KUWAIT CITY, May 8 — The Airport Security Department has referred a Kuwaiti citizen to the General Department for Drug Control after he was deported from Thailand on charges related to drug possession, according to security sources.
The Kuwaiti man, born in 1964, was reportedly arrested by Thai authorities in Bangkok for possession of narcotics intended for personal use. Following his arrest, Thai officials deported him aboard a Kuwait Airways flight and informed Kuwaiti airport authorities of the case.
Upon his arrival in Kuwait, the individual was handed over to the relevant drug control unit for further investigation. Sources added that his passport has been confiscated and a full report on the incident will be prepared. It is expected that, pending the outcome of the investigation, a ministerial decision could result in the passport being withheld for up to three years.
