Dubai: Kuwait’s Public Prosecution has released former MP Mubarak Al Duwailah on bail set at 1,000 Kuwaiti dinars ($3,200) after being interrogated over leaked conversations with the late Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, Al Qabas newspaper said on Thursday.
Al Duwailah was apprehended on Wednesday after an order of arrest was issued by the Public Prosecution. The pro-Islamist former MP was released after a five-hour interrogation.
“Thanks, God, my father Mubarak Fahd Al Duwailah just walked out of the public prosecutor's office after investigation was over, and he is now heading home,” His son Muath Al Duwailah wrote on his Twitter account. He added: "Thanks God for the state of law and constitution, thank God for the grace of Kuwait."
The audio leaks, revealing a plot to undermine security and cause instability in the Gulf region and Egypt, were circulated in late June by Qatari dissident Khalid Al Hail, who lives in London.
