The Investigation Committee of Ministers accused several public servants of embezzlement.

The criminal court acquitted the accused.

The committee and the office of the public prosecution appealed the ruling before the court of cassation.

The court said that the appeal made by the committee was illegal. The court said that the committee was an irrelevant party in the case according to Article 8 of Kuwait Law No. 40/1972. The court said that the committee did not have the authority to appeal the ruling.

The office of public prosecution said in its grounds of appeal that the ruling had insufficient evidence of causation. The office said that the court had established the ruling on the grounds that the evidence was not satisfactory and it had ignored the evidence.

The court said that this argument was invalid. The court said that the court had considered all aspects of the case properly and established the ruling on the grounds of solid evidence.

The court upheld the appealed ruling.
