As part of the Criminal Security Sector’s ongoing efforts to apprehend violators and fugitives and combat negative phenomena, the General Directorate of Criminal Investigations, represented by the Department for Combating Human Trafficking and Negative Phenomena, arrested a Kuwaiti national working as a dentist on charges of possessing narcotic and psychotropic substances with intent to consume and traffic them.

The incident involved the suspect exploiting social media platforms to advertise narcotics and psychotropic substances, offering them in exchange for engaging in acts contrary to public morals.
