KUWAIT CITY, May 1: Hawally detectives have referred a Kuwaiti citizen to the Public Prosecution in connection with a land fraud case involving a bogus real estate deal in a neighboring Gulf country. The referral was accompanied by an investigative report that corroborates the victim’s complaint and refutes the defendant’s claim that the money in question was a personal loan.

According to a security source, the case began when a Kuwaiti woman, born in 1984, filed a complaint at the Hawally Police Station alleging that she had been defrauded of KD 3,500. She told police she had seen an advertisement on a social media platform promoting the sale of a prime plot of land in a Gulf country. After reaching out to the advertiser, who identified himself as a Kuwaiti citizen, she agreed to purchase the land. She transferred KD 3,500 as a down payment, with the balance to be settled after inspecting the site in person.

However, upon traveling to the specified location, the woman discovered that no such plot existed. “I found out I had bought an illusion,” she told police. “There was no land for sale in the area the seller had mentioned. When I confronted him, he began avoiding me and eventually stopped answering my calls altogether. He never returned the down payment.”

Detectives from the Hawally Investigations Department took over the case and summoned the 45-year-old suspect. During questioning, he admitted receiving the KD 3,500 but claimed it was a debt owed to him by the complainant, not payment for any land transaction.

However, further inquiries by investigators contradicted the defendant’s version of events. Both parties were re-interviewed, and the detectives’ report ultimately concluded that the man had indeed committed fraud. A background check revealed that the suspect has a prior criminal record involving similar fraud and deception cases, according to the Ministry of Interior’s database.

The case has now been formally referred to the Public Prosecution for further legal action.

KUWAIT CITY, Oct 13: Security personnel and detectives from Abdali conducted a successful raid on an illegal liquor factory located in a remote desert area of Abdali, arresting six Asian nationals who were operating the facility.

According to a security source, the operation followed a period of close surveillance and investigation after authorities received information about the illicit activity. During the raid, officers discovered a large number of barrels used in the distillation process, along with various tools, equipment, and materials used in the production of alcohol. Additionally, numerous bottles of locally made liquor, already filled and prepared for sale, were seized from the site.

Upon interrogation, the six arrested individuals reportedly confessed to manufacturing the liquor and distributing it for sale. Both the suspects and the confiscated materials have been referred to the relevant authorities for further legal action.

It is worth noting that in August, the Ministry of Interior arrested 67 individuals linked to the production and sale of locally made alcoholic beverages during raids on ten illegal factories — six dedicated to manufacturing and four operating within residential and industrial areas.
