Kuwait: Kuwait's supreme court on Monday upheld the acquittal of Sheikh Ahmad Fahad Al-Sabah -- one of the most powerful men in world sport -- on charges of insulting the judiciary.

The ruling, which cannot be appealed, cleared Sheikh Ahmad -- a member of the FIFA executive committee, a top International Olympic Committee member and head of Asia's Olympic body -- of insulting the public prosecutor and inciting public unrest. The senior ruling family member was sentenced in December to six months in jail by a lower court for casting doubt on the integrity of the judiciary.
