Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 32

For imposition of the supplementary penalties set out in Article 16 of Law 1 of 1993 concerning the Protection of Public Funds, the law did not require that the perpetrator of the offense of appropriation of public funds—and the other offenses set out therein—be an employee of the entity whose funds were appropriated. Example of sound reasoning for imposing the penalties of dismissal and a proportional fine for the accused’s appropriation of public funds belonging to an entity other than the one employing him.
