In the Jazan region, Mujahideen patrols from the General Directorate have apprehended an Ethiopian resident for his role in transporting fellow citizens who were flouting border security laws. The vehicle in which these individuals were being smuggled was seized, and all parties involved were taken into custody. Following legal protocols, the violators were handed over to the appropriate authorities, while the individual who facilitated their illegal entry was referred to the Public Prosecution.
The spokesperson for the General Directorate emphasized that anyone involved in aiding border security violators – be it by transporting them, providing shelter, or offering any form of assistance – faces severe penalties. These include imprisonment for up to 15 years, a fine of up to SAR 1 million, confiscation of the means of transport and any shelter used for harboring violators, and public naming.
The spokesperson clarified that this offense is deemed a major crime, deserving of detention and labeled as disgraceful and a breach of trust.
