Kuwait jails 9 for online gambling and money laundering

A syndicate routed funds generated from gambling through bank accounts registered to a medical clinic and commercial companies.


Kuwait.- Kuwait’s Criminal Court has handed down seven-year prison sentences to nine people and imposed fines of KD1m (US$3.26m) each after finding them guilty of forming an organised criminal gang that ran an online gambling website and laundered proceeds from it.

According to prosecutors, the syndicate routed funds generated from gambling through bank accounts registered to a medical clinic and commercial companies to disguise them as lawful income while moving the money overseas. The court imposed a fine of KD1.84m (US$6m) on an unnamed company for facilitating transactions and permanently barred it from conducting commercial activity.

The Ministry of Interior said the convictions were the outcome of sustained security operations aimed at tackling organised crime and preventing illegal activity in the financial sector.
