KUWAIT CITY, July 24: A Kuwaiti man accused of real estate fraud in Turkey has had his citizenship officially revoked, authorities confirmed this week, following revelations that he had used a forged identity and falsified nationality documents in his overseas dealings.

The story began circulating on social media after a photo of the suspect’s Kuwaiti ID card went viral, prompting speculation and public outrage. However, well-informed sources revealed that the man’s file had already been submitted weeks earlier to the Supreme Committee for Citizenship Investigation and thoroughly examined before the photo even emerged online.

“The decision to revoke his Kuwaiti citizenship had already been made,” a source confirmed, “following full legal procedures and a comprehensive review of his fraudulent activities abroad.” The individual is said to have manipulated his identity during foreign travel and business transactions, which played a significant role in the decision.

All formal steps have been completed, sources added, and his name is now awaiting inclusion in one of the official decrees that periodically announce citizenship revocations in Kuwait’s Official Gazette.

In a separate but equally alarming case, Kuwaiti authorities have uncovered another citizenship forgery, this time involving a man who reportedly holds dual citizenship, with official papers issued by Kuwait and a Gulf country.

According to confidential reports submitted to the Nationality Investigation Department, the suspect's travel patterns raised red flags: he spent significantly more time outside Kuwait than within, casting doubt on the legitimacy of his citizenship.

A deep dive into his legal status triggered a DNA test, comparing the man’s genetic profile with that of his so-called father as registered in Kuwait’s official records. The results were damning; there was no biological relationship between the two.

The shocking discovery confirmed suspicions that the individual had fraudulently obtained Kuwaiti nationality. As a result, his citizenship was revoked, as well as that of his sole dependent—a son—who had also benefited from the falsified lineage.

These revelations form part of an ongoing nationwide effort by Kuwait to tighten controls on citizenship fraud, amid growing concerns over identity manipulation and abuse of state benefits. Officials have reaffirmed their commitment to upholding the integrity of Kuwaiti nationality laws, stating that any individual found guilty of forging identity or family ties will face legal consequences and full revocation of citizenship rights.
