Saudi ministry names violator for selling non-compliant electrical products in Khamis Mushait
Inspection teams from the ministry discovered 125 non-compliant electrical extensions offered for sale at the establishment during routine field visits in Khamis Mushait.
A final ruling by the Court of Appeals in the Asir region imposed a financial penalty, ordered the closure of the business for three days, and mandated the confiscation and destruction of the fraudulent items.
The verdict was also published at the violators' expense.
The Ministry reaffirmed its commitment to enforcing the law and taking action against violators. Penalties under the Anti-Commercial Fraud Law may include up to three years in prison, fines of up to SR1 million, or both, in addition to public naming of offenders.

JLL completes landmark sale of 520-unit Saudi residential compound
JLL Capital Markets, a global provider of capital solutions for real estate investors, said it had advised a prominent Saudi Arabia-based fund on the sale of Antara Residential Compound, a premier expatriate-focused residential development in Diriyah, North Riyadh. Announcing the landmark sale, JLL said the completion of this transaction marks one of the most significant residential real estate deals in Riyadh this year, reflecting its in-depth local market knowledge and its unparalleled expertise in facilitating complex transactions in the kingdom's dynamic market landscape. As the exclusive sell-side advisor, JLL executed a targeted institutional marketing campaign that showcased this unique, sizeable investment opportunity to acquire a best-in-class residential compound. This generated substantial interest from numerous pre-qualified bidders through a highly competitive sales process, it stated. Such robust demand reflects the client's development expertise and underscores the asset's strategic value in Riyadh's residential market, which faces a significant shortage of similar quality living options, it added. Designed as a Mediterranean-inspired resort with exceptional facilities and high-quality amenities, Antara Residential Compound offers 520 units comprising apartments, townhouses, and villas. This highly sought-after residential compound provides a range of in-house amenities, including F&B offerings, sports facilities, lush green spaces, and an extensive events calendar, said a top official. "We are delighted to have successfully supported our client on this strategic transaction, which generated strong market interest and testifies to our client's outstanding asset management capability," remarked Fadi Moussalli, the Senior Director for Capital markets Mena at JLL. "Leveraging our deep expertise and local market knowledge, we connected prominent investors, underscoring JLL's ability to orchestrate competitive sales processes in Saudi Arabia's rapidly expanding residential market," he noted. The professionalism and integrity of the purchaser were instrumental in ensuring the smooth execution of this transaction and it was a pleasure to collaborate with our client's legal counsel, Hourani & Partners, on this market-shaping acquisition, he added. Saud Alsulaimani, Country Lead and Head of Capital Markets for Saudi Arabia at JLL, said: "This transaction highlights the ongoing demand for quality, income-generating assets and the strength and resilience of Saudi Arabia's premium residential market." "The trend towards prioritizing quality and the limited availability of prime assets are driving robust demand. The Kingdom's Vision 2030 agenda has fostered an attractive long-term investment landscape, increasing interest in high-quality properties like the Antara Residential Compound. This successful transaction further reinforces JLL's position as a trusted advisor and partner in the Saudi real estate market," he added.
