Saudi authorities seized a large quantity of imported shirts and other clothes adorned with the cross, a newspaper reported on Thursday.
The ministry of commerce and industry said it had confiscated all the stuff seized at garment shops in the southwestern town of Raniya.
“We confiscated all the stuff after a Saudi customer informed us about the presence of such items at shops,” said Mohammed Dafer Al Subai, director of the government trade office in Raniya.
In its report, the Arabic language daily Sabq newspaper said the items were bought from a dealer in the western Red Sea port of Jeddah but did not mention where they were imported from.
