KUWAIT: An employee at Kuwait International Airport foiled a bribery and prevented a banned person from traveling outside the country.

The employee reported that a police officer was offered KD 2,000 to allow a Canadian citizen who is banned from traveling to leave the country. A security source said that a non-commissioned officer asked a data entry employee at the airport to help him enable a Canadian of Lebanese origin to leave the country illegally, by not registering his movement in the computer because he is wanted.

The employee pretended to agree but he then reported the issue to his superiors headed by airport passports director Colonel Bader Al-Shaye, who coordinated with residency detectives. The public prosecution was informed to get a court order to record video and audio of the bribery taking place. But when the police officer went with the wanted man to the airport and reached the departure gate gave the money to the employee after receiving it from the Canadian both were arrested and sent to residency detectives.
