A Kuwaiti woman who headed a section in the Ministry of Electricity and Water in the Gulf emirate has embezzled nearly KD12 million (Dh150 million) over 16 years before fleeing to Iran, a newspaper reported on Monday. Al Qabas quoted a Ministry official as saying the unnamed woman embezzled the funds from many people through bogus investments. “Recently, she resigned from her job, sold her car and all her property before fleeing to Iran after embezzling nearly 12 million dinars,” the official said.
