Kuwaiti Convicted Of Using a Fake High School Diploma To Secure Govt Job

KUWAIT CITY, July 1: The Court of Cassation has sentenced a Kuwaiti citizen employed by a government public sector to seven years in prison and fined him KD 143,000 after finding him guilty of forging an academic certificate and unlawfully receiving public funds.

The case involved the defendant submitting a forged high school diploma, allegedly issued by a school in a Gulf country, which he used to obtain employment in the public sector. Authorities later discovered the forgery, leading to his referral to trial and subsequent conviction for document falsification and receiving salaries without legal entitlement.
