Will my brother have to take a drug test after surrendering for drug possession?

Hello,

My brother was arrested in February for possession of 4/5 grams of a drug.

He was charged with possession of narcotic substances stipulated in Tables No. 1 and 4, Section 1, which is more than 100 grams in Dubai.

He is not selling the drug, but I found out that he uses heroin.

Yesterday was his first hearing, and he was sentenced to a fine of AED 5,000 and deportation.

I would like to ask if he has to undergo a drug test when he surrenders.

Dear Questioner,

No, since he already has a judgment and is required to leave the country, he may not be subject to a drug test.

Thank you!

I would be grateful if you could advise me on when and where he has to surrender, how long it will take him to be deported, and what procedures and documents are needed.

You may contact the prison where he may be detained or arrested if he is detained or arrested.

Dear Questioner,

No.

He can be tested if they suspect he is a recent drug user.
