KUWAIT CITY, Feb 28: The Criminal Court has handed down a two-year prison sentence with hard labor to a Kuwaiti citizen found guilty of forgery and misappropriation of funds belonging to another individual.
The case unfolded after the complainant reported leaving her debit card in the defendant's vehicle, only to discover the next day that approximately 700 dinars had been deducted from her account without her authorization.
Abdul Rahman Al-Muqaddam, the complainant's lawyer, affirmed that police investigations provided evidence of the crime, supported by bank photographs showing the accused conducting the unauthorized debit transactions. Additionally, the presenting lawyer emphasized that familial ties do not serve as grounds for exemption from penalties for committing violations or crimes against relatives under the law.
