Athbi Fahad Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah (born 1967) is a member of Kuwait’s ruling Al-Sabah family and former head of the State Security Service. He is the third son of Sheikh Fahad Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah and a retired officer in the special forces of the Kuwaiti Army. His career has been marked by controversies, including convictions for his role in a disinformation campaign aimed at inciting insurrection and for engaging in unlawful surveillance. On May 30, 2016, he was sentenced to five years in prison for his involvement in the Fintas Group affair, an attempt at insurrection, although he evaded incarceration.[1][2] He was later included in a royal pardon issued on January 17, 2023.[3]
