KUWAIT CITY, Dec 5: The Court of Appeal has acquitted a Kuwaiti “businesswoman” of charges related to money laundering and real estate fraud in London, amounting to KD 28 million. Previously, the Criminal Court had sentenced her to seven-year imprisonment for laundering KD 28 million and fined her KD 1,152,000 for defrauding citizens by offering fictitious student apartments near British universities . She was also ordered to compensate 28 victims with KD 5,001 each. The citizen was arrested by Interpol in October 2023 after fleeing the country in response to multiple complaints filed against her. She had deceived her victims, claiming to be a businesswoman who could help them invest in her commercial and real estate projects, only to take their money and flee the country.
