Three-Generation Kuwaiti Citizenship Scam Exposed After Arrest Of Suspect With Massive Drug Haul

KUWAIT CITY, July 3: In a case that has shocked both security and civil authorities in Kuwait, the arrest of a man caught red-handed with one million Captagon pills has unraveled a complex web of forged citizenship spanning three generations. The case reveals not only a deep-rooted fraud network but also political interference that allowed a fake identity to be maintained for decades. Caught in the Act The suspect, believed to be a Kuwaiti citizen, was arrested by the Anti-Narcotics Department during a sting operation a few days back. Acting on a warrant from the Public Prosecution, officers apprehended him while he was delivering narcotics. The man was driving a vehicle with Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) license plates, raising immediate suspicion about his identity. A search of the vehicle uncovered one million Captagon tablets, a Gulf passport, and a GCC ID card—both bearing his photo but under a different name than the one recorded on Kuwaiti documents. (Click here to know more details) A Trail of Forgery A joint investigation by the Nationality Investigation Department and the Drug Control Department revealed that the suspect had obtained Kuwaiti citizenship through fraudulent means. He confessed to paying KD 15,000 to a Gulf intermediary who worked in collaboration with a Kuwaiti citizen. This citizen used an old file linked to a deceased individual to register the suspect as his son. The suspect entered Kuwait in 2013 under this forged identity. Investigators later discovered that the civil ID number on the suspect's documents matched that of a deceased person whose death had never been officially recorded in Kuwait. The suspect had merely replaced the deceased's photograph with his own, allowing him to use the identity undetected for years. The 'Father' Doesn't Recognize the Son On the same day of the suspect's arrest, authorities raided the home of the man listed as his father. During interrogation, the alleged father admitted that the suspect was not his son. In a telling moment, investigators placed both men in the same room—neither recognized the other. A third party, the intermediary, had arranged the entire scheme. Criminal Charges and Expanding Investigation The drug suspect has been referred to the Public Prosecution on charges of narcotics trafficking and forging official documents. The so-called father was also referred to the prosecution for falsifying his nationality file by adding a fake son. Further investigations are now focused on the deceased individual whose civil ID was exploited. Authorities are working to determine whether he was the real son of the alleged father or another fabricated identity within the same web of deception. A Fraud That Spans Generations The case has revealed disturbing links to an earlier investigation from 1994. At that time, the suspect's "father" and "grandfather" were both arrested in possession of Gulf identity documents, including a Gulf passport and national ID. They were referred to the Capital Investigations Department, and a file was opened under suspicion of nationality fraud. However, no conclusive action was taken between 1994 and 2001. Parliamentary Meddling and Reinstated Citizenship Despite the pending investigation, parliamentary intervention stalled any definitive action. The Ministry of Interior had referred the file to the Supreme Committee for Nationality, recommending revocation of their Kuwaiti citizenship under the Nationality Law. However, pressure from members of the National Assembly resulted in the issuance of Kuwaiti passports to their children. In 2002, the Council of Ministers eventually issued a decision to revoke the nationality of both the father and grandfather. Yet in 2003, they submitted a plea for mercy through parliamentarians. Their Kuwaiti citizenship was restored in 2005 after intense political lobbying. Document Discrepancies Confirm the Fraud A forensic review of identity records showed major inconsistencies. The names listed on the Gulf ID cards did not match those on the Kuwaiti IDs for either the father or the grandfather. This confirms that the family link as recorded in Kuwaiti civil documents was fabricated. Revoking Citizenship and Unraveling the Network The Supreme Committee for Nationality has now moved to revoke the suspect's Kuwaiti citizenship as an initial step. Investigations are ongoing into the roles of the father and grandfather, both of whom are suspected of establishing and perpetuating a false lineage that enabled multiple individuals to illegally obtain Kuwaiti nationality. Authorities are also reviewing witness testimonies previously submitted in support of the fraudulent family links. Several statements are now confirmed to have been fabricated. A Violent Past Adding to the gravity of the case, officials revealed that the suspect's 'father' was once charged in 1994 with illegal possession of a Kalashnikov rifle. Although he served 18 months in prison, the citizenship fraud case connected to him was never pursued at the time, again highlighting the pattern of neglect and possible interference that enabled the long-term deception. Ongoing Investigations Authorities are now re-examining all linked nationality files, aiming to dismantle the broader network and prevent further abuse of Kuwait's citizenship system. The case serves as a stark reminder of the critical need for strict enforcement, thorough background checks, and a firewall against political interference in matters of national identity.

Starlink-equipped drone narco-sub seized in Colombia

BOGOTÁ, Colombia: The Colombian navy on Wednesday announced its first seizure of an unmanned narco-submarine equipped with a Starlink antenna off its Caribbean coast. The vessel was not carrying drugs, but the Colombian navy and Western security sources based in the region told AFP they believed it was a trial run by a cocaine trafficking cartel. 'It was being tested and was empty,' a naval spokeswoman confirmed to AFP. Manned semi-submersibles built in clandestine jungle shipyards have been used for decades to ferry cocaine north from Colombia, the world's biggest cocaine producer, to Central America or Mexico. But in recent years, they have been sailing much further afield, crossing the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. The latest find, announced by Admiral Juan Ricardo Rozo at a press conference, is the first reported discovery in South American waters of a drone narco-submarine. The navy said it was owned by the Gulf Clan, Colombia's largest drug trafficking group and had the capacity to transport 1.5 tons of cocaine. A video released by the navy showed a small grey vessel with a satellite antenna on the bow. This is not the first time a Starlink antenna has been used at sea by suspected drug traffickers. In November, Indian police seized a giant consignment of meth worth $4.25 billion in a vessel steered remotely by Starlink near the remote Andaman and Nicobar Islands. It was the first known discovery of a narco-submarine operated by Starlink. Cocaine production, seizures and use all hit record highs in 2023, the UN drug agency said last month. In Colombia, production has reached record levels, fuelled by surging global demand. Rozo said the use of autonomous subs reflected the traffickers 'migration toward more sophisticated unmanned systems' which are hard to detect at sea, 'difficult to track by radar and even allow criminal networks to operate with partial autonomy.' Juana Cabezas, a researcher at Colombia's Institute for Development and Peace Studies, told AFP that powerful Mexican drug cartels, who operate in Colombia, 'hired technology experts and engineers to develop an unmanned submarine' as far back as 2017. She pointed out that drone vessels made it harder for the authorities to pinpoint the drug lords behind the shipments. 'Removing the crew eliminates the risk of captured operators cooperating with authorities,' agreed Henry Shuldiner, an investigator for the US-based InSight Crime think tank, who co-authored a report on the rise of narco-subs. Shuldiner also highlighted the challenge of assembling crews to sail makeshift subs described as floating 'coffins.' A near record number of the low-profile vessels were intercepted in the Atlantic and Pacific in 2024, according to the report. In November last year, five tons of Colombian cocaine were found on a semi-submersible en route to faraway Australia. Colombian law punishes the use, construction, marketing, possession, and transportation of semi-submersibles with penalties of up to 14 years in prison. — AFP
