A QATARI man has been sentenced to 20 years’ imprisonment and fined QR400,000 for using and trading in drugs.

 

 

 

The 28-year-old man was arrested on May 29 last year in the Najma area, according to an anti-drug officer.

The officer said that though nothing was found on the man’s person, he led the police to a place in his house from where three packets of hashish were seized.

Another police officer said that during a search of the house a cache of 20kg of the contraband was found inside an old cupboard.

A medical report, presented in the court, showed that the man was a drug addict.
