KUWAIT CITY, May 28: In a continued crackdown on financial crimes, the Financial Crimes Combating Department of Kuwait’s Criminal Security Sector has arrested a Nepalese national accused of involvement in a sophisticated bank fraud operation. The suspect was wanted in connection with two cases — No. 2253/2024 and No. 2234/2024 — both related to banking fraud.

Authorities uncovered the scam after discovering that the suspect had been purchasing bank cards and SIM cards from individuals within his community. During a precautionary search, officers seized eight bank cards and four SIM cards from his possession. Upon interrogation, he confessed to possessing additional items at his residence. A subsequent search led to the confiscation of 12 more bank cards, 16 SIM cards, and a number of bank documents and blank SIM cards. The suspect admitted that he supplied these cards to an accomplice who shipped them abroad for use in fraudulent schemes aimed at stealing money from unsuspecting victims.

The accused has been referred to the Public Prosecution, and legal action is underway. Investigations are being expanded, and authorities are coordinating with international counterparts to identify and apprehend additional suspects involved in the operation.

KUWAIT CITY, May 29: The Misdemeanor Court acquitted a Kuwaiti citizen of preventing his exwife, who was convicted of adultery, from seeing her minor daughters and the court declared her guilty of endangering their lives, causing them psychological harm and neglecting them. Attorney Zaid Al-Khabbaz, who appeared with the citizen in court, requested his client’s acquittal.

His client denied the accusation, clarifying that his client prevented the complainant from seeing his children because she was accused of adultery, which she had admitted. He also stated that he feared for his daughters’ safety due to the behavior of the complainant. The court confirmed in its reasoning that the citizen did not prevent his daughters from seeing their mother due to his own whims, but rather out of fear that they would follow their mother’s shameful and ugly behavior.

The court stated that the Child Protection Office report included numerous expressions from which the court inferred the girls’ hatred and loathing for their mother who was setting a bad example for her daughters. The court feared that if the accused was punished, the complainant would be able to see the girls; something that should not happen in light of her shameful and ugly behavior, from which the girls should be kept safe.
