KUWAIT CITY, Aug 13: The International Criminal Police Department (INTERPOL) has added the name and picture of a 28-year-old Kuwaiti citizen to the internationally wanted list based on a US court ruling that convicted him of being involved in child pornography.

According to an informed source, the Kuwait Interpol Office was notified by its international counterpart regarding the need to arrest the citizen, as he is wanted by the American judicial authorities. Investigations are underway to determine whether or not he is in the country in preparation for taking necessary measures in accordance with the international agreements signed by the country, including the security cooperation agreement signed with the INTERPOL.

The source explained that the arrest warrant for the wanted Kuwaiti citizen was issued after he was convicted of two crimes in the United States of America, the first for “receiving and distributing child pornography” and second of “possession of child pornography” as well as two “kiddy porn” charges, all of which are punishable by the American Penal Code, as it affirms the need to protect children from any kind of exploitation.
