KUWAIT CITY, Oct 13: Security personnel and detectives from Abdali conducted a successful raid on an illegal liquor factory located in a remote desert area of Abdali, arresting six Asian nationals who were operating the facility.

According to a security source, the operation followed a period of close surveillance and investigation after authorities received information about the illicit activity. During the raid, officers discovered a large number of barrels used in the distillation process, along with various tools, equipment, and materials used in the production of alcohol. Additionally, numerous bottles of locally made liquor, already filled and prepared for sale, were seized from the site.

Upon interrogation, the six arrested individuals reportedly confessed to manufacturing the liquor and distributing it for sale. Both the suspects and the confiscated materials have been referred to the relevant authorities for further legal action.

It is worth noting that in August, the Ministry of Interior arrested 67 individuals linked to the production and sale of locally made alcoholic beverages during raids on ten illegal factories — six dedicated to manufacturing and four operating within residential and industrial areas.
