KUWAIT CITY, Mar 14: The Cassation Court today upheld a seven-year prison sentence for a Kuwaiti teacher convicted of forging medical leave over eight years. In addition to the prison term, the court fined the teacher 100,000 dinars for allegedly receiving undue salaries and ordered her to repay double the amount in fines.

The case revolves around the accused, who, during the period from February 27, 2017, to May 5, 2022, worked as a teacher under the Ministry of Education. During this time, she unlawfully seized 68,000 dinars from her employer by submitting 17 falsified medical recommendations, which she falsely attributed to the General Medical Council at the Ministry of Health.

As a result of these forged documents, her employer granted her exceptional leave, enabling her to receive her monthly salaries without entitlement. She subsequently spent and appropriated these funds for her own use. The court found her guilty of committing forgery in official documents, acting in collusion with an unknown individual and with the assistance of public employees within her employer’s organization.

Keep Your Software Updated: Regularly update your operating system, antivirus, and applications to protect against the latest security threats.
