KUWAIT CITY, Sep 19: As part of its ongoing efforts to strengthen security and enforce traffic discipline, the Ministry of Interior, under the directives of His Excellency Sheikh Fahd Yousef Saud Al-Sabah, First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior, carried out a large-scale security and traffic campaign in the Sabah Al-Salem area.

The campaign was supervised by Acting Undersecretary of the Ministry, Major General Ali Misfer Al-Adwani, in the presence of Brigadier Anwar Ahmed Al-Yatama, Head of the Human Resources and Information Technology Sector. Several security directorates and the Traffic and Operations Sector took part, supported by advanced technologies provided by the Human Resources and IT Sector to help track down wanted individuals and law violators.

The operation resulted in the arrest of multiple offenders for violations related to residency, labor, and traffic laws. Authorities also issued a number of fines and initiated legal proceedings against those involved.

The Ministry of Interior emphasized that such campaigns will continue across various regions of Kuwait, reaffirming its commitment to ensuring road safety, upholding security, and enforcing the law equally on all without exception.

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.

KUWAIT CITY, Sep 18: Hawally detectives have referred two expatriates for deportation after discovering that they were begging in Mishref under false pretenses, including claiming that one of them was suffering from cancer. Security authorities also found forged medical reports and money in their possession, according to official sources.

A security source reported that the Ministry of Interior’s operations room had received multiple complaints regarding two individuals who were frequently seen begging in Mishref while wearing the national dress. Witnesses reported that one of the men claimed to be battling cancer and was unable to afford treatment, prompting further investigation.

“Immediately, a detective patrol was dispatched to Mishref,” the source said. “The individuals were monitored and searched. During the operation, detectives discovered forged medical reports and a sum of money, which the suspects admitted was collected from begging. They also acknowledged that they habitually begged in private residential areas to solicit donations from residents.”

Authorities confirmed that the two expatriates would be referred for administrative deportation in accordance with Kuwaiti law governing fraudulent claims and begging.
