DOHA: A criminal court yesterday sentenced three Asians to two years in jail and fined QR20,000 ($5,500) each for brewing and selling illicit liquor and laundering QR472,000 ($130,000) amassed from the business. The court ruled that the trio be deported after they have served the sentence. One was caught after his bank account showed a transaction of QR472,000 (through cash deposits and withdrawals) over a few months. The trio was caught by police in Al Shamal after one of them was held carrying stocks of liquor brewed by them at a house in Al Rayyan for sale.The Peninsula
