A Doha Criminal Court has sentenced an expatriate man to five years in jail and fined him QR200,000 for illicit drug trade.
Local Arabic daily Al Arab reported that the Drug Prevention Department of the Ministry of Interior (MoI) received information from a source that the convict used to sell illicit drugs at various areas of the country. Accordingly, a police patrol followed him and they stopped him while he was driving his vehicle near a petrol station in Al Hilal area.
Upon searching his vehicle, some hashish was found hidden under the accelerator, in addition to some cocaine, amphetamine pills, all packed and ready for circulation.
Besides, when taken for a blood test, it turned out that he had consumed illicit drugs. During hearing he confessed to possessing the illicit items for personal use but denied trading in them.
However, the court convicted him based on the investigations and the material evidences seized when he was arrested.
