2,000 Dinars “Vanished” from a Kuwaiti Woman’s Account

A Kuwaiti national filed a complaint with the Banking Affairs Public Prosecution, alleging unauthorized withdrawals from her bank account and asserting that she did not authorize the transaction in question. According to a security source speaking to Al-Anbaa, the complainant stated she was surprised to find a total amount of 2,000 Kuwaiti dinars withdrawn from her account without her knowledge, prompting her to approach the relevant authorities and file a report requesting an investigation into how the transaction was executed and the circumstances surrounding it. The complainant clarified that the withdrawal occurred without her knowledge or consent, necessitating legal measures to verify the incident and identify those responsible. The Banking Affairs Public Prosecution has referred the case to the competent authority to complete the investigation, which will examine how the withdrawal was carried out, the method used, and the identity of the person or entity responsible. The investigation’s findings are expected to reveal how the perpetrator accessed the account and executed the withdrawal, and whether the transaction was conducted using banking data or instruments unlawfully or through a cyberattack by a professional in such criminal activities.
