KUWAIT CITY, Dec 23: The Criminal Court ruled to refrain from issuing a verdict against an employee of the General Traffic Department for allegedly forging vehicle repair permits issued by the Ministry of Interior, reports Al-Anba daily. The documents show the alleged suspect issued a repair permit for more than one vehicle that was submitted to several garages, and one of the garage owners filed a report that ended with him being referred to the competent authorities, which in turn referred him to the criminal court under the name of “forgery in an official document.”

Defense lawyer Faisal Al-Mutairi pleaded orally explaining the circumstances of the case, that the accusation was based on suspicion, and that the incident officer had no certain evidence that the accused had falsified what was attributed to him, which was what the court was convinced of, and based on its convicting refrained from punishing the accused.
