A crime in a place that no one can imagine!

Some people imagine that he can achieve the dream of getting rich quickly in a way contrary to the law without anyone discovering it, so the hero of our case today is a suspect who presented the state with a tourist visa, and was deceived into swallowing an amount of narcotic substances and disposing of them by selling upon his arrival, and the suspect was placed under surveillance upon his arrival, to be caught red-handed. With the rest of those involved with him.

The work team set up a tight ambush for the accused who had promised the buyer in a place that he thought would not occur to anyone, while he was facing the Dubai Dancing Fountain, believing that he could exploit the congestion without raising suspicions, except that the authorities ’vigilance caused him the moment he received the money and delivered the narcotic substances, and his fate ended To life imprisonment, confiscation of the seized drug and deportation from the state after serving a prison sentence.

Commenting on this issue, we first point out that due to the seriousness of the effect of drugs and their cause in the destruction of society, the law tightened the penalties for importing and promoting narcotic substances and trafficking in them as the first resource eligible for eradication, as the Federal Law No. 14 of 1995 on Combating Narcotic Substances and Psychotropic Substances was stipulated in Article (49) as:

God protect Our state from it and from all evil.
