The Interior Ministry stated in a statement: “Investigations revealed that the case began after obtaining information through operations on social media applications, where a research and investigation team was formed. This team executed a well-planned field operation, resulting in the arrest of 7 suspects (6 Egyptians and one Syrian) directly linked to managing these illegal activities.” These activities involved transferring money from abroad through a person residing in Turkey, with amounts reaching up to 25,000 Kuwaiti Dinars or less each time, to be re-entered unofficially and distributed in cash to participants. The total amount seized and transferred through the network was 153,837.25 Kuwaiti Dinars. The ministry indicated that “coordination was made with the Financial Prosecution, and all suspects, along with the seized amounts and the entire investigation file, were referred to the Public Prosecution to take the necessary legal actions against them.”
