Deceased in 1977 at age two, still present
The Kuwait Directorate General of Citizenship Enforcement managed to uncover a case of identity theft involving a Kuwaiti child who passed away in 1977, by using a Gulf individual since 1987. Investigations revealed that the impersonator exploited the weaknesses of the old record-keeping system, which lacked data linkages between various authorities. The inquiries confirmed that the deceased child died at the age of two in Al-Sadri Hospital and was buried in Kuwait. The case was based on an old death report, death certificates, and burial permits. A thorough search through the records of the Ministry of Health and the Municipality showed that the suspect was living with a brother who was also an impersonator of the same identity, and that he worked in the National Guard and had nine children. The suspect admitted during the investigations to impersonating his Kuwaiti identity, and was apprehended after DNA matching with his family members. He has been referred to the Public Prosecution to take the necessary legal measures.
