Kuwaiti authorities have arrested a pilot and a doctor employed by a local airline after customs officers at Kuwait International Airport discovered 64 rounds of ammunition in the doctor's luggage, the Ministry of Interior said. Security officials said the doctor, a Pakistani national, admitted during questioning that the ammunition had been supplied by a Kuwaiti pilot. Acting on the tip, security forces arrested the pilot at the airport. During interrogation, he corroborated the doctor's account. A search warrant was subsequently executed on the pilot's home and vehicle, where investigators uncovered a cache of 500 unlicenced rounds of ammunition, 87 bottles of alcohol, and equipment allegedly used to produce liquor, according to the ministry.

False data for Tamkeen support: many face trial
Bahrain's Public Prosecution has referred a number of Bahraini defendants to trial for submitting false data online to the Social Insurance Organization (SIO) and the Labour Fund (Tamkeen), and forging private documents to illegally obtain over BD230,000 from both entities. This came as a result of Tamkeen's ongoing collaboration with relevant authorities to monitor and report misuse of its support programmes, said a statement. The Financial Crimes and Money Laundering Prosecution directorate received reports from Tamkeen and the SIO regarding the use of fake documents submitted online to illegally obtain funds for the purpose of employee wage support, it said. Tamkeen commended the collaborative efforts and the prompt action of the relevant government authorities in reporting suspected cases diligently. Tamkeen also stressed that all cases with an element of criminal suspicion such as ghost employment, wage manipulation, and falsifying of documents, and others, should be referred to the relevant authorities to take necessary legal action. – TradeArabia News Service
