KUWAIT CITY, Dec 30: The Court of Appeals overturned the seven-year prison sentence issued against a sports coach in a money laundering case, acquitting him once again. The court also revised the other charges, reducing the sentence to four months in prison and ordering the confiscation of seized hormones and medical equipment, replacing the previous KD 40,000 fine. According to the case file, the coach had been accused of operating an unlicensed drug warehouse by storing medications at his residence for commercial sale and practicing pharmacy without a license from the Ministry of Health. He was represented in court by Lawyer Bashar Al-Nassar, who argued that the money laundering charge was unfounded and that the lower court’s verdict contained errors in legal interpretation as well as insufficient reasoning. Investigations had begun following confidential information about individuals selling hormones and steroids in Kuwait without Ministry of Health’s approval or proper registration, which are legally required for such substances. When questioned, the accused admitted to possessing hormonal products at his residence, selling them without a license, and using the proceeds to purchase more products for resale at higher prices
