KUWAIT CITY, Nov 1:  Securitymen recently arrested an Iranian for his alleged involvement in money laundering operations in Kuwait, reports Al-Shahed daily quoting sources.
Sources revealed the Iranian had a dispute with a Lebanese, provoking the latter to inform the security authorities about his illegal activities. The Lebanese told police the Iranian carries out his money laundering operations through the import of goods from his country and his latest operation was estimated at KD 3 million, sources said.
Sources confirmed the money laundering operations in Kuwait increased after the discovery of the multimillion deposit scam, in which some lawmakers have been implicated. Sources revealed investigations are ongoing to determine if an influential Kuwaiti is involved in the money laundering operations of the Iranian.  Sources explained some people, who have millions in other countries, have been facing difficulties since the emergence of the scandal, so they try to get their money through trading and real estate transactions to conceal their illegal acts.
Sources added the General Criminal Investigation Department (GCID) has formed several teams of investigators to handle the case and to track down all those behind it.

Four nabbed: The Ministry of Interior announced  Tuesday that the Criminal Investigation Department arrested four citizens accused of slandering the Amir, says KUNA. The ministry statement added that evidence against the four citizens  was gathered during monitoring their Twitter accounts.
