Kuwait's criminal court has sentenced a Jordanian national who stole while posing as a policemen to 148 years in jail with yet more sentences expected, local media have reported.
The Al-Qabas newspaper said Wednesday that the man, identified only as Hamdan, was on Monday handed a sentence of 24 years, on top of 124 years of jail terms already given him over the last few weeks.
Police said that Hamdan, who targeted mainly Asian victims, posed as an undercover policeman and forced his victims to surrender all their belongings, which in most cases included ATM cards.
He is believed to have cheated dozens of people out of hundreds of thousands of dollars, with each case being looked at by the courts separately.
Hamdan denies all charges but at least one of his victims has identified him in court. He is expected to be handed additional jail terms for the remaining cases.
The sentences must be confirmed by the emirate's appeals and supreme courts to become final.
