English translation of the principle

The jurisdiction of criminal investigation officers. General and comprehensive in detecting all offences in the State of Kuwait. The implication: the plea of lack of territorial jurisdiction is far from the correct course, and no fault attaches to the challenged judgment for not responding to it.
Arabic original
اختصاص ضباط المباحث الجنائية. عام وشامل في ضبط جميع الجرائم بدولة الكويت. مؤدى ذلك: أن الدفع بعدم الاختصاص المكاني يكون بعيداً عن محجة الصواب ولا تثريب على الحكم المطعون فيه عدم الرد عليه.
