The Dubai Criminal Court has sentenced a 35-year-old European woman to 10 years' imprisonment, a fine of Dh50,000, and ordered the authorities to deport her after completion of the prison term.
She was convicted of smuggling 4.6kgs of cocaine into the country and was travelling from an African country via flight.
According to investigation records, the case dates back to August 2021, when a Customs Inspector at the Dubai Airport suspected the presence of drugs in the convict's bag.
He explained that he found a bag containing substances of an abnormal density on passing the bag through the X-ray detection device at the airport.
