Kuwait Fire Force: Tampering with official seal is a criminal offense

Kuwait Fire Force warns of legal consequences for tampering with official seals.

KUWAIT CITY, May 15: The General Fire Force has confirmed that legal action will be taken against any individual found tampering with official state emblems, including seals and stickers, following the circulation of a video clip showing such a violation.

Brigadier General Mohammed Badr Ibrahim, Director of the Public Relations and Media Department at the General Fire Force, stated that the video — widely shared on social media platforms — depicted an individual unlawfully removing an official sticker and seal belonging to the Fire Force without any legal justification.

“What the individual did constitutes a criminal offense under the laws and regulations in force in the country,” Brig. Gen. Badr said, adding that the act represents a clear violation of protected government property and official documentation, which are classified as legally safeguarded symbols.

He stressed that the relevant authorities swiftly responded and have taken the necessary legal measures against the perpetrator.

Brig. Gen. Badr underscored that tampering with any official symbol or seal is a punishable offense that undermines the authority and prestige of official institutions and poses a serious breach of legal protocols.

“The General Fire Force will not tolerate such actions and will address them firmly within the legal framework,” he affirmed.

He concluded his remarks by calling on the public to respect and adhere to the laws in place, urging a collective sense of responsibility in safeguarding official emblems. He encouraged citizens and residents to report any similar violations to the relevant authorities.

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.
