It was the opposition’s first public rally in over a year. The crowd was estimated at more than 10,000 people. Barrak showed copies of documents he claimed were the bank accounts and transfers of former senior offi- cials who he alleged stole a total of more than $50 bil- lion. Some of the money was deposited in accounts in Europe, while around $15 billion was deposited in an account in an Israeli bank, he said. The former outspo- ken lawmaker said corruption was rife in every aspect of Kuwait and warned that the forces of corruption were systematically destroying the country.
