In a decisive security move, Kuwait’s Criminal Security Sector has deported 20 Asian expatriates after catching them red-handed gambling inside a residential property during the Eid Al-Adha holiday, reinforcing strict enforcement against illegal activities.

Security sources revealed that the operation was launched following credible intelligence received by the General Department of Criminal Investigations, indicating that a house in the Jleeb area was being used to host organized gambling sessions during the holiday period.

Authorities confirmed that surveillance was conducted before officers carried out a targeted raid on the location, successfully arresting all individuals involved while they were actively engaged in gambling activities.

During the raid, law enforcement officials seized cash amounts and gambling tools found in the possession of the suspects, providing clear evidence of their involvement in illegal practices.

All individuals have been referred to the Deportation Department and subjected to biometric fingerprinting, which permanently bans them from re-entering Kuwait or any GCC country, as the Ministry of Interior reaffirmed its zero-tolerance policy toward violations threatening public order.
