Bahrain files money laundering charges against executives from Saudi-controlled Awal Bank - latimes.com

Bahraini authorities have filed money laundering charges against several executives with a bank controlled by a Saudi billionaire embroiled in a massive cross-border fraud dispute.

The charges issued against Awal Bank executives by the country's public prosecutor's office did not identify the defendants, in line with Bahraini law. Authorities said the case was referred to the Lower Criminal Court for a March 14 hearing.

Nawaf Hamza, the public prosecutor, declined to comment further on Monday or to provide details of who was charged.
