English translation
Arrest warrants shall be enforceable throughout Kuwait and its dependencies and on all vessels flying the flag of Kuwait, whenever issued by the investigator in respect of an offence within his jurisdiction. The person charged with executing an arrest warrant may arrest the accused outside his territorial jurisdiction, provided that he presents him to the investigator within whose jurisdiction he was apprehended immediately upon his arrest, to ascertain that he is the person sought for arrest. The investigator may send the warrant by post or by any other means to the investigator within whose territorial jurisdiction it is intended to be executed, so that he may execute the warrant himself or charge another person with its execution.

اوامر القبض تكون نافذة في جميع انحاء الكويت وتوابعها وعلى جميع السفن
التي تحمل علم الكويت، متى كانت صادرة من المحقق بشأن جريمة داخلة في
اختصاصه، ويجوز للمكلف بتنفيذ امر القبض ان يقبض على المتهم خارج دائرة
اختصاصه المحلي، على ان يعرضه على المحقق الذي ضبط في دائرة اختصاصه فورا
القبض عليه للتثبت من انه هو الشخص المطلوب القبض عليه. وللمحقق ان
يرسل الامر بطريق البريد او بأية طريقة اخرى الى المحقق الذي يراد تنفيذ الامر
في دائرة اختصاصه المحلي، لكي يتولى تنفيذ الأمر بنفسه او يكلف غيره بتنفيذه.Ask about this article
