Kuwaiti Man Wanted in Four Financial Cases Apprehended After Ambush
KUWAIT CITY, July 13: The Capital Investigation Department successfully ended the evasion of a Kuwaiti citizen wanted in connection with four financial cases involving amounts exceeding one million Kuwaiti dinars. The suspect was arrested following a carefully planned operation that prevented any possibility of resistance. Authorities devised a strategic ambush where one of the department's patrol vehicles deliberately positioned itself behind the wanted individual's car, simulating a traffic delay. When the suspect stepped out of his vehicle (apparently to assist or investigate) the officers swiftly took him into custody and transferred him to the Investigation Department. According to a security source, the Capital Investigations Department had received intelligence that the wanted citizen was present at a diwaniya (social gathering place) in Farwaniya Governorate, accompanied by a relative. Acting promptly on this information, the department dispatched a specialized team to the location. The team tracked the suspect's vehicle and executed the arrest seamlessly without confrontation. The detainee was subsequently referred to the General Department for Implementation to proceed with the ongoing legal process. This successful operation highlights the proactive measures and coordination by Kuwait's law enforcement agencies in apprehending fugitives involved in significant financial crimes.

Kuwaiti Man in Fraud Scandal Over $460,000 Watch Deal
KUWAIT CITY, Jan 27: The Capital Investigations Department has referred a high-profile case of fraud and deception involving luxury watches worth $460,000 to the Public Prosecution after concluding investigations and hearing testimonies from the victim, a Kuwaiti citizen. According to the investigation report, a 45-year-old Kuwaiti citizen alleged that he entrusted another 33-year-old Kuwaiti citizen, with importing high-value watches by transferring $460,000 to a watch company through a bank account in an Arab country. However, the accused reportedly kept the watches for himself. Audio recordings of WhatsApp conversations between the two parties were reviewed as part of the evidence. The accused denied the allegations during questioning, claiming a business relationship with the complainant. He stated that he delivered the watches to the complainant's driver and was owed a 30,000-dinar commission, which he claimed was not paid. The complainant, however, rejected these claims and provided audio evidence suggesting the accused was stalling and had not delivered the goods. After reviewing all evidence and statements, investigators concluded that the accused had committed fraud and deception. The case has now been escalated for legal proceedings.
