Arkan secures final acquittal in landmark USD180 million money laundering case

In a final and binding judgment, the Criminal Court acquitted a client of Arkan Law Firm in one of the largest money laundering cases in Kuwait, involving an amount exceeding KWD55 million. The case concerned allegations of engaging in unlicensed banking activities (alternative transfer systems) and causing harm to national interests.

The acquittal was secured through the dedicated efforts of Arkan’s Criminal Law Team, led by Dr. Hussain Al-Abdullah, alongside lawyer Sulaiman Al-Saifi and senior legal advisor Lotfi Hashem. The defense team successfully established the client’s innocence by disproving the evidentiary basis relied upon in the prosecution’s report, which failed to withstand judicial scrutiny before the Criminal Court.

This final judgment reaffirms Arkan’s strength and expertise in handling high-value, complex financial and criminal cases, particularly those involving sensitive allegations with significant legal and economic implications.
