The Court of Appeals upheld a 10-year prison sentence against an Asian who was convicted of drug trafficking along with a fine of BD5,000.
He was ordered to be deported after completing the punishment. The defendant’s activities were exposed after the security authorities received a tip-off, and investigations confirmed the validity of the information with the use of an undercover agent.
The latter contacted the defendant and offered him BD150 to buy maiijuana from him. The accused was arrested with the photographed amount, and force was used to control him. He was taken to his residence, and police officers seized other types of drugs.
When asked about the source of the drugs, he said he was getting them through the dead mail. The Public Prosecution charged him with selling marijuana and drug abuse.
