The Criminal Court in Kuwait ruled that a member of the ruling family, his partner, and two expatriates be imprisoned for 10 years, and a lawyer for 7 years, obliging them to return one billion dollars and fining them jointly an amount of 145 million Kuwaiti dinars (equivalent to half a billion dollars), in the largest money laundering case, known as the Malaysian Fund.
The Public Prosecution has recently reopened the case, after a two-year hiatus due to the failure to receive information from international bodies.
