The first-instance court’s decision to condemn an African national to ten years in prison, fine him Dhs100,000, take the seized goods, and deport him after he served his sentence was upheld by the Dubai Court of Appeals.
According to reports, the defendant used bitcoin to pay for a variety of drugs that he bought from an unidentified dealer. About 80 grams of marijuana and other illegal drugs were found in his possession. Details show that the defendant was taking drugs and had a large amount of them in the Al Khawaneej region in December 2024, according to reliable information that Dubai Police obtained.
A police officer said during questioning that a search was conducted because the defendant seemed to be in an unusual state when he was arrested.
His possession was discovered to include multiple rolls of suspected narcotics; these materials, together with a urine sample, were transferred to the Dubai Police Forensic Laboratory for examination. Under Schedule No. (1) of Federal Decree-Law No. (3) of 2021 concerning Combating Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances, dried herbal material containing marijuana, weighing about 80 grams, was one of the substances confiscated, according to the laboratory report.
