Kuwait City: Kuwait’s ministerial court ordered the pre-trial detention of former prime minister and ruling family member Shaikh Jaber Al Mubarak Al Sabah in a case over the alleged mishandling of military funds, Kuwaiti newspapers said yesterday.
Al-Rai and Al Jarida newspapers said Shaikh Jaber and former defence and interior minister Shaikh Khalid Al-Jarrah Al Sabah rejected the charges directed against them.
The court denied a request to release Shaikh Khalid, also a senior member of the ruling family, Al Jarida and Al Qabas newspapers said.
The court set the next hearing for April 27.
