Detention Extended for Kuwaiti and Six Egyptians

KUWAIT CITY, Oct 23: The detention renewal judge ordered the continued detention of a Kuwaiti citizen and six Egyptian expatriates on charges of forming a gang involved in illegal money transfers. The arrests followed a well-planned operation by the General Department for Combating Terrorism and Money Laundering, in cooperation with the Criminal Investigation Department. An intensive investigation, which involved tracking funds flowing both domestically and internationally, revealed the defendants’ involvement in managing an illegal financial network in coordination with several merchants in friendly countries.
