142 Kuwaitis found to be holding fake degrees from Egypt

At least 142 Kuwaitis have been caught holding fake university degrees obtained from Egyptian universities, reports Gulf News.

According to Al-Jarida newspaper, the fake degree holders obtained their certificates with the help of some employees at the Kuwaiti Cultural Office in Egypt. The fake degrees were discovered by an investigation committee at the National Assembly, which also discovered that each degree costs around KWD500 (US$1,600).

Investigations revealed that an expat working in Kuwait was responsible for facilitating the forging of these certificates, and security authorities have arrested him. Well-informed sources said that the suspect is currently imprisoned and will be sentenced to a term between 50 and 60 years.
