State of Kuwait · Criminal Procedure · Ministry of Justice — Court of Cassation — Technical Office

English translation of the principle

The appellant's driving the car boarded by the victim, misleading him into believing he would take him to his destination, then locking its doors and diverting it to an isolated area, and another person's threatening the victim with a knife and then pricking him with it so that he would comply with his order to hand over his wallet, whereupon he complied with his demand under compulsion. Suffices to regard the appellant as a principal perpetrator of theft using violence. The failure to seize the stolen property in his possession does not detract from this. The reason for this.
Arabic original
قيادة الطاعن للسيارة التي استقلها المجني عليه وإيهامه أنه سيوصله إلى وجهته ثم إغلاقه أبوابها والانحراف بها إلى منطقة منعزلة وقيام آخر بتهديد المجني عليه بسكين ثم وخزه بها ليمتثل لأمره بتسليمه حافظة نقوده فامتثل مكرهاً لطلبه. يكفي لاعتبار الطاعن فاعلاً أصلياً في جريمة سرقة باستعمال العنف. لا يقدح في ذلك عدم ضبط المسروقات بحوزته. علة ذلك.
