In Kuwait, an online platform for reporting suspicious draws was launched

 
 
 

The Commerce Ministry's truth-seeking committee has announced an extensive review of raffle draws conducted by banks and commercial enterprises since 2015. The investigation aims to assess the lawfulness of these draws, ensuring compliance with legal and ethical standards.

According to Adnan Abol, the head of the committee, the period under review could be extended based on emerging evidence and legal proceedings. This move underscores the ministry’s commitment to transparency and fairness in commercial activities.

As part of the investigation, the ministry plans to launch an online platform where the public can report suspicious raffle activities. This initiative seeks to empower citizens by allowing them to file complaints and share relevant information, reinforcing accountability and consumer protection.

In a related development, the Public Prosecution has ordered the arrest of a Kuwaiti national and five expatriates linked to the raffle draw scandal. Additionally, international arrest warrants have been issued through Interpol for other suspects involved in the case.

Authorities are intensifying their crackdown on fraudulent commercial practices, signaling a strict stance against any form of misconduct. The ongoing legal proceedings highlight Kuwait’s dedication to upholding integrity within its financial and commercial sectors.
