Flash Memory Uncovers Expat’s Lie in KD 15,000 Fraud Case

KUWAIT CITY, Sep 18: Investigations by the Criminal Security Sector, led by Major General Hamed Al-Dawas, revealed that an expatriate's denial of defrauding a Kuwaiti citizen of KD 15,000 was entirely false. It was confirmed that the expatriate had indeed received the money, with proof found on a flash drive.

The case began when a 51-year-old Kuwaiti citizen, filed a report at Hawally Square Police Station. He claimed that a 55-year-old expatriate had convinced him to invest in a vehicle trading venture that promised substantial profits. The citizen handed over KD 15,000 and provided a flash drive as evidence of the exchange.

A source stated that the case, titled "Breach of Trust," was registered under No. 290/2024 Misdemeanor Hawalli Square and referred to the Hawalli Square and Al-Shaab Investigations Departments.

The accused was summoned for questioning and initially denied receiving any money or involvement in car trading. However, when confronted with the flash drive's contents, he fell silent. The investigation concluded that the expatriate had lied in his denial and had indeed defrauded the citizen of KD 15,000.
