An Egyptian woman was arrested at Kuwait International Airport for her alleged involvement in a fraud case connected to the Ya Hala raffle. The Ministry of Commerce and Industry has referred the matter to the Public Prosecution, indicating serious legal ramifications. The woman had previously raised suspicions by winning multiple raffles and transferring a vehicle to her husband before attempting to flee the country.

In Kuwait City, the Ministry of Commerce and Industry has intensified its investigation into a suspected fraud case linked to the Ya Hala raffle, now referring the matter to the Public Prosecution for legal proceedings. Simultaneously, criminal investigation officers apprehended an Egyptian woman suspected of being involved in the fraud while she was attempting to depart from Kuwait International Airport. Authorities had issued a circular with her details, leading to her timely arrest before she could leave the country.

The investigation revealed that the suspect transferred ownership of a vehicle, which she had recently won in the raffle, to her Egyptian husband. Reports indicate that the couple hurried to the airport as part of their plan to flee to Egypt. Notably, the woman has raised suspicions due to her numerous raffle wins and lacks a valid driver’s license, further complicating the inquiry into this case.

This case demonstrates the proactive measures being taken by Kuwaiti authorities to address fraudulent activities, particularly in commercial sectors such as raffles. The swift arrest of the suspect at the airport reflects a rigorous approach to uphold the integrity of market operations and pursue accountability for unlawful actions. The investigation will continue to uncover all relevant details surrounding this incident.
