KUWAIT, Apr 6: British authorities have arrested and are preparing to extradite Fahad al-Rajaan, the former head of Kuwait’s social security fund convicted at home of corruption and embezzling public money, Kuwaiti media said today.
Last year, al-Rajaan was sentenced to 10 years in absentia and an international arrest warrant was issued.
Kuwait’s attorney general Dherar al-Assousi told al-Qabas and al-Jarida newspapers that Britain had agreed to a Kuwaiti government request to extradite al-Rajaan.
