Asian man sentenced to jail and deportation for counterfeiting degree certificate

A Doha Criminal Court has sentenced an Asian man to three years in jail and subsequent deportation for counterfeiting his university degree certificate.

Local Arabic daily Arrayah reported yesterday that the defendant was spotted by the employee concerned when he submitted the certificate in Doha to attest the stamp of the Qatari embassy in his home country.

It turned out that the defendant agreed with an unidentified person to counterfeit for him a degree in accounting, and used on it a sticker of the embassy, retrieved from another document.

However, the defendant denied the counterfeiting, which was proven by the authorities, and told the court that he would submit the original. But, he was unable to submit the original and the court convicted him.

Three years in jail! That is going to send a message to those who practice such devious activities.

Got no sympathy for him..

I would also ask the authorities to look into Rizks' degree from M.I.T (Malabar Instructional Think Tank)
