KUWAIT CITY, July 1: As part of its ongoing campaign to combat organized crime and enforce residency and labor laws, Kuwait’s Ministry of Interior, through the Nationality and Residency Affairs Sector and the General Department of Residency Investigations, has arrested a gang involved in large-scale document forgery aimed at securing travel visas to various European countries.
Investigations carried out in coordination with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs uncovered the gang’s fraudulent methods, which included altering job titles, falsifying employer information, and manipulating work permits, salary details, bank statements, and other official documents to meet visa requirements set by European embassies.
Initial findings also revealed the involvement of an Egyptian national operating a social media account from abroad, who promoted these illegal services and targeted individuals seeking to immigrate illegally. Authorities apprehended several gang members within Kuwait and seized electronic devices and forged documents used in their operations. The suspects and confiscated materials have been referred to the relevant authorities for legal action.
In line with international security cooperation, Kuwait coordinated immediately with authorities in the Arab Republic of Egypt, leading to the arrest of the remaining gang members abroad. Further legal procedures are currently underway.
The Ministry of Interior reaffirmed its commitment to upholding national security and enforcing the law, warning that it will continue to take firm action against anyone involved in such criminal activities. The Ministry also urged the public to comply with all laws and regulations.
