- Forger of medical reports detained amid a stepped-up clampdown on corruption
Four people were each sentenced to four years in prison in Kuwait after being convicted of tampering with electricity metre readings. Authorities have intensified an anti-corruption crackdown.
The defendants – two Kuwaiti citizens and two expatriates – were charged with forgery, seizing state money and illegally accessing a government information website affiliated with the Kuwaiti Ministry of Electricity and Water. The appeals court acquitted a fifth person in the same case.
