Kuwaiti Gets 5 Years for Attempting to Sneak Out Revoked Citizens

KUWAIT CITY, July 27: The Criminal Court, presided over by Judge Al-Dhuwaihi, has sentenced a Kuwaiti citizen to five years in prison for attempting to smuggle individuals whose citizenships had been revoked.

Additionally, the court handed down three-year prison sentences to several accomplices, including a corporal stationed at the Nuwaiseeb border crossing, his brother, and a stateless individual, for falsifying entry and exit documents.

Meanwhile, the court chose not to impose penalties on three others (a man, a juvenile, and a woman) whose citizenships had also been revoked. Their arrests followed a coordinated ambush and surveillance operation conducted by detectives, which included photographing the suspects at the time of capture.
