Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 1358

For imposition of the supplementary penalties provided for in Article 16 of Law 1 of 1993 concerning the Protection of Public Funds, the law did not require that the perpetrator of the offence of appropriation of public funds—and the other offences provided for therein—be an employee of the entity whose funds were appropriated. Example of reasonable grounds for imposing the penalties of dismissal from office and a proportional fine for the accused’s appropriation of public funds owned by an entity other than that for which he works.
