Court Overturns Jail For Lebanese Pimp, 3 Women Accused Of Prostitution

Published

on

KUWAIT CITY, May 4: The Court of Cassation upheld the decision of the Court of Appeals, which overturned the ruling of the First Instance Court to sentence a Lebanese and three women to three years in prison with hard labor for involvement in prostitution, reports Al-Seyassah daily. Initially, the court decided not to prosecute the defendants for facilitating encounters of certain women with men seeking illicit pleasure.

According to the Public Prosecution, the Lebanese established and operated a prostitution den by organizing the entry of men into an apartment, where they selected women, made their payment and were provided condoms. The prosecution stated that the Lebanese profited from the other three defendants by enticing them into prostitution and collecting their ‘earnings’ with their consent, as proven by investigations. The other three defendants were charged with aiding the Lebanese in managing the prostitution den. Their ‘tasks’ included arranging the entry for men whenever the Lebanese is absent, allowing the men to choose women, receiving payment and providing condoms. The men also engaged in sexual intercourse with the women, all above 21 years old and married. The prosecution stated that two of the defendants are married women who willingly had sexual relations with men other than their husbands.

Attorney Enaam Haider, who represented the Lebanese in court, argued that the appealed ruling violated the law and contained flaws in its application and interpretation. She explained this argument is based on the premise that the prosecution’s authorization was invalid due to frivolous investigations, which concealed essential facts. “Consequently, any evidence derived from this authorization was also invalid,” she asserted. Haider contended that the authorization was issued to apprehend individuals accused of committing a non-existent crime. She pointed out that the appealed ruling was described as violating the law; flawed in its application, interpretation and reasoning; and arbitrary in its conclusions due to the lack of incriminating evidence. In conclusion, Haider stressed that the appealed ruling was flawed in its reasoning and contradicted the evidence stated in the documents; taking into consideration the absence of conclusive evidence establishing the alleged crimes and the impossibility of legally construing the incident as criminal, hence, the accusation is baseless

Cops Catch Fleeing Suspect With Narcotics, Booze, And Big Cash

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.

Police patrols spotted the suspect behaving erratically while driving a four-wheel-drive vehicle. As officers approached, the man attempted to flee the scene, triggering a tense pursuit. But the chase didn’t last long; the patrol quickly forced the vehicle to a halt.

Upon searching the vehicle and the suspect, officers discovered a damning stash: two bottles of alcohol, a quantity of narcotics, and a suspicious bundle of KD 1,000 in cash. The man, described by police as being in an “intoxicated state,” was immediately arrested on suspicion of drug use and possession.

The seized items were confiscated, and the accused was handed over to the General Department for Drug Control, where he now faces serious charges related to drug and alcohol possession.

Police sources say the quick response and alertness of the patrol team helped prevent what could have been a dangerous situation on the road.

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.
