Two Expats Caught with 917 Bottles of Liquor in Kuwait

KUWAIT CITY, May 6: Security personnel from Fahaheel Police Station have apprehended two expatriates who were found promoting and distributing locally manufactured liquor using a closed vehicle. The suspects were caught in possession of a staggering 917 bottles of alcohol, which they were reportedly selling in various areas, including Fahaheel, Mangaf, and Mahboula.

According to a security source, the arrests were made during a routine patrol in the Fahaheel area. Officers stopped a closed-style bus after noticing that the vehicle’s insurance had expired. Upon inspection, they discovered two expatriates on board, one of whom was already wanted by authorities. As the suspects exited the vehicle, officers observed a black bag containing several bottles, later confirmed to be locally brewed alcohol. This prompted a thorough search of the bus, leading to the discovery of nearly a thousand bottles—specifically 917—of illicit liquor concealed within the vehicle.

In initial questioning, the suspects reportedly confessed to operating an illegal alcohol manufacturing and distribution network. They admitted to producing the liquor themselves, bottling it, and selling it to clients in multiple residential districts for KD 8 per bottle. The two men, along with the confiscated liquor, have been handed over to the General Department for Drug Control for further investigation and legal action. The case highlights ongoing efforts by Kuwaiti authorities to combat illegal alcohol production and distribution within the country.

KUWAIT CITY, June 30: The Court of Cassation has sentenced a Kuwaiti businesswoman to four years in prison with hard labor and fined her 1,152,000 Kuwaiti dinars after convicting her of defrauding several citizens. She falsely claimed to offer residential apartments in the UK for Kuwaiti students, convincing parents that she owned properties near British universities. In exchange for reserving these non-existent units, she collected large sums of money. Investigations revealed that she operated the fraudulent scheme in partnership with an Egyptian accomplice who fled the country once the scam was uncovered. Despite the exposure, she continued her fraudulent activities until her arrest. She was later charged with fraud and money laundering.
