A 33-year-old Arab man, who forced his wife to hide drugs under her clothes in a bid to smuggle them into the Kingdom of Bahrain, has been hit with 15 years in prison. The couple were captured on the Bahraini side of the King Fahad Causeway attempting to enter Bahrain with 350 grams of hashish.
The woman’s nervousness exposed her after police officers unsuccessfully searched her husband, although a tip-off was sent to the customs officials that the man will arrive with drugs.
The woman was searched by the police and the drugs were recovered from her. The husband, meanwhile, told prosecutors that he was offered BD1,000 to smuggle the drugs.
