Criminal Court Sentenced 4 Year Imprisonment To Chinese Woman

18 December 2016 Crime News

The Court of Appeals overturned a verdict issued by the Criminal Court which sentenced a Chinese woman to four-year imprisonment. It instead acquitted her of smuggling liquor. The Public Prosecution had accused the woman of dodging customs to smuggle 12,000 bottles of beer and 200 bottles of wine into the country with the intention of selling them. However, the defense counsel Lawyer Dr Khaled Falah Al-Kafifa presented documents to prove her innocence, stressing on the absence of incriminating evidences against her client. He not only based his defense on Kuwait alone but he also verified with the Chamber of Commerce of China for documents to prove the nullity of the charges as the cargo was mistakenly sent to Kuwait by a company which confessed that the shipment was headed to a neighboring country and not Kuwait or to his client.
