A Saudi man who decided to sell the family house and buy a new one in another city managed to get nearly SR1.1 million (Dh1.05 million), which he happily deposited in the bank. A few days later, he was shocked to find only SR850 (Dh840) in his account.
When he was told by the bank that his son withdrew the funds, he went straight to the police and filed a robbery case against the son.
“The father was hoping to buy a new house in Dammam… when he checked his account, he found that only SR850 was left… he told the police that his son stole his life savings,” Alyoum daily said in a report from the eastern province of Ihsaa.
The paper did not specify the son’s age or say how he managed to withdraw the money from his father’s account.
