Criminal Court Sentences Kuwaiti, Egyptian, and Son to Death for Cocaine Trafficking, Psychoactive Substances, and Money Laundering

The Public Prosecution charged the defendants, from the first to the third, with committing the crime of money laundering derived from the crime of trafficking in narcotic and psychotropic substances. Specifically, they acquired, possessed, transferred, converted, concealed, and disguised the true nature of funds totaling 73,830 dinars, which were proceeds from that criminal activity. They conducted repeated financial transfers to the second defendant through exchange companies and introduced these funds into the financial system under descriptions that did not reflect their true nature, with the intent to conceal and disguise their illicit origin and to legitimize them, fully aware that the funds were derived from the trafficking of narcotics and psychotropic substances. Additionally, they possessed cocaine and the psychotropic substance pregabalin, with the intent to traffic and consume them.
