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.

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.
