High-Value Drug Seizure In Kuwait Leads To Arrest Of Afghan National
KUWAIT CITY, July 3: Under the supervision of His Excellency the First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior, Sheikh Fahd Yousef Saud Al-Sabah, security forces successfully seized a significant quantity of shabu and heroin during an attempted sea smuggling operation. This was the result of a coordinated effort between the Ministry of Interior of the State of Kuwait and the Ministry of Interior of the United Arab Emirates. The seizure included approximately 100 kilograms of crystal meth and 10 kilograms of heroin, with an estimated value of 1,150,000 Kuwaiti dinars. The operation was based on precise security intelligence obtained through joint cooperation, which revealed the arrival of a sea container carrying narcotics as part of an international organized crime network. A detailed security plan was implemented to track the container and apprehend those responsible. In coordination with the General Administration of Customs, the container was permitted to leave Shuwaikh Port but was closely monitored until its recipient, an Afghan national, was caught red-handed in the Amghara area. The General Fire Force also assisted by safely opening and handling the container while maintaining strict security measures and protecting all personnel involved. His Excellency Sheikh Fahd Yousef Saud Al-Sabah expressed his sincere gratitude to Lieutenant General His Highness Sheikh Saif bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior of the UAE, for the invaluable cooperation and intelligence support that led to the success of the operation. He highlighted the strong fraternal ties between Kuwait and the UAE and emphasized the importance of continued security coordination and information sharing in the fight against organized crime. His Excellency reaffirmed the Ministry of Interior's ongoing commitment to combating drug trafficking through enhanced cooperation with local and international partners, aiming to safeguard the homeland and ensure the safety and security of society.

PACI Employee Arrested for Accepting Bribes to Alter Addresses
KUWAIT CITY, June 3: In a major anti-corruption crackdown, the Ministry of Interior has arrested an employee of the Public Authority for Civil Information (PACI) on charges of forging official documents and accepting bribes. The arrest was carried out by the Criminal Security Sector, represented by the General Department of Criminal Investigation's Anti-Financial Crimes Department, as part of ongoing efforts to root out corruption and fraud within public institutions. According to informed security sources, the case began following intelligence reports and close coordination between the Ministry and officials at PACI. The investigation revealed that the employee had exploited his official access to PACI's internal electronic system to unlawfully alter and transfer the residential addresses of individuals without their physical presence or the submission of legally required documentation—actions in clear violation of existing protocols and regulations. Authorities said the accused was accepting payments of 120 Kuwaiti dinars for each illegal address change. In total, he is suspected of facilitating over 5,000 such fraudulent transactions since the beginning of the current year. These were reportedly carried out in coordination with a network of brokers operating both within and outside Kuwait. As part of the investigation, two brokers were taken into custody along with seven individuals who admitted to paying bribes to expedite their transactions. It was further discovered that the accused had used the illicit profits to purchase luxury goods, including gold bars, jewelry, and other high-value items, in an attempt to launder the funds and obscure their illegal origins. The suspect, along with the seized evidence, has been referred to the Public Prosecution Office for further legal action. Officials stressed that the Ministry of Interior remains committed to pursuing and prosecuting all forms of financial and administrative corruption to preserve the integrity of state institutions and uphold the rule of law.

Mother Wins Legal Battle Against Ungrateful Daughter Over Car Gift
KUWAIT CITY, Jul 2: The Commercial Court of Appeal has ruled in favor of a Kuwaiti mother, ordering her daughter to return a sum of KD 9,800. The amount, initially given as a financial gift to help the daughter purchase a car, was later revoked by the mother due to what the court described as "gross ingratitude." Attorney Nasser Al-Farhoud brought the case forward on behalf of the mother. In his legal filing, Al-Farhoud requested the court to officially recognize the revocation of the gift and declare the original transaction null and void. He also sought a court order compelling the daughter to repay the KD 9,800, which the mother had transferred directly from her personal bank account to the car dealership for the purchase of a vehicle registered in the daughter's name. As evidence, Al-Farhoud submitted the relevant bank statement, which showed the exact transfer of funds to the car company, confirming delivery of the vehicle to the daughter. Furthermore, he presented witness testimony from individuals who affirmed that the plaintiff was indeed the defendant's mother. They testified that the mother had willingly offered the money as a gift, following the daughter's request. At the time, the daughter was unemployed and financially unable to purchase the vehicle on her own. However, the situation deteriorated due to a series of personal disputes between the mother and daughter. The mother alleged that her daughter breached their familial trust and even physically assaulted her, which she viewed as a serious act of disrespect and betrayal. This behavior led the mother to rescind the financial gift. Attorney Al-Farhoud based his argument on Article 537 of the Kuwaiti Civil Code, which grants parents the legal right to revoke a gift made to their children. He also cited Article 538, which permits the cancellation of a gift if the recipient fails to honor their moral obligations toward the donor, particularly when the failure amounts to ingratitude. The court accepted the arguments and evidence presented. In its written judgment, the court stated that it was convinced by the witness statements and the documentation provided, and that there were no legal barriers under Article 539 of the Civil Code that would prevent the return of the gift. Notably, the court clarified that the exception protecting gifts made to "mahram" relatives (relatives one cannot marry under Islamic law) did not apply in this case. Ultimately, the court determined that the daughter's conduct amounted to a serious breach of filial duty and gratitude, thereby justifying the legal revocation of the gift. Accordingly, the court ordered the daughter to repay the full amount of KD 9,800 to her mother. This total includes the principal sum, case expenses, and the actual legal fees incurred.
