Security personnel have apprehended an unnamed Bangladeshi and referred him to the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) for possessing fake Kuwaiti dinars.
The man attempted to remit money KD300 to Bangladesh through an exchange company in Mahboula using counterfeit Kuwaiti dinars. Vigilant staff at the exchange identified the currency as counterfeit and immediately notified the Operations Room of the Ministry of Interior.
On interrogation, the man denied knowledge that the currency was fake and said it was given to him by a compatriot in settlement of an old debt. He added that had he been aware that the currency was counterfeit, he would not have taken it for transaction to an exchange company where staff have the knowledge and equipment to identify fake currencies.
