KUWAIT: Four Egyptians were arrested with $7 million, after they agreed to sell $5 million to a citizen for KD 730,000 in a suspected money laundry case. A security source said a citizen received an offer from an Egyptian friend to buy $20 million in cash (not forged) for KD 730,000 for each $5 million. The citizen went to Farwaniya police authorities and told them about the offer, and he was told to go along with the deal. He told the Egyptian man to deliver the dollars in Jabriya, where five Egyptians appeared with two bags. Police converged on them and arrested four of them, as the fifth escaped. The suspects are being questioned to find out where the rest of dollars are being kept.
