Khaberni - The marvels of Kuwaiti nationality forgery come to the forefront again, as the Court of Appeal has recently sentenced a Kuwaiti citizen and a Syrian person to 7 years of imprisonment and fined them KD 800,000, following the citizen's forgery of Kuwaiti nationality for the latter's son—the Syrian man—thus attributing him to the citizen to enjoy the benefits of nationality, including army enlistment, which is in fact forged.
The threads of the case were spun since 1992 when the first accused (the citizen), leveraging his status, systematically executed a plan in agreement with another person—of Syrian nationality—by informing the Kuwaiti embassy in Syria of the birth of a child, claiming him to be his legitimate son to confer Kuwaiti nationality on him, who is actually the second accused’s son without any legal entitlement, thereby through methods of deception and forgery in official documents, according to the Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Qabas.
