KUWAIT CITY, July 18: Authorities have uncovered a complex case involving a man born in 1956, who had 44 children listed under his name and a total of 122 dependents linked to his citizenship file.

The case first came to light in 2006, when the Nationality Investigation Department discovered that the individual held citizenship from another Gulf country. Upon being confronted with official documents confirming his true identity, he admitted to possessing Gulf citizenship and pledged to renounce it. Notably, his Kuwaiti identity differed entirely from his Gulf identity.

In 2017, the man added a Yemeni child to his file, further raising suspicions.

By 2025, investigations intensified, and 13 men identified as his brothers were summoned. They were informed that their father's nationality file was under scrutiny and were questioned about their siblings, both real and potentially fraudulent.

The 13 individuals confirmed that they were indeed biological brothers, all sharing the same father, but claimed not to know the other supposed siblings. DNA testing confirmed that these 13 were genuine siblings.

However, DNA analysis ultimately proved that the man born in 1956 was not related to the 13 real brothers by blood.

As a result, his Kuwaiti citizenship was revoked, along with the citizenship of the 122 individuals who had obtained it through his fraudulent claim.
