Sloppy mistake leads to OMR2000 fine for criminals

A sloppy mistake by a group of four expats led to them being caught red handed replacing the manufacturing date on expired car tyres.
The expats had sold the tyres in January, 2019 but had faked the manufacture date for them so that it also read January, 2019.
“The tyres cannot have been manufactured, shipped, and supplied in the same month, especially since shipping these goods from the country where they were made would have taken between 30-35 days. Based on that, the proper procedures were taken against the four accused.” - Public Authority for Consumer Protection
The four expats paid a fine of OMR2000 after the court of first instances in Ibra found them guilty of the crime, violating Article 7 of the Consumer Protection Law of 2014.
