In a separate case, citizen Mohammed Ghazi Al-Sayed and two Yemeni residents, Abdulmalik Ahmed Qaid and Abdullah Abdu Qasim, were arrested in Riyadh while receiving SAR 1.49 million as payment for illegally facilitating the entry of a container from Jeddah Islamic Port.

Furthermore, a Sudanese resident, Othman Mohammed Abdulrahman, was arrested while delivering a vehicle and SAR 20,000, representing part of an agreed payment totaling SAR 80,000, for facilitating the entry of a shipment from Jeddah Islamic Port containing approximately four tons of tobacco.
