KUWAIT CITY, July 13: In a large-scale security and traffic operation launched early Sunday morning, Kuwait’s Traffic and Operations Sector — through the coordinated efforts of the General Traffic Department and the General Directorate of Rescue Police — conducted a sweeping campaign across the country’s highways, resulting in a total of 506 traffic violations being recorded.

The operation involved the widespread deployment of traffic and security patrols along major roads and highways, aimed at clamping down on reckless driving, enhancing road safety, and enforcing traffic regulations. Authorities emphasized that the campaign targeted individuals whose behavior posed a risk to the safety and security of other road users.

As part of the enforcement drive, 10 vehicles were impounded due to serious traffic violations. Additionally, five individuals with active arrest warrants were apprehended during the campaign. Police also detained three individuals who failed to present any form of identification, and three vehicles were confiscated as they were wanted by the judicial authorities.

The crackdown further led to the arrest of three juveniles for operating vehicles without a valid driving license. One individual classified as an absconder was also taken into custody. Moreover, two persons were arrested for possession of suspected narcotic and intoxicating substances. In the latter case, the substances were seized as a precautionary measure pending further investigation.

Authorities reaffirmed their commitment to ongoing operations of this kind, warning that similar campaigns will continue to ensure public safety and uphold law and order on Kuwait’s roads.

Employer and Accountant Under Scrutiny in Hawally Forgery Case

Published

By

KUWAIT CITY, Sep 18: A forgery case has been registered at Hawally Police Station following a dispute over KD 1,200 involving an employer and two expatriates, one of whom works as an accountant. The case file has been referred to the Public Prosecution for reinvestigation of all parties involved.

According to a security source, the case began when one of the expatriates visited the police station to contest a commercial lawsuit filed by his employer. The lawsuit claimed that the employee had received an advance of KD 1,200 and refused to return it.

The expatriate denied taking any advance payments, explaining that he had indeed received KD 1,200 from the office, but it was a commission paid to him by the accountant for facilitating a contract between the office and a client. He further requested that the accountant be included as a party in the case, asserting that the receipt confirming the payment was in the accountant’s possession. He claimed that the receipt had been tampered with — specifically, the word “commission” had been replaced with “advance.”

Investigators opened a formal inquiry into the incident and summoned all parties involved for questioning. Following the investigation, authorities concluded that the KD 1,200 was legitimately received as a commission and not as an advance. The receipt had indeed been altered, but it remains unclear who was responsible for the forgery — whether it was the employer or the accountant.

The case continues to be under investigation as the Public Prosecution examines all evidence to determine responsibility for the document tampering.
