"The company continues to believe the case involves a civil contract dispute and should not be a criminal matter," Agility said in the statement.

A US appeals court ruled last week against an attempt by the firm Agility to avert prosecution over charges it defrauded the US Army in multibillion dollar contracts.

Agility shares slumped 6 percent on Sunday, dragging Kuwait's benchmark to a seven-year low.
