KUWAIT CITY, May 14: A complex and long-buried case of Kuwaiti citizenship forgery has resurfaced, revealing that a warning issued over five decades ago by Captain Abdullah Al-Tayyar was both accurate and ahead of its time. Informed sources told that the case, which has gained renewed attention on social media, involves four individuals falsely registered as the sons of a deceased Kuwaiti citizen.

Investigations by the Nationality Investigations Department, in coordination with archival records, confirmed that in 1971, Captain Al-Tayyar received a tip indicating that the four individuals were not biological sons of the Kuwaiti citizen under whose name they were registered. During that period, Al-Tayyar conducted extensive inquiries, including interviews and workplace visits, which revealed that at least one of the alleged sons was of Iraqi origin and employed in a glass shop in Hawalli. Despite clear contradictions in the citizen's testimony, authorities at the time closed the case without further action.

Now, decades later, the Supreme Committee for Nationality has reopened the file, prompted by genetic testing and renewed scrutiny. The biological children of the deceased citizen, when confronted, acknowledged no contact with the four forged individuals and consented to DNA testing. The results confirmed no familial connection. Further analysis found that one of the forgers, now deceased, was linked to 37 individuals, most of them Iraqis, including a well-known social media personality who has since left the country.

Authorities are now working to complete investigations into the remaining files, using conclusive scientific evidence to identify and revoke fraudulent citizenship. Sources emphasized that the work and foresight of Captain Abdullah Al-Tayyar have become an invaluable reference point in the government’s ongoing effort to root out forged nationalities.

The Nationality Investigations Department reiterated its commitment to following all leads, regardless of age or origin, and affirmed that no forgery will be allowed to stand in the face of scientific verification and justice.
