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.
