These penalties were enforced following his conviction on charges related to the illegal sale of counterfeit Kuwait Towers tickets. The court found that the employee had printed these tickets using an unauthorized external printing press, deceiving visitors by passing them off as genuine tickets. The verdict included a fine double the amount embezzled and mandated the return of the misappropriated funds.
