The Dubai Criminal Court convicted an Arab man of transferring funds through a bank account with the intention of purchasing drugs to use himself.
The police records revealed that information was received by the General Department for Drug Control in Dubai Police stating that the accused possessed and used narcotic substances. The police team obtained permission from the Public Prosecution to search his residence and car, and obtain a urine sample from him for analysis.
The lawsuit papers indicated that the police team raided his residence and that the accused voluntarily guided the policemen to a drawer near his bed, which contained a small black box containing cannabis and crystals.
During the police interrogation, he revealed that he communicated with professional Asian dealer through WhatsApp. He said that the dealer sells his goods without meeting customers. He deposited the money in the dealer's account via an ATM, then took the drugs from a place indicated to him.
