Kuwaiti prosecutors are prosecuting social media celebrities for money laundering and travel bans

The Kuwaiti Attorney General, Counselor Dirar Al-Asousi, issued a decision to seize the funds of 10 social media celebrities, while banning them from traveling.

And the Public Prosecution in Kuwait had referred the file of 10 famous “Social Media” who were accused of money laundering, recently, to the State Security Apparatus to determine the source of their money, and to indicate the extent of the legitimacy of these funds.
According to media reports, more than a year ago, Kuwait launched a campaign against celebrities whose bank accounts had abnormally inflated their bank accounts to find out their source, and summoned a number of them earlier for investigation in this regard.
The Kuwaiti newspaper, Al-Jarida, quoted unnamed sources, as saying, “The prosecution’s decision to refer came after confirming that there were financial suspicions about the sources of these celebrities’ money and the inflation of some of them’s accounts and properties, especially in the field of real estate and cars.”
The sources indicated, "It was confirmed that there were suspicions of the money of these celebrities, based on the investigations of the officials of the Financial Intelligence Unit in the ten communications filed against these celebrities," according to "Erm News."
She added, "Based on this referral, the State Security Service will prepare a report after its security investigations on the sources of the funds of the aforementioned celebrities, and refer it again to the Public Prosecution, which will take its decision on the basis of seizing and bringing these celebrities for investigation before the Public Funds Prosecution."
The prosecution did not disclose the explicit names of the celebrities, but rather mentioned the initials of their names, which are (YB, J.N, F.F, D.T, H.B, M.B, A.A.A., S.F., Sh. kh, g.a).
However, "Social Media" activists addressed a number of unconfirmed names, including the fashionista Dana Tuwarish, the fashionista Fouz Al-Fahd, Jamal Al-Najada, the media figure Halima Boland, the fashionista Ohoud Al-Enezi, the activist Meshary Bouyabes, and the journalist Abdel Wahab Al-Issa.
Reports indicated that "there is a link between these celebrities and intermediaries inside the country who participate in money laundering, and the transfer of large sums of money to people from Arab and Asian countries."
