Us Has Filed A Case Against Sheikh Khaled Al-jarrah

A complaint has been filed against Sheikh Al-Khaled Al-Jarrah, the former defense minister who was almost acquitted by the Court of Ministers in March, but for an appeal appeal in August, reports Al-Seyassah daily. Kuwait is racing against time to recover $104 million, which was embezzled and illegally seized by Sheikh Khaled, his sons, and ten others.

The Ministry of Finance and any regulatory authority in Kuwait were not aware of Sheikh Khaled's involvement in laundering money and investing in American real estate. Lawyer Brown Rudnick Leib, representing Kuwait's government, confirmed in a US Supreme Court hearing held in Los Angeles on May 20 last year that Kuwait was entitled to the $104 million. The United States confiscated this money from Al-Jarrah and his sons, and they bought real estate with it. Approximately $160 million was invested by Al-Jarrah in Beverly Hills property.

Kuwait was unjustly enriched by Al- Jarrah and his sons. In addition to conspiring with ten others and opening at least six accounts under Kuwait's Ministry of Defense, representatives of the US Department of Justice filed a "complaint of confiscation" against the so-called "Mountain" property, alleging that Kuwaiti funds were embezzled to invest in this property in California. According to the complaint submitted to the court on May 13, funds were embezzled and transferred away from Kuwaiti supervision.

In addition to transferring 104 million dollars to California banks between 2012 and 2015, Sheikh Khaled is also involved in money laundering by transferring millions of dollars through banks in California from the "Department of Defense - Military Attache" account. From December 2011 until July 2015, a total of $218,946,744.00 was transferred from the National Bank of Kuwait's accounts to the Ministry of Defense - Military Attaché's accounts. Kuwaiti law prohibits these transfers because they are not recorded in the Kuwaiti Ministry of Defense's records.

In semi-annual reports, they have not been disclosed or approved by the Ministry of Finance or the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. According to them, Victorino Noval, Samir Mahlawi, and others worked with them to establish companies for the purchase of real estate. In accordance with article 18 of the American law, the representatives requested that real estate be confiscated. Madison MacDonald of the US Federal Bureau of Investigation also confirmed the validity of the "forfeiture complaint" against Los Angeles property.
