  • 23/06/2024

The judge overseeing the extension of detention has denied the plea to release the accused in the major money laundering case, which involves 27 individuals, including six Kuwaiti nationals. The decision was made to prolong their detention for 14 days while further investigations are conducted. During the last court session, the accused - six Kuwaitis, eight Syrians, 12 Egyptians, and one Lebanese - refuted all allegations. According to the case documents, the accused collaborated to create a criminal network that facilitated the laundering of over KD120 million in a brief period. The funds were illicitly transferred through local banking systems to conceal their origin and evade detection.
