Man gets life term for drug trafficking
The Fujairah Criminal Court of First Instance sentenced an Arab man to life in prison on Tuesday for possessing and trafficking drugs.
The 24-year-old was also fined Dh50,000 and was given an extra year behind bars for having an affair with a woman out of wedlock.
His girlfriend, 38-year-old F.G who hails from Uzbekistan, was sentenced to one year in jail and a fine of Dh1,000 for consuming drugs and having an extramarital affair. The court also ordered to deport her after serving her jail term.
According to court records, Anti-Narcotics section of the Fujairah Police received a tip-off, indicating that the suspect was trading in drugs. The police put the suspect under surveillance and evidence showed that the information was right.
An undercover agent posed as a drug user and approached the suspect asking for drugs. They struck a deal and agreed to meet at a busy mall in Dibba Fujairah.
When the exchange between the drug and the money took place, the police arrested the suspect red-handed. On interrogation, he confessed to the charge and told the police that he was keeping a number of narcotic pills at a hotel apartment in the city.
The police found a large quantity of pills in the apartment and the Uzbek woman was also present in the apartment. She admitted to the police that the drugs belonged to her male friend.
