Kuwait City: A criminal court has heard the statement of a state security official against seven expatriates accused of financing more than 60 million Kuwaiti dinars in terrorist activities in Iraq and Syria. Three Jordanians, two Iranians and two Egyptians have been named in the case. According to the public prosecution, the accused formed an organized criminal group between 7/1/2019 and 10/10/2021. 


He also laundered more than $ 60 million obtained from two crimes. The prosecution said the accused had acted in a manner that was detrimental to the national interest of the country and a deliberate violation of precautionary measures. The first and second defendants illegally collected Kuwaiti dinars from others through an exchange agency on the instructions of the seventh defendant and handed them over to the third and fourth defendants. It was then deposited in the bank account of a commercial company. The prosecution alleges that the rest of the accused provided the necessary assistance.
