KUWAIT CITY, July 22: The Criminal Court, headed by Counselor Nasser Al-Badr, released on bail of KD500 a citizen — one of 13 individuals under trial for trafficking in unlicensed firearms and ammunition, in addition to money laundering. The hearing was postponed until Sept 15 to summon the incident officer. Attorney Dhari Al-Tararwa, who appeared in court on behalf of the citizen, presented comprehensive legal arguments. He requested his client’s release, asserting that there are no justifications for the pretrial detention and that there is no danger in releasing the accused. The court granted the request.

The Public Prosecution charged the defendants with possession of various firearms, like pistols and Kalashnikov machine guns, and unlicensed ammunition for trafficking, as well as money laundering, in which the money involved is estimated at thousands of Kuwaiti dinars proven to have been obtained through illegal activities. Case files indicate that the defendants’ roles varied, some were involved in the possession and trafficking of firearms, while others assisted and participated in the agreement and planning. The case documents include details regarding communications, weapons distribution, and methods of transferring funds.
