An expatriate in Kuwait has been accused of selling a 75-inch television and two iPhones provided by his employer and replacing them with cheaper alternatives.
The company lodged a formal complaint with the police, accusing the former employee of tampering with assets entrusted to him during his employment, the Arab Times reported. The employer claims the man was provided with an American-made vehicle, a 75-inch Korean-brand television, two iPhones, and a SIM card three years ago to assist with his official duties.
Upon leaving the company, the man returned the items; however, the employer soon noticed that the original television had been swapped for a 32-inch Chinese-made model. Furthermore, the two iPhones had been replaced with Samsung Galaxy phones, and the vehicle had sustained damage estimated at KD 600, including the requirement for a complete repaint.
Investigations reportedly confirmed that the expatriate had sold the original electronics, prompting the company to take legal action. The case has now been referred to the relevant authorities for further proceedings.
