Court reviewing case of suspects in QR1.2m robbery
A Doha Criminal Court has been reviewing the case of four Asian men accused of stealing QR1.2m from a local exchange company, local Arabic daily Arrayah reported.
The defendants are accused of conspiring and executing a road accident involving a vehicle of the exchange company to steal the money.
According to the file of the case, they crashed their car into the vehicle of the exchange in the Industrial Area and forced the company's employee who was driving to stop it.
They then grabbed a bag containing QR1.2m and fled.
Investigations revealed that the car used by the defendants in the crime carried number plates stolen from another vehicle, which had been reported earlier.
The car used by the defendants was traced by reviewing the recordings of the street surveillance cameras of the area where the crime took place and the road leading to and out of it.
The car was abandoned without the number plates with a clear indication of a heavy crash.
The owner of the car was located with the help of the chassis number.
One of the defendants, who turned out to be the owner of the car, was arrested while trying to leave Qatar through the airport with a bag containing QR440,900.
Upon interrogation, he led the police to the other three accomplices, who confessed to their involvement in the crime.
The case is still being heard by the court.

Where is the remaining 1,200,000 - 440,900 = 759,100 Rials ?
Brit! Maybe the case is being reviewed because initially they thought the amount stolen was up to 1.2m surely they realized it was less.. Anyway that wouldn't reduce the sentence in anyway..
So why is the case being reviewed?
