Authorities in Kuwait have launched an investigation into the baffling disappearance of money from a bank account belonging to a man who recently passed away, leaving his family in distress and seeking answers.
The Commercial Affairs Prosecution initiated the probe after the deceased's son, a Syrian national, filed a complaint. According to a security source, the man's father had been receiving intensive care at Al-Adan Hospital before his death. Upon collecting his father's belongings, including his bank card, the son later checked the account only to find it completely empty, with the entire balance of KD902 withdrawn.
