Two Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) citizens have been sentenced by the Criminal Court to seven years in jail and ordered to repay the salaries they received illegally from the government over the years.
The case diary shows that the first suspect, a GCC male citizen had been working in the Ministry of Defense after forging documents to show he was a Kuwaiti citizen, including by providing a fake Civil ID. In addition, the man was also accused of obtaining a fake driving license and an education certificate.
In the other case, a GCC woman citizen was jailed for submitting fake certificates to prove that she was a Kuwaiti citizen, in order to obtain monthly payments and allowances from the Ministry of Social Affairs.
