KUWAIT CITY, Feb 8: Security-men arrested two Egyptian expatriates who allegedly got 180 visit visas issued using details of a fake company.
The case came to light when an Egyptian man filed a police complaint accusing the two of cheating him. He alleged that the accused promised to get him residence and work permit once he came to Kuwait and sent him a visit visa on paying KD 1, 000. He alleged that the men disappeared after he entered the country and that he is penniless now.
Sources say Immigration Department officials increased their vigilance and caught the miscreants in their act. During interrogation, they reportedly confessed to getting 180 visit visas issued to their compatriots.
Securitymen are trying to arrest all those involved in this operation. The Interior Ministry is taking the case very seriously as it is determined to stop trafficking in humans, say sources.
