KUWAIT CITY, Feb 5: The Criminal Court, presided over by Counselor Dr. Khaled Al-Omara, has sentenced the former head of the Fencing Federation to four years in prison and fined him 271,000 dinars. Additionally, a travel agency employee was sentenced to three years in prison in a case involving embezzlement of public funds and money laundering.
The Public Prosecution accused the former federation head of laundering 1,181,529 dinars, which he obtained through forgery of official documents and fraud. He allegedly received checks issued by the federation into his account and used two other accounts—belonging to individuals unaware of his intentions—to deposit these funds. The money was then withdrawn in cash and transferred to his bank account in an attempt to conceal its illicit origins.
