Six restaurant workers jailed for stealing QR3.79m
A Doha Criminal Court has sentenced six expatriate employees of a restaurant to a year in jail for stealing QR3.79m from their employers.
Local Arabic daily Arrayah reported that the defendants exploited the long absence of the owner of the restaurant and his deputy and manipulated the accounts.
They also used to manipulate the bills and entered false information in the electronic system of the sales. They would sell meals and drinks and keep the money to themselves.
The restaurant owner used to travel outside the country frequently and delegated the management of the place to his brother. However, his brother rarely monitored the work, trusting his employees.
Within two years, the owner realised the restaurant was losing money and suspected the employees. Accordingly, a case was filed and investigations found the defendants guilty of stealing the money.
The court ordered deportation of three main defendants after completing their sentence.

the sentence seems a bit lenient ... were they made to repay the amounts they stole ..
