By entering the gold and carpet business, Shahid was able to continue his illegal permit trading scheme without raising suspicion because of the high value earned from his other business dealings. Many are caught in the web of illegal permit trading, as they purchase a permit, usually around 1,500 Kuwaiti dinars, with the hopes of finding a job and making a living in Kuwait. Although cleaning companies, like Shahid’s, are in the business of illegal permit trading, Shahid brought in foreign labour under various other companies. The newspaper says 20,000 Bangladeshi workers were brought to Kuwait, by Shahid, in exchange for more than 50 million Kuwaiti dinars. Shahid is being accused of bringing in thousands of Bangladeshis into Kuwait in exchange for money, usually ranging around 1,500 to 2,000 Kuwaiti dinars, Al Qabas reported.
