KUWAIT CITY, May 24:The Court of Cassation overturned the seven-year prison sentence imposed on a traffic officer accused of unlawfully transferring vehicle ownership without the presence of the original owners. Instead of upholding the sentence, the court decided to refrain from pronouncing punishment and then required the officer to maintain good conduct.
In the same case, the court also ruled to abstain from punishing several employees involved in the case. All were ordered to pay a bail of KD500 and adhere to good conduct conditions for one year. Earlier, the Public Prosecution referred the accused to court on charges of forgery, alleging they facilitated the transfer of vehicle ownership to third parties without the presence or authorization of the actual owners.
