KUWAIT CITY, Aug 28: Security sources engaged in the ongoing investigations pertaining to the electricity billing manipulation network, which has resulted in the arrest of 7 individuals, have disclosed that the Public Prosecution has issued a travel ban for a real estate trader, reports Al-Jarida daily. This action was taken subsequent to the investigations uncovering the trader’s involvement in manipulating bills for a substantial number of properties registered under his name. The intent behind these manipulations was to absolve him from significant outstanding payments tied to his real estate holdings across various regions. These sources have further revealed that inquiries have revealed a pattern of arrangements where the outstanding bills were pardoned, facilitated through collaboration with a group of individuals acting as intermediaries on his behalf.
