Sana'a: The Specialized Criminal Court of First Instance in the capital has issued a ruling in a significant real estate forgery case involving 188 defendants. These individuals were accused of falsifying official documents to illegally acquire endowment lands and private properties. The forged documents facilitated the creation of fake land sale and purchase contracts, leading to the unlawful appropriation of more than 38,000 square meters of land in the capital and other governorates.
According to Yemen News Agency, the court, under the leadership of Judge Rabie Al-Zubair, found 150 of the defendants guilty. The session was attended by Public Prosecutor Judge Mohammed Al-Qatami and Court Clerk Radwan Ghallab. Among the convicted, three defendants were specifically found guilty of impersonating a public official, namely a "Sharia notary," without the required legal authorization. This case highlights the ongoing issues of document forgery and property fraud in the region.
