Kuwait Criminal Court sentences nine people to seven years over illegal gambling
Kuwait’s Criminal Court sentenced nine people to seven years in prison each for operating an illegal online gambling site and laundering proceeds. It also fined them KD1 million each, fined a linked company more than KD1.839 million and barred it from business dealings; the Ministry of Interior said its investigation led to the case.
The sentences and company restrictions signal enforcement exposure for illegal gambling and related businesses in Kuwait.
