KUWAIT CITY, Oct 29: Kuwait’s nationality investigations have uncovered an alleged citizenship forgery case involving a deceased man who reportedly held different identities in Kuwait and another Gulf state, with 75 people registered as dependents on his file.
The case came to light during an investigation into allegations that one of the man’s sons had been falsely added to a Kuwaiti citizenship file. Further inquiries reportedly led investigators to a much older suspected forgery involving the father’s own identity and lineage.
According to details of the investigation, the deceased man was born in 1947 and used the name “Haa” in his country of origin, while he was registered in Kuwait under the name “Faa.” Investigators found that the five-part names recorded under the two identities differed.
The son was apprehended several months ago and found in possession of both Kuwaiti and Gulf identification documents. Investigators also reportedly found a money transfer receipt showing a transfer to the man’s daughter, who was the deceased’s granddaughter, in the Gulf state.
The woman’s first name matched in the documents issued under the two identities, while the remaining names differed, adding to the evidence examined by investigators.
When confronted with the findings and documents, the son acknowledged their accuracy. He reportedly maintained that he was the deceased man’s legitimate son but admitted that his father had himself been falsely registered as the son of a Kuwaiti citizen.
DNA Tests Dispute Family Lineage
Investigators subsequently summoned the man’s alleged brothers and sisters to establish whether the deceased was genuinely their sibling. The 24 relatives reportedly denied that he was their brother and said he had been incorrectly registered on their father’s file.
Forensic specialists compared photographs in the deceased man’s Kuwaiti and Gulf documents and concluded that the images showed the same person, despite the different identities.
DNA samples were then collected from the son, two of his brothers and the 24 alleged paternal relatives. According to the investigation findings, the genetic tests ruled out the claimed family relationship, while the 24 relatives were confirmed to be biological siblings sharing the same father.
75 People Listed as Dependents
The investigation found that 14 sons and daughters were registered on the deceased man’s file, while the total number of dependents associated with it reached 75.
The case highlights how an investigation into the alleged fraudulent registration of a son led authorities to examine the father’s identity and the legitimacy of his own registration on a Kuwaiti citizen’s file.
Further legal action will depend on the findings and procedures of the competent authorities.
