KUWAIT CITY, May 28: The Criminal Court has sentenced the chairman of a cooperative society and the head of its purchasing department to two years in prison with hard labor after convicting them of accepting a bribe.
The duo was arrested in late 2024 during a sting operation, where they were caught receiving a bribe from a representative of a vegetable supply company. According to investigation records, the officials had demanded 10% of the company’s monthly vegetable sales revenue in return for allowing continued display and sale of its products within the cooperative. The company reported the extortion attempt to the Ministry of Interior, leading to a carefully coordinated ambush and the arrest of both suspects.
