The Kuwaiti Ministry of Commerce and Industry has referred a suspected case of commercial raffle fraud to the Public Prosecution for legal proceedings. Authorities have taken swift action against individuals involved, emphasizing the country’s commitment to combating fraudulent activities in commercial operations.

In connection with the case, criminal investigation officers arrested an Egyptian woman at Kuwait International Airport as she attempted to leave the country. The General Department of Criminal Investigation had earlier issued an alert with her details to all entry and exit points. Acting upon this notification, airport authorities apprehended the suspect before her departure.

Following her arrest, the woman was handed over to the relevant authorities for further legal action. The Ministry of Commerce continues to work closely with law enforcement to ensure accountability and protect consumers from fraudulent business practices.

This development highlights Kuwait’s zero-tolerance policy on fraud and its proactive approach to maintaining transparency in commercial dealings.
