KUWAIT CITY, Aug 25: In a case labeled “fraud and deception,” Hawalli detectives have concluded that the accused committed the crime, and his denial was deemed baseless. The accused, facing financial difficulties, sought assistance from another expatriate and received 3,000 dinars as part of a partnership for a project he planned.

However, after his financial situation improved and his business prospered, he denied the partnership, citing the absence of official documents, and refused to repay the money he had received from the victim. An expatriate reported to a police station in Hawalli Governorate that another expatriate, who was a relative, had solicited his partnership in a vegetable shop due to financial troubles and job loss, promising profits in return.

Unexpectedly, the shop began to perform well, but when the victim requested his share of the profits, he was shocked to find that the partner denied the existence of any partnership and refused to return the initial investment. The victim was unable to provide documents confirming the transaction, stating that the money was given in cash. Following the filing of a fraud case, the defendant was summoned and denied the allegations. Detectives’ investigation revealed that the defendant’s claims were false. As his business thrived, he decided to monopolize the shop and reject the partner who had supported him during his time of need.
