Expected legal penalty in drug cases
My brother friend had been caught by CID whilst smoking marijuana and had marijuana in his possession. He told CID that my brother gave him.
My brother was called downstairs from his office by his friend. When he came down, CID questioned him, beat him and searched him. They did not find anything on my brother nor in his car.
Both my brother and his friend were registered under the same case number and taken to Bur Dubai police station. They had a drug test which was positive.
They've been shifted to central Al Awir jail 1 month ago. My brother denied everything in the 1st & 2nd hearings in Neyaba (Public Prosecution).
Now, they have charged my brother with facilitation of drugs to others and using drugs.
They have now referred my brother case to Abu Dhabi, but his friend who was found with drugs is in Dubai court and has a small charge of using only.
My brother is a 29-year-old engineer who spent his whole life in the UAE and has no police case on him ever before.
What will happen now? Will they only deport him or will they punish him?
Dear Questioner,
I suggest your brother to hire a lawyer. The lawyer needs to start by checking the court case file, see its stage and act accordingly.
You need to act immediately before the final verdict in the case is issued.
Please feel free to contact me on the email to discuss the details of the case.
