The primary court in Muscat convicted Baqer Al Saleh for receiving bribe while collecting entry fees to the land passages, and for embezzlement of the work allowances. He was sentenced to three years in jail with a fine of 76,804 rials for the first charge and dismissed from the job. On the second charge, Al Saleh was handed one and a half years of imprisonment and a fine of 15,125 rials.
