Kuwait's counterterrorism and money laundering forces have dismantled a gang comprised of eight individuals found to be involved in illegal money transfer methods, the interior ministry said on Thursday.
The individuals arrested have been found to conduct transactions with illegal money transfer dealers, according to a ministry statement, underlining such activity as detrimental to the economy and causing market instability.
Kuwaiti security forces are committed to preserving "financial transparency," while all those found to be complicit in unlawful practices would face stern legal action, it warned.
