KUWAIT CITY, March 29: The Public Prosecution is currently investigating Case No. 947 of 2025, Capital Prosecution, registered under No. 550 of 2025, Criminal Investigations. This case arises from a report submitted by the Ministry of Interior security services, which implicates several individuals in tampering with the raffle draws for the Kuwait Shopping Festival, "Ya Hala." The alleged crimes under investigation include forgery, bribery, embezzlement of public funds, money laundering, and actions detrimental to the national interests of the country.

In light of the information being circulated across media outlets and social media platforms regarding this case—and given the potential negative impact such dissemination may have on the integrity of the investigation and the nation's interests—the Public Prosecution emphasizes the importance of preserving confidentiality to prevent harm to individuals and entities before a conviction is established.

Under Article 75, Paragraph 2 of the Criminal Procedures and Trials Law, as amended by Law No. 3 of 2012, the Attorney General has ordered that the investigation remain confidential and that any news or information related to the case be strictly prohibited. Legal action will be taken against anyone who violates this order. The Public Prosecution will release the investigation's findings to the media as soon as the inquiry is concluded.
