection with assisting an individual to leave the country illegally, following intensified search, investigation, and security monitoring operations.

The suspect had previously been detained by border police on charges of assisting someone to exit the country illegally, and was referred to the General Directorate of Criminal Investigations to complete investigative procedures. During his custody, he managed to escape.

In accordance with directives from the First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior, Sheikh Fahad Al-Yousef, an immediate investigative committee was formed to examine the circumstances surrounding the escape, paving the way for necessary legal actions against anyone found responsible.

The Ministry of Interior urges the public not to harbor, conceal, or assist any wanted or escaped individual, to avoid facing legal accountability.
