A Kuwaiti source revealed that an exchange of information took place recently between the security services in Kuwait and the countries of the Cooperation Council after opening the file of money laundering of celebrities in Kuwait.
The Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Qabas quoted on its website today, Wednesday, the source as saying that 23 Saudi celebrities have monitored their relations with some of the famous people in Kuwait accused of money laundering, and whose money was seized during the last period.
The source confirmed that the sales of "antique" cars and precious hours took place between some famous media media in Kuwait and 23 Saudi celebrities, as the vehicles were exported from Kuwait to some Gulf countries, and the money was transferred after the presentation of customs certificates.
The Investigations Unit received 10 notifications of new celebrities, increasing the number of notifications to 20 on suspicion of money laundering.
The source added that tremendous efforts are being made to gather information about the suspicions of the 10 celebrities who were referred to the prosecution, revealing other investigations regarding the new notifications, as investigations are expected to extend to the first week of next month.
Last week, the Public Prosecutor transferred the file of 10 famous media celebrities who were recently accused of money laundering charges to the State Security Agency to determine the source of their funds and indicate the legitimacy of these funds.
The Public Prosecutor issued a decision to freeze their bank accounts until the investigations are completed.
