Three Fake ‘Sons' Exposed in Kuwaiti Citizenship Fraud
KUWAIT CITY, July 3: In a continued crackdown on nationality fraud, Kuwait's Nationality Investigation Department has uncovered a new case involving three individuals falsely registered as Kuwaiti citizens, traced back to a 2017 forgery case that initially led to the arrest of a Syrian national. From 2017 Arrest to 2024 Revelations The original case dates back to 2017, when a Syrian national was arrested after being found to have fraudulently obtained Kuwaiti citizenship by falsely claiming kinship with a Kuwaiti citizen. Both men were prosecuted at the time. According to informed sources, the Kuwaiti accomplice was arrested again in 2022 to serve a seven-year prison sentence. He is currently incarcerated at Kuwait's Central Prison. Routine Review Uncovers Anomalies As part of the Nationality Investigation Department's standard protocol to re-examine all nationality files tied to forgery cases, officials conducted a DNA audit on individuals listed as the prisoner's children. The goal was to verify their biological link and detect any potential additions made through fraudulent means. Three Sons Not Biologically Related The investigation revealed that DNA samples from three individuals listed as the man's sons (already on file due to prior legal interactions) had not previously been cross-verified. When matched against the imprisoned father's DNA, none of the three were found to be biologically related to him. Father Admits the Truth in Prison Detectives visited the Central Prison to confront the man with the DNA evidence. When presented with the findings, he confessed: 'The three are not my sons.' He explained that he had not previously disclosed this because investigators had never specifically questioned him about these individuals during earlier interrogations, so he chose to remain silent. Suspects Fled Amid Crackdown The three individuals were found to have fled Kuwait in 2024, a year which First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior Sheikh Fahad Al-Yousef notably described as 'the year of the scam' due to a wave of forgers escaping the country amid a tightening of citizenship verification procedures. Citizenship Revoked Following a detailed review, the Supreme Nationality Committee has officially revoked the Kuwaiti citizenship of the three individuals. Investigations revealed that they were part of a larger network, linked to at least 12 other individuals who had also fraudulently obtained Kuwaiti nationality. Authorities continue to scrutinize related files as part of a wider effort to preserve the integrity of Kuwait's citizenship records and bring all offenders to justice.

Kuwait Cabinet approves civil aviation body rebrand
KUWAIT CITY, July 2: The Kuwaiti Cabinet on Tuesday approved a draft decree-law renaming Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) as 'Public Authority for Civil Aviation'. The move was decided during the Cabinet's customary weekly meeting, held at Bayan Palace under the chairmanship of His Highness the Prime Minister Sheikh Ahmad Abdullah Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah. It reflects the Kuwaiti government's realization of the dire need for a modern and integrated piece of legislation to regulate the country's civil aviation, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of State for Cabinet Affairs Shereeda Al-Mousherji said in a press statement following the meeting. This fresh legislation, the minister maintained, would ensure this vital sector's required resilience to cope with global advancements in this domain. It is also deemed one of the main requirements of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and prime determinant for licensing airports and air navigation facilities, the minister explained. The Cabinet decided to refer the draft decree-law to His Highness the Amir Sheikh Meshal Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al- Sabah for final approval. At the onset of its weekly meeting, the Cabinet was apprised of letters addressed to His Highness the Amir from leaders of some sisterly and friendly countries regarding aspects of joint cooperation covering various domains. The Cabinet, then, approved a draft decree-law replacing Article (58 bis) of Law No. (31)/1970 amending some provisions of Penal Code No. (16)/1960, which stipulates that any civil servant who deliberately declines to implement a court ruling after 90 days of notification shall be punished with imprisonment for two years and a fine of KD 3,000-KD20,000 or by either. Recommendations made by the ministerial committee of legal affairs regarding draft laws, agreements and MoUs between Kuwait and sisterly and friendly countries were also given the thumbs up during the meeting. Finally, the Cabinet mourned former minister of information Dr. Bader Al-Yaqoub, who passed away earlier in the day, remembering the efforts and achievements he had made during his ministerial career.
