Kuwaiti woman acquitted in KD 7.5 mln ‘laundering’ case

KUWAIT CITY, July 25: The State Security and Terrorism Crimes Court acquitted a Kuwaiti woman of charges related to laundering approximately KD 7.5 million, engaging in unlicensed economic activity, and harming the country’s national interests in the case known as the “alternative money transfers” case. Lawyer Bader Mohammad Al-Dalak told the court that the charges against his client lacked legal basis, stressing that she had no connection to the case. It is worth noting that the court convicted two other defendants in the same case, sentencing them to 10 years in prison with hard labor and imposing substantial fines after the charges against them were proven.
