Not Your Typical Shopping Spree
Last week, authorities in our city made an intriguing arrest at a popular shopping mall. The culprit, known as (S.F.), was nabbed with two companions, following a precise surveillance operation after several reports of false news, malicious rumors, and insults towards fellow citizens via phony social media accounts.
The incident came to light after law enforcement agencies received information about (S.F.)’s role in managing these accounts. The Cybercrime Combating Department and the Hawalli Governorate Investigations Department, under the Ministry of Interior, sprang into action.
Their determination led to identifying our suspect, keeping tabs on his whereabouts, and monitoring his day-to-day activities. With the Public Prosecution's authorization, they apprehended him at the shopping mall in collaboration with the mall management. His two friends were also taken into custody.
Upon interrogating (S.F.), he confessed to managing the phony propaganda machines that were spread over social media. A cache of mobile devices, used for these accounts, was seized during the arrest. Upon searching his residence, more evidence was found, including narcotics, psychotropic substances, and bottles of alcohol.
The authorities also discovered that (S.F.) had been in contact with a foreign national, suspected to be of Caribbean origin, based on the information available. Further investigation revealed that (S.F.) had served a three-year prison sentence for threatening charges, as per case No. (2016/511) Criminal Investigations Department.
However, it's essential to clarify that no explicit connections have been made to an Antiguan and Barbudan defendant by the name "N. B." from the available search results. The Caribbean individual is currently residing outside Kuwait.
The authorities disclosed the names of sixteen fake accounts linked to (S.F.)’s phone, as shown in a picture circulated by the Ministry of Interior.
Based on the information provided, no definitive link exists to an Antiguan and Barbudan defendant named "N. B." It's only suggested that the suspect in custody communicated and cooperated with an individual of Caribbean origin during their online activities, but no concrete evidence supports this being someone from Antigua and Barbuda.
- The Cybercrime Combating Department and the Hawalli Governorate Investigations Department, under the Ministry of Interior, conducted an investigation into a case of cybercrime, involving the management of phony propaganda machines on social media.
- The suspect, upon interrogation, confessed to insulting fellow citizens via these accounts and managing accounts linked to general-news, crime-and-justice, and various other categories.
- Despite initial suspicions, there is no concrete evidence to link the suspect's foreign contact, a Caribbean individual, to the Antiguan and Barbudan defendant named "N. B."
