Secrets Behind The Gate: Domestic Driver’s Double Life Uncovered

Published

on

KUWAIT CITY, June 24: In a significant development in Kuwait’s ongoing fight against narcotics trafficking, Jabriya detectives have referred a domestic driver employed by a Kuwaiti citizen to the Public Prosecution on charges of drug possession and distribution. Investigators are currently working to uncover the identity of an unidentified individual believed to be orchestrating the trafficking operation remotely—possibly from inside the Central Prison or from abroad.

According to a security source familiar with the case, the investigation began when detectives received a tip-off regarding an expatriate with a domestic worker residency permit (Article 20), who was allegedly involved in large-scale drug distribution across several areas in Kuwait. The suspect, who worked as a household driver, was reportedly using his room within his sponsor’s residence in Jabriya as a storage point for narcotics.

After confirming the validity of the intelligence through surveillance and further inquiries, detectives apprehended the suspect and searched both his living quarters and his sponsor’s vehicle. During the operation, officers discovered seven packets of shabu (methamphetamine) and various chemical substances concealed in the vehicle. A subsequent search of the driver’s room yielded additional quantities of crystal meth, chemicals used in drug processing, a digital weighing scale, and cash believed to be proceeds from drug sales.

During questioning, the suspect admitted to receiving and redistributing the drugs but claimed he had no knowledge of the identity of the supplier or the logistics behind the financial transactions. Authorities suspect the operation is being coordinated remotely by a third party, raising the possibility that the mastermind may be incarcerated or operating from outside the country.

The case has now been referred to the Public Prosecution for further legal action, while investigations continue to trace the broader network and bring other individuals involved to justice.

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.
