KUWAIT CITY, June 5: The Criminal Court has refused to release the acting manager of a cooperative society who was caught red-handed soliciting a bribe in exchange for services during a sting operation carried out by detectives. The court adjourned the session to allow time for further review and the presentation of video evidence. Earlier, the Ministry of Interior revealed that a citizen — employed as acting cooperative society manager –was arrested after the submission of an official report to the concerned authorities that he allegedly demanded a bribe in return for carrying out his official duties. In a press statement, the ministry said “in coordination with the Public Prosecution, a legal authorization was obtained to monitor and record meetings and conversations. All interactions were documented in both audio and video formats, leading to the suspect’s arrest and referral to the concerned authorities for legal action.”

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.

In exchange for reserving these non-existent units, she collected large sums of money.
