KUWAIT CITY, May 21: In his second trial session before the Ministerial Court regarding the Ministry of Defense’s secret expenditures case, former Defense Minister Sheikh Ahmad Al-Fahad submitted a check to the court for the amount he is accused of embezzling, and requested that it be handed over to the General Department for Sentences Enforcement. His defense attorney requested the summoning of witnesses and the incident officer. He also requested a statement of the Ministry of Defense’s secret expenditures from 1962 until just before his client assumed the ministerial portfolio.

The court adjourned the case to June 24 to hear the testimony of witnesses, including the investigations officer and two Ministry of Defense employees, and to settle the value of the check in question. The court also decided to adjourn to June 24 the ruling on the Financial Investigation Unit’s appeal regarding allegations of Sheikh Ahmad Al-Fahad’s interference in the previous National Assembly elections.
