KUWAIT CITY, July 28: In a shocking confession, an expatriate who embezzled 98,000 dinars from a travel company pleaded, “The lust for money and the significant returns of the company I worked for blinded me from good behavior. Yes, I embezzled 98,000 dinars, but do not destroy my future and do not refer me to the judiciary.” His plea followed the conclusion of an investigation in which he explicitly admitted to the crime.

A security source revealed that the legal representative of the travel company filed a report with the police, stating that a financial audit uncovered the embezzlement of nearly 100,000 dinars. The audit identified the culprit as a 40-year-old employee. Upon summoning the suspect, he confessed to embezzling the money by making travel reservations for the company’s clients, sending them fraudulent bank links, and pocketing the funds.

He disclosed that he deposited the embezzled money into his TikTok account to avoid detection. The expatriate admitted to embezzling a total of 98,886 dinars over the past period. Once he realized his criminal activities had been exposed, he attempted to sell his TikTok account.

Despite his plea for leniency, he did not offer a plan to compensate the company he betrayed. The detectives’ report confirmed that the accused committed the embezzlement by issuing travel tickets, sending bank links, taking cash from clients, and depositing the money in his TikTok account. The report also noted his attempt to sell the account. Ignoring the expatriate’s weak appeals, the detectives referred the case to the judiciary. Any potential settlement between the company and the expatriate would be managed through the Public Prosecution or during judicial proceedings.
