A civil servant in Kuwait was sentenced to five years in prison and fined 1 million for unlawfully receiving salaries for a decade without performing any work. The Court of Cassation overturned previous acquittals, ruling the evidence against the individual as irrefutable.

The unnamed civil servant, who worked in the citizen service department, pocketed over $339,000 in public funds. This case highlights Kuwait's efforts to combat salary fraud and administrative corruption.
