Bahrain: Two Men are Facing Charges of Faking Power Meter Readings

Two people are being prosecuted by the Bahraini Power and Water Authority (EWA) for allegedly faking electricity meter readings.

After having concerns about a few entries, the EWA initiated investigations, which resulted in the discovery of fraud. The first defendant is the owner of the company that the EWA recruited to record readings.
The second defendant, who was responsible for the charge of supervising the work that other colleagues performed, is accused of fabricating the readings.

According to court papers, he allegedly modified the dates on the meters using an electronic reader.
In order to misrepresent the readings of four electricity meters, he also collected the readings from four other employees.

The High Criminal Court has begun hearing the case.
