Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 364

The defense based on the absence of criminal intent in the accused's bribery offense on the ground that the work he performed was after official hours and the fruit of his own effort. Rejecting this on the basis that the expiry of official hours does not negate the fact that the appellant's work was among the duties of his office which he was assigned to perform with the offender, thereby establishing criminal intent in this offense, namely trading in public office. Correct.
