 The General Directorate of Drug Enforcement arrested an African drug trafficker.

After officials approved his detention, the Public Prosecution authorized a home search.

During the search, several rolls, envelopes, and capsules containing medications were found.

Looks like someone's drug empire just got downsized by 2800 grams of meth, 1800 grams of heroin, and 200 grams of hashish.

OMG, he totally confessed to the charges during the interrogation! The confiscated items were handed over to the Public Prosecution for the necessary legal action .

Crime and punishment in Qatar

500 ,000 qatari rial fine (137326.93 USD ) and life imprisonment was the sentence of the expat resident of Qatar who was trading in illicit drugs .He was caught as he tried to enter Qatar at Abu Samra border .
And now comes the absurd part of the sentence
:"Criminal Court also ordered his subsequent deportation after
serving the prison term"
He got life imprisonment ...

life sentence for trading amphetamine pills

Three persons were sentenced for possessing and trying to trade amphetamine pills in Doha .One of them got life sentence the others 15 and 10 years .They possessed more than 201,000 amphetamine pills .
Their nationality was not mentioned but we can guess that they were expats as the court talks about their deportations after the prison terms ...Yet, there is one thing I do not understand ... how can someone be deported when he got life sentence ?
What life does sentence mean in Qatar ?
