KUWAIT CITY, Sept 30: An unidentified bank is said to have filed a complaint with the Public Prosecution in the so-called “millions of dinars deposit case” concerning the wives of two MPs whose identities have not been disclosed, reports Al-Watan Arabic daily.
According to the daily KD 400,000 each has been deposited into the accounts of the two women.
The bank has reportedly asked the Public Prosecution to verify the source of the money. The daily added the two women’s husbands had earlier been referred to the prosecution when it was discovered their bank balances had suddenly swelled.
The daily quoting reliable sources said the same bank has referred details of accounts of six people to the Public Prosecution on the same issue - four of them are parliamentarians and two women (the wives of two of the MPs).

Details
The daily added according to the complaint filed by the bank with the Public Prosecution, a total of KD 7.24 million is said to have been deposited into the account of the four MPs. The daily added the bank details of another MP also have been referred to the Public Prosecution in whose account KD 1 million has been deposited from an unidentified source.
The source pointed out yet another bank has referred details of accounts of a batch of MPs to the Public Prosecution on suspicion on the same charge. The source also said earlier the same bank had done the same with five MPs.
Meanwhile, the source denied a report which had said that the details of account of an MP from the third constituency had been referred to the Public Prosecution. The MP denied the accusation and claimed he does not have an account with a bank. He has also reportedly submitted a document to prove his claim.

Pressure
Some opportunists are reportedly putting pressure on the banks to disclose the names of MPs who are involved in the so-called “millions of dinars” money laundering, reports Alam Alyawm daily.
The daily added 13 MPs are reportedly involved in the “scandal” most of them believed to be the so-called “opposition” MPs. The sources say this is done to tarnish the image of the opposition. The sources added some of the opposition MPs have in their accounts between KD 10,000 and KD 20,000 and one of the big banks in Kuwait is under pressure to refer their accounts to the Public Prosecution along with those who are involved in the millions of dinars scam.
The opportunists were recently quoted as saying “refer any MP to the Public Prosecution who has more than KD 10,000 in his/her bank account.”
The sources added one of the banks has reportedly refused to bow to pressure considering the amount in the account is “small”.
The bank says only accounts of MPs which have suddenly inflated will be referred to the prosecution.

Clean
Following accusations against several MPs that large sums of “illegal” money have been deposited into their accounts, MP Dr Daifullah Buramiya held a press conference to prove his hands are clean of dirty money, reports Al-Rai daily.
However, when during a press conference it was pointed out that KD 200,000 had been deposited into his bank account a few days before the grilling of First Deputy Premier and Minister of Defence Sheikh Jaber Al-Mubarak the parliamentarian refused to talk about the issue.
During the press conference which was held last week at the Parliament the MP is said to have distributed to reporters a summary of his bank account but refused to take questions from them.
According to the summary of the bank account, MP Buramiya had only KD 1,000 on April 2, 2008 but did not exceed KD 11,000 and on May 19 of the same year it was precisely KD 1,969.
Between these periods his accounts saw only three deposit transactions — KD 10,000, KD 3,000 and another KD 3,000. During this time he has also withdrawn money 14 times.
From May 19, 2008, the account of Buramiya did not record any transaction until Nov 8, 2009, but on Nov 23, 2009 KD 190,000 had been deposited into his account.
