Suspected financial crimes referred to Public Prosecutor

Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defense, Sheikh Fahd Al-Yousef, has referred cases of suspected crimes affecting public funds, money laundering, and financial disclosure violations to the Public Prosecutor.

This action follows the findings of a final report submitted by a work team formed under Cabinet Resolution No. (2023/830), reports Al-Qabas daily.

The Ministry of Defense stated that this step builds upon earlier efforts initiated by the late Sheikh Nasser Sabah Al-Ahmad to combat public funds embezzlement.

It aims to uphold principles of transparency, justice, and impartiality, and to fulfill commitments to preserve public funds. Furthermore, the move seeks to safeguard the Ministry’s funds and those of foreign military offices from potential misuse in money laundering operations.
