Kuwaiti Man Dead Drunk, Insults Cops, Resists Arrest

Published

on

KUWAIT CITY, July 18: A 40-year-old Kuwaiti citizen has been detained at the Hawally Police Station on multiple charges, including driving under the influence of alcohol and insulting a public employee while on duty. He has been referred to the forensic evidence department for testing to determine whether his impaired state was solely due to alcohol or if narcotics were also involved.

According to the incident report filed yesterday, two officers from the Hawally Police Station were on patrol when they noticed a vehicle swerving erratically, raising suspicion and concern. The officers activated their patrol lights and signaled the driver to pull over. Although the driver initially ignored the command, he eventually complied.

When one of the officers requested the driver’s identification, the suspect responded mockingly, shouting, “Come on, come on, I’ll crush your head.” He refused to exit the vehicle, and officers noted that his breath indicated he was under the influence. Upon being forcibly removed from the car, the man physically resisted, pushing both officers and striking one of them. Authorities noted that the individual exhibited violent behavior throughout the arrest.

The Public Prosecution accused them of issuing fake licenses to recruit 382 workers under the names of 28 non-existent companies, charging between KD 800 and 1,000 per worker. Investigations revealed that some employees at the Public Authority for Manpower accepted bribes of KD 200 to 250 per worker to facilitate issuing these licenses.

Kuwaiti Fined KD 10,000 for Insulting Kuwaiti Society in Viral Video

KUWAIT CITY, Oct 1: The Criminal Court fined a citizen, identified only as “A. M.”, KD 10,000 for insulting a segment of society. The Public Prosecution charged the defendant with insulting a segment of Kuwaiti society through a video clip that went viral on social media. The defendant denied the charges. Also, the Criminal Court imposed a fine of KD 50,000 on Dr. Abdul Mutalib Behbehani for inciting sectarian strife through posts he uploaded on his X account that contained statements the court deemed likely to undermine national unity and harm the social fabric. The Misdemeanor Court of Cassation overturned the verdict issued by the Misdemeanor Court of Appeal, which sentenced two brothers to two years in prison with hard labor on charges of alcohol trafficking. The ruling was deemed invalid because the Court of Appeal adjudicated the case directly without referring it back to the Court of First Instance, violating the principle of two-stage litigation. The Misdemeanor Court initially ruled that it lacked subject-matter jurisdiction over the misdemeanor of alcohol trafficking and referred the case to the Criminal Court, considering it a case of recidivism. However, the Court of Appeal ruled that it had jurisdiction and proceeded to hear the case, ultimately issuing the prison sentence.
