Kuwait’s General Department of Criminal Investigation has dismantled a network involved in manufacturing and promoting locally produced alcoholic beverages. The operation centered on a residential property in the Al-Rihab area. Investigators used sustained inquiries and field surveillance to identify the suspects and uncover the group’s activities. Security officers seized approximately 300 containers during a raid on the property. The initial report did not specify the contents of every seized container. In Kuwait, the manufacture and sale of alcohol are prohibited, placing unlicensed production and promotion under criminal enforcement. The report did not set out possible charges or a court date for the suspects. The story was first published by Times Kuwait.
