Read it:
Kuwait, 1979 to 2026: the officials trusted to guard a small, rich state's oil wealth are best placed to take it. A pension chief runs the workers' fund for thirty years and dies in London, convicted in his absence; American prosecutors allege that defense-ministry money reached a Beverly Hills hilltop; a residency undersecretary is convicted of taking bribes in the visa trade; the highest court rules that a minister need not explain secret expenses. Kuwait's courts convict sheikhs and ministers, yet little money is known to have come back. Covers Fahad Al-Rajaan and the Public Institution for Social Security, Khaled Al-Jarrah Al-Sabah and the army fund, Talal Al-Khaled Al-Sabah and the secret expenses, Mazen Al-Jarrah Al-Sabah and the visa trade, and Fahad Mohammed Al-Sabah and Grupo Torras.
