Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Rai reported on Friday that four Egyptians have been arrested by Kuwaiti police for possession of $7 million, standing accused of trading foreign currency on the black market. The four suspects, who are currently being interrogated, were planning to sell the money to a Kuwaiti citizen, said the paper. A security source told the newspaper that a citizen received an offer from one of his Egyptian friends, offering to sell him $20 million on the black market. He agreed with the five Egyptian suspects to hand over the sum in Kuwait’s al-Jabriya area, where they were subsequently arrested. The police found $7 million in two bags that were in the suspects’ possession, and interrogated them in search of the remaining $13 million.
