Kuwait ... Arresting 7 judges from work and referring them to investigation for money laundering
Today, Tuesday, the Supreme Judicial Council in Kuwait decided to suspend seven judges from work and refer them to investigation on suspicion of their dealings with the network of Iranian accused Fuad Salehi, who is currently imprisoned on charges of money laundering.
In mid-July, the Kuwaiti authorities arrested Salehi and four people (an Egyptian and an Iraqi with European citizenship, and two Kuwaitis), after they raided the site of the network chief (Salehi) in a chalet in Bneider area, south of the capital, Kuwait, and other sites, on charges of money laundering.
The authorities seized luxury and classic cars, four-wheel drive bikes, watches and precious jewelry, and sums in local and different currencies.
The Deputy Emir of Kuwait and Crown Prince Sheikh Nawwaf Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah confirmed the day before yesterday, Sunday, that the corrupt will be pursued and brought to justice.
The issue of combating money laundering has recently come to the fore, officially and publicly, by the Kuwaiti public, in conjunction with the disclosure of two prominent cases, namely, the "Malaysian Sovereign Fund" and the case of the "Bangladeshi MP" accused of high and prominent personalities.
