KUWAIT CITY, March 25: Two Kuwaiti citizens, aged 60 and 48 have been referred to the General Department for Drug Control to investigate the source of narcotic substances found in their vehicle. A traffic violation was issued to the 60-year-old driver for operating the vehicle in an abnormal condition and violating traffic lanes.

According to a security source, during a patrol in the Ali Sabah Al-Salem area, rescue officers observed a vehicle swerving erratically, indicating the driver was in an abnormal state. When instructed to stop, the driver initially ignored the request but was eventually forced to halt. Upon further investigation, both the driver and his companion appeared to be in an abnormal condition, prompting officers to search the vehicle. The search revealed narcotic substances, including  Crystal Meth, two white pills believed to be Captagon and two drug paraphernalia items.

In another incident, highway security personnel arrested an individual in possession of Lyrica pills, three suspected Captagon pills, and two e-cigarettes containing hashish. This arrest followed a landline violation on King Fahd Road heading toward Nuwaiseeb and Taraj, where the patrol stopped the vehicle and discovered the occupants were in an abnormal state. A search of the vehicle uncovered the narcotic pills and e-cigarettes.

Seized items along with the accused were referred to the authorities

KUWAIT CITY, July 21: A man in his thirties was caught red-handed in a dramatic drug bust in Sharq area after trying to resist arrest.

The man, described by police as being in an “intoxicated state,” was immediately arrested on suspicion of drug use and possession.

Egyptian Stole Half a Million… Then Opened a Beauty Clinic — Now He’s in Kuwait Jail

KUWAIT CITY, July 21: The Court of Cassation has sentenced an Egyptian national to 10 years in prison with hard labor for charges of breach of trust, embezzlement, and money laundering during his time as a financial manager at the Kuwait Teachers Association.

In addition to the prison term, the court ordered the defendant to pay a fine of approximately KD 1 million and ruled that he be deported from the country upon completion of his sentence.

The case dates back to 2018, when the accused was found to have manipulated the association’s accounts, repeatedly increasing his own salary, issuing unauthorized payments, and disbursing checks that bounced. Investigations revealed that he had exploited his position to issue five unapproved checks and embezzled over KD 500,000, which he funneled into a private business venture.

The stolen funds were allegedly used to open a cosmetic clinic, which generated over KD 400,000 in profits. The court viewed this as a clear case of laundering illicit gains under the guise of legitimate investment.

The final ruling brings an end to a high-profile case that highlighted serious breaches of financial oversight within the association.
