Tayari, who admitted the matter was already in court, however, said KPA has not been served with any documents and was not ready to talk much about the case.

He insisted the woman's bill of lading had many discrepancies.

Tayari explained that the purported bill of lading indicated that the origin of the cargo was from the Azerbaijan Republic and was loaded at Jeddah which was contrary to the actual origin which is Yanbu in Saudi Arabia.
