The four men, who were convicted by the court of seizing £27,000 from a major organisation and breaching into its information system, will be deported after serving their jail term, reported the newspaper, quoting Al Rayah newspaper (Arabic link).
According to the details of the case, the defendants colluded with another unidentifiable person to receive money from abroad in return for a commission of 25% of the amount.
When the money arrived, it was transferred to the account of another defendant in an attempt to cover up its source and returned to the source.

BRITE: then this rule might only fit in the high salary people as what i know that a person with mid salary might some time had to pay more than 50% from his salary for the expense... So in that case it would be an extra stress for the working man.
Good going .. I hope that the "major organization" has now beefed up its security systems
