Cemetery is no place to sell liquor in Saudi

An African man wanted to keep his illegal alcohol trade off police eyes so he thought the best way is to do it away from the living world. His business inside a cemetery had just started to flourish before he made the mistake of his life.

When a member of the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice, posting as a customer, told him he wanted to buy 50 bottles, he quickly asked him to follow him to the cemetery.

“As he handed him the bottles, other Commission men were on him,” Sabq newspaper said in a report from the southern province of Asir.
