Forgery Lands Expat Jail Time and Double Fine in Kuwait

KUWAIT CITY, July 14: The Court of Cassation, presided over by Counselor Abdullah Jassim Al-Abdullah, upheld the Court of Appeal’s decision sentencing an expatriate employee to seven years in prison with hard labor. The employee, who worked for a company, was found guilty of embezzling KWD 29,000 through forged entry tickets. In addition to the prison sentence, he was dismissed from his job, fined KWD 89,000—which is double the embezzled amount—and ordered to repay the stolen sum.
