Criminal Court Confronts Extradited Defendant in Fake Real Estate Scam

The Criminal Court has postponed the first session of the appeal filed by a defendant who was recently extradited from Turkey by Interpol. The defendant, previously sentenced to 10 years of hard labor and fined 3 million dinars, is accused of selling fake apartments in the Sabah Al-Salem area and chalets in the Sabah Al-Ahmad Marine area. The case has been adjourned until September 25 for further review.

The Public Prosecution has charged the accused with money laundering involving 3 million dinars, which were acquired through fraudulent real estate transactions. The funds were allegedly transferred outside Kuwait, with the defendant fully aware of their illicit origin.
