KUWAIT CITY, July 13: The Capital Investigation Department successfully ended the evasion of a Kuwaiti citizen wanted in connection with four financial cases involving amounts exceeding one million Kuwaiti dinars.

The suspect was arrested following a carefully planned operation that prevented any possibility of resistance. Authorities devised a strategic ambush where one of the department’s patrol vehicles deliberately positioned itself behind the wanted individual’s car, simulating a traffic delay. When the suspect stepped out of his vehicle (apparently to assist or investigate) the officers swiftly took him into custody and transferred him to the Investigation Department.

According to a security source, the Capital Investigations Department had received intelligence that the wanted citizen was present at a diwaniya (social gathering place) in Farwaniya Governorate, accompanied by a relative. Acting promptly on this information, the department dispatched a specialized team to the location.

The team tracked the suspect’s vehicle and executed the arrest seamlessly without confrontation. The detainee was subsequently referred to the General Department for Implementation to proceed with the ongoing legal process.

This successful operation highlights the proactive measures and coordination by Kuwait’s law enforcement agencies in apprehending fugitives involved in significant financial crimes.
