The judgment was issued on Thursday, November 12, 2026, according to reports published by leading Kuwaiti newspapers, including Al-Qabas, Al-Rai, and Al-Anba.

Those sentenced include a Kuwaiti citizen, an Egyptian woman, and her Egyptian son, following judicial proceedings involving witness testimony, criminal investigations, and evidence submitted to the court.

However, the available reports do not establish that the death sentences have become final or that any executions have taken place.

According to the case details reported in the Kuwaiti press, the investigation began after criminal investigators received information concerning suspected trafficking in narcotics and psychotropic substances.

The authorities obtained authorization from the Public Prosecution and arranged a controlled purchase operation to examine the suspected criminal activity.

An undercover source agreed to purchase three grams of cocaine for 360 Kuwaiti dinars from the first defendant at a cooperative society parking area in Al-Zahra.

Investigators arrested the suspect following the transaction and seized evidence associated with the controlled purchase and the alleged illegal activity.

The investigation subsequently identified suspected links between the first defendant and another individual who was outside Kuwait and allegedly participated in directing drug sales.

Court records cited by local newspapers indicated that electronic communication platforms were used in connection with the activities described in the prosecution’s case.

The third defendant, the Egyptian woman, was accused of receiving and delivering prohibited substances and handling proceeds associated with the transactions.

Investigators also identified financial transfers through exchange companies, which became an important element of the money laundering allegations presented to the court.

The case extended beyond narcotics offenses to allegations involving the movement and concealment of money allegedly generated through the illegal trade.

According to the published judicial reports, the funds involved in the money laundering allegations totaled approximately KWD 73,830.

Prosecutors alleged that the defendants acquired, transferred, converted, and concealed these proceeds through financial transactions designed to disguise their unlawful origin.

After reviewing the evidence and hearing the relevant arguments, the Criminal Court convicted the three principal defendants and imposed death sentences.

A fourth defendant received a different judicial outcome, with the court deciding to refrain from pronouncing punishment subject to a financial guarantee and conduct conditions.

The fourth defendant was required to provide a guarantee of KWD 500 and maintain good behavior for two years under the conditions stated in the ruling.

His case concerned an allegation that he had supplied the psychotropic substance pregabalin to the third defendant without payment for personal consumption.

The distinction between the fourth defendant’s outcome and the sentences imposed on the three principal defendants is important for accurately reporting the court’s decision.

It is equally important to distinguish a judgment delivered by the Criminal Court from a final and enforceable sentence following the applicable judicial procedures.

The reports available at the time of publication did not confirm that all possible appeals had been exhausted or that the death sentences had been implemented.

The case illustrates how narcotics trafficking prosecutions may also involve financial offenses where authorities allege that criminal proceeds have been concealed through financial transactions.

Any subsequent developments concerning appeals, final judgments, or enforcement must be confirmed through official judicial proceedings and reliable reporting.
