His victims are eminent personalities.. a prisoner practicing fraud from inside the central prison in Kuwait

Despite being behind bars, one of the prisoners in Kuwait and from inside the central prison continued the fraud activity, inflicting new victims, including lawyers, ministers, former representatives and prominent personalities.

The Kuwaiti newspaper, Al-Qabas, quoted a number of victims, how the prisoner managed to deceive them and convince them to hand over their money to him, while he is sentenced to 10 aggravated years, on charges of fraud, money laundering, and impersonation of high-ranking figures in the state to entrap his victims.

The newspaper said that the young prisoner succeeded in defrauding one of the victims for the amount of 900,000 dinars, and on "another prominent person" with 500,000 dinars, and that some of the "imposed upon them" collapsed when they learned the truth of what they had been exposed to.

One of the victims received a call from the prisoner, in which the latter claimed that he was a “secretary to an official who is a well-known high personage.” He said that that person secretly distributes some vouchers and lands to some favorite personalities, and offered him to be one of the beneficiaries.

He added that the prisoner came back to call him, and offered him to look at some vouchers and choose from them, then asked him for his official papers, before telling him that there was a “simple registration fee” of 40,000 dinars.

He says, "He succeeded in taking the money by sending someone to receive it."

The victim said that the prisoner obtained from him the number of his lawyer friend and that he deceived him later, in the same way, for a sum of 34,000 dinars.

The newspaper quoted other victims as saying that the prisoner “was closely aware of the movements of the official who claims to be his secretary, and he knew his travel dates and whereabouts at home and abroad, and he used this to convince his victims.”

Al-Qabas said that the prisoner was recently able to collect more than two million dinars from his victims, and that he was "laundering" that money by buying horses from European countries and then selling them, and "redistributing them to unknown destinations."
