During September, Saudi Arabia's National Program to Combat Commercial Concealment conducted 1,861 inspection tours across the country, uncovering 106 suspected cases of commercial cover-up. These cases were identified through indications and evidence of suspected concealment activities in various commercial establishments. The tours targeted retail activities such as preserved fruits and vegetables, central markets, restaurants, date sales, cafeterias, and electronic and household appliances sales.
Violators were promptly referred to competent authorities for investigation and faced deterrent penalties. Under the Anti-Concealment Law, penalties include imprisonment for up to five years, a fine of up to SR5 million, and seizure of illicit funds after judicial rulings. Additional penalties may involve closing the establishment, liquidating the activity, canceling commercial registration, prohibiting commercial practice, collecting zakat, fees and taxes, publicizing the crime, deporting foreign violators, and prohibiting their return to the Kingdom for work.
