Man sentenced to 2 years imprisonment for drug abuse

A GCC national was sentenced to two-year imprisonment after he was found guilty for abusing drugs in Fujairah.

He was caught by the Fujairah Police over a traffic violation, Khaleej Times reported.

Police impounded the man’s car where a syringe containing a narcotic drug was found at back seat.

The criminal court found him guilty of the drug charges. But the man challenged the verdict at the Fujairah Criminal Court of Appeal.

The court adjourned the case to a later date this month to issue its verdict.
