Saudi’s National Gas and Industrialization Co (GASCO) says embezzlement claims made in its six-month financial results in August are being processed by Public Prosecution.

The company told the Saudi Stock Exchange (Tadawul) that evidence-gathering procedures are being processed against all suspects, and shareholders would be updated on the investigation on conclusion.

Argaam reported that the alleged embezzlement relates to SAR 34.2 million ($9.1 million) of the company’s funds which were disbursed to authorities which did not have contracts or legal documents relating to GASCO between 2017 and Q1 2020.
