Kuwait Busts Country's Largest Drug Network In Major Anti-Narcotics Operation
Kuwaiti authorities have dismantled the country's largest known criminal network involved in the smuggling and distribution of psychoactive drugs, seizing over 800,000 Lyrica capsules and arresting several suspects — including a key figure already serving time for drug-related offences. The Ministry of Interior confirmed that the General Department of Drug Control, operating under the Criminal Security Sector, executed the operation after weeks of surveillance and coordinated investigation. Investigations revealed that the smuggling ring was being orchestrated from within the Central Prison. The main suspect, a Kuwaiti national currently imprisoned for previous narcotics crimes, was found to have been directing the network from behind bars. His accomplice, a stateless resident already known to law enforcement, was tracked outside the prison after allegedly selling a quantity of Lyrica to an undercover informant. Authorities traced the contraband to a makeshift storage site in the Kabad area — a livestock enclosure, or jakhour, rented under the name of a Kuwaiti citizen for KD 600 per month. The site was reportedly used for storing, packaging, and distributing the banned medication. When police raided the location, the suspect violently resisted arrest, damaging several police vehicles in the process. A search of the facility uncovered significant quantities of Lyrica capsules, powdered Lyrica, and equipment used for repackaging the drug for distribution. Under interrogation, the imprisoned mastermind admitted to coordinating the shipment of narcotics from an undisclosed Asian country. The consignment was reportedly smuggled into Kuwait through air freight. Following this admission, authorities, in collaboration with the General Administration of Customs, inspected a cargo facility at the airport, where they discovered seven large boxes filled with hundreds of thousands of Lyrica capsules. 'This is a major blow to organised drug trafficking operations in Kuwait,' the Ministry of Interior said in a statement, stressing the government's ongoing efforts to dismantle smuggling networks and safeguard the public from the threat of drug abuse.

Bahrain Court Increases Jail Term For Boat Accident
The High Criminal Court of Appeal has toughened the sentence of a man involved in a deadly boating accident, increasing his prison term to three years. According to the Public Prosecution, the incident occurred when the man, along with two foreign companions-who were previously convicted and deported-went on an illegal fishing trip. The man took his own boat out to sea without safety equipment, turned off the navigation lights, and disabled the boat's tracking system to avoid detection by the Coast Guard. On the way back, he was steering the boat under the influence of drugs, speeding, and ignoring international maritime collision rules. His reckless actions led to a collision with another boat carrying two people, who sustained fatal injuries. The lower court had initially sentenced the man to six months in jail, but prosecutors appealed, arguing that the punishment did not reflect the seriousness of his actions or his disregard for human the appellate court agreed with the prosecution and increased his sentence to three years in prison.
