Kuwaiti security authorities have intensified their crackdown on charlatans and sorcerers who profit from deceiving vulnerable individuals by claiming supernatural abilities. The Criminal Security Sector, through the Ahmadi Governorate Investigations Department, has arrested a citizen accused of fraudulently offering services including disease curing, infertility treatment, spell removal, and jinn exorcism for financial gain.
A security source has revealed that the Ministry of Interior has implemented advanced monitoring mechanisms to identify practitioners of witchcraft and sorcery, particularly those advertising through social media platforms. These fraudsters typically promise to bring luck, increase wealth, reconcile couples, and solve marital problems through supernatural means. Some have accumulated substantial profits through these deceptive practices.
This case represents the second such arrest within two weeks, following the mid-August detention of a retired Kuwaiti woman practicing sorcery, witchcraft, and divination for money. While applauding security efforts, sources have called for legal reforms to explicitly criminalize sorcery and witchcraft in the Penal Code, which currently classifies these practices merely as fraud without specific mention of supernatural deception.
The ministry has confirmed seizing numerous magical tools, talismans, herbs, and stones used in these activities, some intercepted by customs officers from individuals arriving from abroad. Authorities have emphasized four key demands: supporting security campaigns against charlatans, raising public awareness about these scams, incorporating specific anti-sorcery legislation, and promoting scientific literacy to combat superstition.
