A member of Kuwait's ruling family was arrested over charges of money laundering and usury, authorities said late Friday.
The royal reportedly attempted to escape an "enforceable prison sentence" for the financial crimes he was accused of, Kuwait's Ministry of Interior said in a statement.
Security services managed to track him down after investigations and a thorough search.
The arrest serves as a reminder that 'no one is above the law', the interior ministry said. It affirms the authorities' commitment to ensuring that the rule of law is applied to everyone — including members of the ruling family, it added.
The ministry said it also seeks to ensure justice and equality prevail in the implementation of the law, without any exceptions.
