KUWAIT CITY, May 14:  An investigator at the Hawally Police Station has ordered to placement an expatriate on the wanted list and imposed a travel ban, following a citizen’s complaint of being defrauded of KD 11,000. The decision was made after the complainant reported that the accused not only refused to return the money but also blocked all forms of communication.

According to a security source, the case has been classified as a “breach of trust.” The victim, a Kuwaiti citizen born in 1956, told police that he met the expatriate, born in 1974, who persuaded him to invest in what he claimed was a highly profitable auction business. The complainant stated, “I believed in him, especially when he claimed that the investment would double within a year. On February 9, I gave him KD 7,000 in cash and two Rolex watches valued at KD 4,000.”

However, the promised profits never materialized. “Weeks and months passed with no return on the investment. When I contacted him, he gave me a small sum of money and then disappeared, cutting off all communication and blocking my number,” the victim added. Authorities continue their investigation, while steps are being taken to prevent the accused from leaving the country.
