Uncovered: The Illegal Smuggling of Immigrants Into Kuwait by a Truck Driver

Authorities have arrested a truck driver for smuggling illegal immigrants into Kuwait through the Nuwaiseeb port, charging 1,000 dinars per person. Along with the driver, two expatriates who entered the country through his operation were also detained. Investigations are ongoing to determine the total number of individuals he smuggled, with plans to apprehend and refer them to the appropriate authorities. A security source indicated that the expatriates smuggled by the driver might face deportation once the investigation concludes. The case came to light when an expatriate was arrested in the Al-Mutlaa area without identification or any record in the database. During questioning, he admitted that he and another expatriate of the same nationality had illegally entered the country with the help of the truck driver. He provided detectives with the second expatriate’s contact information. Following investigations, the driver was located in the Abu Halifa area. During interrogation, he confessed to smuggling the expatriates into the country two months earlier, charging 1,000 dinars for each. He revealed that he received payment in advance and dropped the individuals off after crossing the Nuwaiseeb border. The Nuwaiseeb border crossing authorities were alerted to the driver’s activities to take necessary measures. The driver also admitted to previously smuggling other expatriates into the country by concealing them among vegetables and fruits in a truck transporting food supplies.
