Asian Expat Arrested For Trafficking 6kg Of Hashish
The Misdemeanor Court acquitted an Asian expatriate of trafficking 6kg of hashish from a GCC country through Kuwait International Airport for sale. The case file indicated the Public Prosecution Department charged the defendant of trafficking illicit substance after customs officers at the airport spotted the suspect in a disoriented state and went ahead to conduct thorough search of his luggage. They discovered blue substance neatly packed in two envelopes and carefully hidden inside crackers underneath his clothes, but the defendant denied ownership of the substance. In his defense, lawyer Esmat Al- Kharbutli argued in court that documents presented against her client did not contain any verifiable evidence. She explained another person gave her client the bag to be delivered to another person in Kuwait, indicating he had knowledge of the crackers only. She accused the officer of arresting her client wrongly without warrant, although the allegation was not proven beyond doubt.
