Hefty fine for trio in Kuwaiti citizen assault
KUWAIT CITY, July 3: A long-running legal battle stemming from a violent incident at the Salmi border has concluded, with three officers paying KD45,000 in compensation to a citizen they assaulted in front of his family. The case, which was first reported by the daily in October 2020, involved a physical altercation between the citizen and the officers at the border checkpoint. The Court of Appeals had earlier issued a final criminal ruling, fining the defendants.

Egyptian School Guard In Kuwait Sentenced To Death For Raping Egyptian Teacher
KUWAIT CITY, June 30: The Court of Cassation has upheld the death sentence handed down to an Egyptian school guard convicted of kidnapping, assaulting, and unlawfully detaining an Egyptian female teacher inside the art room of a school in the Ahmadi Governorate. The incident occurred when the guard forcibly took the teacher into the art studio, inside school premises, physically restrained her, and taped her mouth shut to prevent her from screaming. He then assaulted her at knifepoint. Both the Criminal Court and the Court of Appeals had previously sentenced the man to death by hanging, based on strong evidence and medical reports that confirmed the assault. In its ruling, the Criminal Court emphasized that the crime took place in what should have been a secure environment, describing the act as a severe breach of trust and a blatant violation of human dignity, warranting the harshest possible punishment.

Saudi Man Jailed For 7 Years For Forging Kuwaiti Citizenship
KUWAIT CITY, June 28: The Criminal Court sentenced a Saudi national to seven years in prison with hard labor and fined him KD336,000 for forging a naturalization application in collaboration with a Kuwaiti citizen by claiming to be his 'biological son', which enabled him to obtain Kuwaiti citizenship and later be appointed to the Ministry of Defense with the rank of sergeant. The ruling stated that the defendant was arrested at Salmi border, while attempting to flee. A Saudi identification card and a Kuwaiti civil identification card were found in his possession. It was later determined that he tried to leave the country to evade financial obligations and bank loans. The court imposed seven-year prison sentence on the fugitive Kuwaiti citizen and his Saudi father, after it was proven that they were involved in the forgery. The court confirmed in its ruling that the defendants made a blatant attack on national identity and tampered with official documents which affected sovereignty, stressing the seriousness of this type of crime in undermining confidence in State institutions.
