Two Brothers, Two Fake Identities — One Massive Kuwaiti Forgery Scandal
KUWAIT CITY, July 18: Sources have revealed a significant case of identity fraud involving two brothers from a Gulf state who, while sharing the same lineage, were registered under entirely different identities in Kuwait. The case first came to light in 2021, when it was discovered that one of the individuals had forged his identity to obtain Kuwaiti citizenship. His case was referred to the Public Prosecution, where a court ruling was issued against him. In 2024, his Kuwaiti citizenship was officially revoked, and the Forensic Evidence Department archived a DNA sample. In 2025, new information from private sources led authorities to uncover another fraudulent individual. Investigations revealed that this person was also not genuinely Kuwaiti. His Kuwaiti identity and his Gulf name were completely different. Further verification revealed that his name matched that of the individual whose citizenship was revoked in 2024. DNA fingerprinting confirmed that the two were biological brothers from the same Gulf country. However, their official Kuwaiti records stated that they each belonged to entirely different families, with different fathers, grandfathers, and surnames — indicating deliberate forgery. As a result, the second man's citizenship was also revoked, along with the citizenship of 16 individuals who had been granted nationality through their association with him. Timeline of Events: 2021 – One of the individuals was found to have forged his identity. His case was referred to the Public Prosecution. 2024 – A court ruling led to the revocation of his Kuwaiti citizenship; his DNA sample was stored in forensic records. 2025 – Another fraudulent individual was identified based on tips from private sources. It was revealed that he was not genuinely Kuwaiti and had different names in Kuwait and his home country. His name was linked to the individual whose citizenship was revoked in 2024. DNA testing confirmed both were biological brothers from the same Gulf state. Their Kuwaiti records falsely listed different family lineages. The citizenship of both forgers and 16 others associated with their files was revoked.

Saudi Arabia Shuts Illegal Cosmetics Facility, Suspends European Pharmaceutical Factory Over Safety Breaches
In a sweeping enforcement campaign aimed at protecting consumer health, the Saudi Food and Drug Authority (SFDA) has taken decisive action on two separate fronts — seizing 1.5 million non-compliant cosmetic products stored illegally in a residential facility and suspending a European pharmaceutical factory after uncovering serious violations of manufacturing standards. In Najran, SFDA inspectors shut down an unauthorised warehouse disguised as a residential facility, where approximately 1.5 million units of cosmetic products with manipulated expiration dates were being stored and distributed. The items, which violated national safety regulations, posed a direct risk to consumer health. The authority has referred the case to the Public Prosecution for further legal action. 'This type of fraud represents a serious threat to public safety and will not be tolerated,' the SFDA said in a statement, adding that it remains committed to combating all forms of non-compliance in the cosmetics sector. Under Article 31 of the Kingdom's Cosmetics Law, offences such as tampering with expiration dates or distributing falsified products can result in up to five years in prison, fines of up to SR5 million or both. In a separate case, the SFDA announced the suspension of a European pharmaceutical manufacturer's registration following an external inspection that revealed serious breaches of Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP). Inspectors identified significant failures in production procedures and internal quality systems — lapses that were deemed to pose a direct risk to the safety of medicines destined for the Saudi market. The inspection was conducted under the SFDA's foreign factory oversight programme, which adheres to international regulatory standards and involves detailed assessments of production, quality control, and distribution protocols. Describing the suspension as a 'precautionary measure,' the authority said it was enacted to prevent the entry of potentially unsafe pharmaceutical products into the Kingdom.

Saar Crash Driver Hit With New Sentence: Total Prison Time Now 9 Years
A Bahraini man has been sentenced to nine years in prison for causing a horrific car accident in Saar that killed a couple and their young son, and left two other children from the same family seriously injured. The tragedy happened on May 30, 2025, when the man—driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol—was speeding and going the wrong way. He slammed head-on into the family's car, leading to the heartbreaking loss of three lives and serious injuries to the two surviving children. Investigations by the Public Prosecution revealed that the driver had taken narcotics before getting behind the wheel. A separate search of his home by the Drug Enforcement Unit uncovered cannabis (hashish), confirming he had illegal drugs in his possession. The man faced two separate cases in court: In the traffic case, the Seventh Lower Criminal Court sentenced him to six years in prison, revoked his driver's license, and ordered the confiscation of the vehicle used in the crash. In the drug possession case, the First Lower Criminal Court gave him an additional three years in prison, a BD3,000 fine, and ordered the confiscation of the seized drugs. The charges against him included: Causing death by reckless driving under the influence Driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol Speeding more than 30% over the limit Ignoring traffic signs and driving the wrong way Causing serious injury to others Damaging property and endangering lives Possessing illegal drugs for personal use The courts described his actions as highly dangerous and reckless, emphasizing that the punishment serves as a message about the serious consequences of driving under the influence.
