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.

KUWAIT CITY, May 28: The Criminal Court has sentenced the chairman of a cooperative society and the head of its purchasing department to two years in prison with hard labor after convicting them of accepting a bribe.

The duo was arrested in late 2024 during a sting operation, where they were caught receiving a bribe from a representative of a vegetable supply company. According to investigation records, the officials had demanded 10% of the company’s monthly vegetable sales revenue in return for allowing continued display and sale of its products within the cooperative. The company reported the extortion attempt to the Ministry of Interior, leading to a carefully coordinated ambush and the arrest of both suspects.
