Syrian fugitive’s citizenship fraud uncovered, sister arrested at airport

The committee reviewed a striking forgery case involving a Syrian man who deceitfully acquired Kuwaiti citizenship under Article (1), before fleeing the country. Despite his escape, he maintains regular contact with his sister, who continues to reside in Kuwait.

Informed sources told Al-Rai that the Syrian forger had offered his sister money to leave Kuwait, but she was detained at the airport before her departure. During interrogation, she admitted to the forgery and revealed that her brother had urged her to flee, pleading, “Don’t cut off my children’s livelihood.” DNA testing later confirmed the forgery beyond any doubt.
