Absconding Expats who have been reported absent

KUWAIT CITY, June 1: A joint security campaign conducted Thursday morning in the Sabah Al-Ahmad residential area led to the arrest of 130 expatriates for various residency-related violations. The campaign, carried out by Ahmadi security personnel in coordination with the Public Authority for Manpower, targeted companies operating in the area.

Among those detained were 17 expatriates issued fines, 18 with absconding cases registered against them, and 95 individuals who were unable to produce valid identification or residency documents.

KUWAIT CITY, June 1: Six expatriates have been referred to the Deportation Center after being caught inside a restaurant in Jleeb Al-Shuyoukh that had been officially closed by the Kuwait Fire Force. Officers from the Residency Affairs Investigations Department arrested individuals following a report that the restaurant had been illegally reopened.

According to the source, the individuals claimed they entered through a rear door, which did not display a violation closure sticker, to retrieve food and prevent spoilage. However, authorities emphasized that entering any premises under administrative closure, regardless of the access point, is a legal violation.

A spokesperson from the Fire Force confirmed that any attempt to bypass a sealed restaurant for violating rules, including entering through alternate doors, is strictly prohibited. Expatriates found guilty of such violations face immediate deportation, while Kuwaiti citizens involved are referred to the judiciary for prosecution.
