Kuwait: A well-known PhD holder has been fined KD3,000 for obtaining a fake doctorate degree from an Arab country.
The Court of Cassation found the defendant guilty of using the “accredited” fake degree, to hold positions in government departments.
The Public Prosecution had released the fake PhD holder after returning the pay rises which amount to KD20,000.
He first denied the charges, claiming that he studied at the university after securing the approval of the Kuwaiti authorities.
