A Kuwaiti court has sentenced members of a Syrian gang to 10 years in prison in one of the biggest money-laundering cases in the country's history.
The group laundered more than KD2.29 million (BD2.7 million) through accounts in China, India, Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand, Türkiye and the UAE.
The funds were proceeds from crimes committed in Kuwait, including bank document forgery, fraud, and operating an unlicensed money-exchange business.
Investigations revealed that gang members lured victims through social media advertisements for food products, sending them electronic payment links for Kuwaiti stores that charged amounts higher than the actual purchases.
