Trio sold phone lines to inmates

KUWAIT:

Acting Interior Ministry Assistant Undersecretary for Criminal Evidence Major General Shihab Al-Shimmari ordered two women and a man be sent to the public prosecution after they registered phones in the names of citizens and expats, then sold them to central prison inmates, leaving innocent people to bear the charges. A security source said a citizen told Khaitan police that she was surprised to find there were two phone lines in her name, and the company was demanding payment. The source said investigations led to discovering that a bedoon and two women, both citizens, were behind this scam.
