KUWAIT CITY, July 17: The Ministry of Commerce and Industry has confirmed the raid of a warehouse utilised in the illegal refurbishment and sale of used tyres as new, a grave violation of safety and commercial regulations. In an official statement on the issue, the ministry disclosed that its emergency inspection teams raided the warehouse where more than 1,900 tyres were confiscated, following extensive investigations and field surveillance. It was discovered that the used tyres were remanufactured without adhering to approved technical or safety standards, posing a risk to the public, and it is considered a case of commercial fraud.

Sources said that the warehouse prepared the recycled tyres for distribution in the local market, misleading consumers and endangering lives. The ministry affirmed that all the necessary legal measures have been taken against the violator, indicating the case was referred to the relevant authorities for further investigation and appropriate punitive action.

The ministry stressed that it will not tolerate any action deemed harmful to the public or violating market integrity, warning that such offenses are punishable under commercial fraud laws. Officials also urged consumers to remain vigilant, purchase tyres only from trusted and licensed vendors, and report any suspicious activity through the official communication channels of the ministry. They pointed out that this is a manifestation of the ongoing efforts of the ministry to safeguard consumers and maintain fair trade practices in the local market.

KUWAIT CITY, July 17: The Criminal Court (Domestic Violence) acquitted a Kuwaiti woman of abusing her two children. The court based its decision on the pleadings of the defense lawyer, Attorney Abdul Mohsen Al-Qattan, who pointed out the lack of incriminating evidence. Case files indicate that the ex-husband of the accused claimed she beat their two sons and caused them injuries.
After examining the medical and psychological reports and the testimonies of the alleged victims, the court established the absence of conclusive evidence to support the accusation. Although the report of the Child Protection Office stated that the mother used ‘disciplinary beating’ as a parenting method, the same report confirmed the existence of positive feelings between the children and their mother.
