Unusual theft case: An unusual case of theft has been filed against a woman at the Nugra Police Station accusing her of breaking into the office of lawyer Khaled Al-Saadi and stealing some of its contents, reports Al-Anba daily.
Al-Saadi’s lawyer told the prosecutor that he had received a call from the suspect who asked to meet him and during the meeting she told him that she was being threatened (which he later the story was not true) and asked him to represent
her.
The next morning he was surprised to see threatening statements against him in her Twitter account, and was shocked to learn she had broken into his office at noon when no one was around taking advantage of the situation because at that time everyone leaves their offices for a break.
