Repeat Raffle Winners Under Investigation By Kuwait Authorities

KUWAIT CITY, March 25: The Ministry of Commerce and Industry is preparing to submit to official investigators a comprehensive list of individuals who have won two or more times in raffle draws conducted in recent years. This move comes as part of the ongoing probe into alleged coupon raffle manipulation, with authorities planning to summon these winners for questioning.

Informed sources revealed that the ministry's audit committee, currently reviewing raffle records, is prioritizing the identification of repeat winners from the past three years—particularly those whose wins occurred in close succession. The sources indicated that the investigations may extend further back in time, potentially including both past winners and officials overseeing the draws during the periods in question.

Emphasizing the ministry's advisory role, the sources clarified that while it will furnish investigators with all relevant data, the actual investigation into the circumstances surrounding these wins—and any subsequent legal action—will fall to the proper judicial authorities.
