Dubai, UAE

ما هي خياراتي إذا تم القبض عليّ لتعاطي مادة مخدرة غير قانونية؟

تم القبض عليّ بتهمة تعاطي مادة مخدرة غير قانونية لأول مرة في دبي وتم احتجازي لمدة 35 يومًا.

تم القبض عليّ في 20/10/2022 وتم الإفراج عني بكفالة في 24/11/2022.

لكن قضيتي لا تزال معلقة وتحت التحقيق.

كم تبلغ العقوبة على المواطن الإماراتي وكم من الوقت سيستغرق الأمر حتى تصدر النيابة أمرها في قضيتي؟

ملاحظة: متعاطي مخدرات لأول مرة.

Whoever takes in any way, uses personally in other ways than the authorized cases, or takes doses more than what is specified in the prescription shall be punished by imprisonment for a period of not less than three months or a fine of not less than 20,000 dirhams and not more than 100,000 dirhams.

It is preferable to appoint a lawyer to defend you and try to reduce the penalty to the fine only and prove that it was the first time.

I am a UAE National and it was my first time. They told me the penalty could be 5000.

This is at the discretion of the judge.

This is what the judge said according the new U.A. Law. And all judges do act according with that law with nationals in here.
