An Asian driver has been jailed and fined for facilitating the use of heroin for a man in his vehicle and then dumping his body when he died from an overdose.
The Dubai Criminal Court sentenced the defendant to five years in jail, as well as a fine of Dh50,000.
A truck driver had found the deceased's body in a sandy lot in the Jebel Ali Industrial Area in April last year.
A team of CID investigators from the Dubai Police found surveillance footage from the area, which showed the accused bringing the body to the lot and then fleeing in a vehicle. He was arrested shortly after he was identified.
The accused will be deported after serving his sentence.
