Expected judgement in a criminal case for possession of weed

One of my friends was caught at the airport carrying 15 grams of weed while he was travelling for a vacation to the UAE.

He was released on the same day with a bail of AED 10000. What will be the judgement most likely given for this?

He had brought it without knowledge as he forgot to check his bag before packing.

The UAE has very strict laws and regulations to deal with the drug trafficking at any form and the punishment varies from the offence charged depending upon the provisions of the law.

However, the established defence under the criminal jurisprudence is not an exemption to it.

He is out on bail, so does it mean it will be just a fine for it or some other punishment?

It does not mean that. I need to see the entire case records before I say anything.

Should I share the case no with you?

Any charges for checking the details?
