Property Owner, Wife and Two Sons Jailed for Two Years in Fifth Settlement Fraud Case

A misdemeanour court has sentenced a property owner, his wife and their two sons to two years in prison with labour each in a real estate fraud case.

The case concerned accusations that the four had taken money from a woman in connection with the purchase of a villa rooftop in the Fifth Settlement.

The proposed rooftop purchase became the subject of a dispute, forming the basis of the criminal proceedings against the owner and his family.

The court imposed the same sentence on all four defendants. No further details were provided about the amount of money involved or the terms of the transaction.
