An illegal worker running a company specialising in seafood trade has been arrested in Saudi Arabia for falsifying the expiry dates of products, among a slew of other charges.
The Ministry of Commerce has arrested the owner for violating the anti-commercial fraud system, falsifying the expiry dates of imported fish and shrimp products, packing and wrapping them inside containers bearing new dates and with the allegation of promoting the product as one that has been 'produced locally' with the aim of selling it to consumers.

Authorities seized 264 tonnes of seafood (fish, shrimp, crab sticks, and crabs), including imported seafood and those of unknown origin, and more than 800,000 packages used for these products.
