In July 2025, Kuwait launched a significant operation targeting citizenship fraud, revoking nationality from more than 1,060 individuals. This action is part of a broader campaign that has seen over 40,000 citizenships revoked since early 2024. The crackdown revealed elaborate schemes of forged documents, fabricated family trees, and dual-nationality exploitations spanning decades. Investigations utilized DNA tests, audits, and cooperation with Gulf nations, unveiling a deep-rooted issue in Kuwait. Courts have already handed lengthy sentences to fraudsters, showcasing the severity of the issue. The government defends the move as crucial in combating corruption while critics raise concerns over human rights, statelessness, and due process.
