KUWAIT CITY, April 9: The incident, which resembled a scene from a movie, took place in Farwaniya when the accused stopped an Egyptian man on the street, assaulted him, stole his phone, and fled in his vehicle. However, just fifteen minutes later, the accused was surprised to find himself being chased by a highway patrol, who ordered him to pull over immediately.

When the accused stopped at the side of the road as instructed, he was astonished to see the man whose phone he had stolen clinging to the roof of his vehicle. The victim informed the police that he had held on to the car because the driver had forcibly stolen his phone. The police immediately arrested the suspect and referred him to the appropriate authorities.

During his appearance before the criminal court, the accused interrupted the judge as soon as he began to read out the charges, saying, “That’s not true.” The judge responded, “I haven’t even started the charge yet—listen first, then respond.” Still, the accused repeated, “That’s not true.” The judge proceeded to list the charges, to which the accused responded with the same phrase. The court adjourned the case and appointed a lawyer to represent the accused, who denied the charges even before hearing them.

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.
