In one of the largest financial crime cases of 2024, the Criminal Court in Kuwait, led by Counselor Al-Dhuwaihi Al-Dhuwaihi, has sentenced 19 defendants to various prison terms and imposed a total fine of KWD 510 million.
The case revolved around an organized criminal group accused of laundering KWD 255 million obtained through illegal means such as forgery, fraud, customs smuggling, and violations of trade laws. These actions were deemed harmful to Kuwait’s national interests.
While 19 individuals received sentences, several other defendants were acquitted of the money laundering charges. The verdict marks a major step in the country's efforts to combat financial crimes and protect its economic security.
