Court Jails Kuwaiti for Smuggling 28,000 Cans of Vietnamese Beer Disguised as Energy Drinks
KUWAIT CITY, May 21: The Court of Appeal, presided over by Counselor Nasr Salem Al-Haid and comprising Counselors Saud Al-Sanea and Tariq Metwally, sentenced a Kuwaiti citizen to prison for smuggling over 28,000 bottles of alcohol from Vietnam, while acquitting the remaining defendants in the case. The Public Prosecution had charged five individuals with illegally importing beer for selling in Kuwait, in violation of Kuwaiti law and without paying the necessary customs duties. According to the testimony of a customs inspector, the incident began when a container arriving from Vietnam was declared to contain energy drinks. Upon inspection, however, the officer discovered cardboard boxes labeled as energy drinks that concealed cans of alcoholic beer. The container was then sealed, and a coordinated operation with the anti-narcotics department led to an ambush. The primary suspect, identified as the owner of the company receiving the shipment, was arrested. The second and third suspects were later summoned and confessed to importing alcohol from Vietnam, revealing that the primary accused had been engaged in similar activities for several years.

KUWAIT CITY, April 16: The Court of Appeal, presided over by Judge Nasr Salem Al-Haid and including Judges Saud Al-Sanea and Tariq Jad Ali, has sentenced employees of the Kuwait Oil Company, the Kuwait Petroleum Corporation, and affiliated contracting firms to seven years in prison. The charges stem from their involvement in facilitating the illegal seizure of public funds through the use of fraudulent work orders. According to the Public Prosecution, the primary defendant, an engineer at the Kuwait Oil Company, along with the second and third defendants, both engineers at the Petroleum Corporation, were found guilty of enabling the unlawful appropriation of KD 228,864. This sum was allegedly seized by two trading and contracting companies owned by their employer. The defendants were accused of signing 73 fictitious work orders falsely confirming that the two companies had completed assigned tasks, as documented in those orders. In reality, no such work had been carried out. The fraudulent documentation was intended to facilitate the companies' unlawful acquisition of the specified funds.
