Mogadishu (HOL) - The Court of Appeal of Banadir region acquitted two former Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs directors of corruption charges on Tuesday.

In contrast, the court sentenced Abdiwahid Muhsin Ibrahim, an employee of the Ministry of Labor, to three years in prison after it was found that money was deposited in his account instead of the government treasury.

Last month, the Banadir regional court also acquitted Mohamed Adan Jimale Koofi, the former director of Somalia's immigration and citizenship agency, and Muhidin Hassan Jurus 'Saabey,' the head of taxation at the Ministry of Finance, in corruption cases.
