KUWAIT CITY, Jan 17: The Misdemeanor Circuit of the Court of First Instance acquitted three individuals who were accused of dishonesty and confiscation of the contents of a café owned by a citizen.

During investigations, the victim said he established a café and a restaurant based on a fifty-fifty partnership with the first suspect. Due to loss incurred, the first suspect found new partners but the café had eventually closed and the first suspect confiscated the contents of the café and the restaurant and kept them for his use.

Lawyer Ali Al-Wawan, who represented the three defendants at the court, said the investigations were based only on the claims of the plaintiff without any witnesses or any evidences to support the claims. He affirmed that none of the contents of the café and restaurant were found in the possession of his clients, adding that they have been denying the accusations since the start of investigations.
