KUWAIT CITY, July 27: The Criminal Court, presided over by Judge Al-Dhuwaihi, has sentenced a Kuwaiti citizen to five years in prison for attempting to smuggle individuals whose citizenships had been revoked.

Additionally, the court handed down three-year prison sentences to several accomplices, including a corporal stationed at the Nuwaiseeb border crossing, his brother, and a stateless individual, for falsifying entry and exit documents.

Meanwhile, the court chose not to impose penalties on three others (a man, a juvenile, and a woman) whose citizenships had also been revoked. Their arrests followed a coordinated ambush and surveillance operation conducted by detectives, which included photographing the suspects at the time of capture.

KUWAIT CITY, July 27: A domestic dispute took a dramatic legal turn in Kuwait after an expatriate man accused his wife and mother-in-law of being “scammers” in official court documents, allegedly to prove he had been deceived during their 15-year marriage.

According to security sources, the case began when the wife, a 1989-born expatriate woman, filed a complaint at the Hawally  Police Station accusing her husband—born in 1971—of slander and defamation. She claimed he submitted documents to the Hawally Court describing her and her mother as members of a “scammer family,” citing name similarities with others involved in fraudulent activities.

The matter was referred to Hawally detectives, who summoned the husband for questioning. During the interrogation, he was confronted with both his wife’s accusations and the documents he had submitted in court.

Faced with the evidence, the man confessed to making the claims, citing ongoing family disputes and financial pressures as his motivation. He admitted that the allegations were rooted in personal conflict rather than actual fraud. Authorities are continuing to review the case for further legal action.
