Court Acquits Prisoner Who Was Accused Of Attempting To Take 251 Kg Of Hashish Into The Prison

The Criminal Court presided over by Judge Waleed Al-Kandari acquitted an inmate of the Central Jail who was accused of attempting to take 251 kg of hashish into the prison. According to the prosecution, the incident occurred in January 2016 when an antinarcotics police officer was contacted by one of his informants who said an inmate wanted to buy 251 kg of hashish and had asked the informant to arrange KD 37,000 for the shipment, which was coming from the Gulf Sea. The officer told the informant to go ahead with the request so that the individual who delivers the shipment can be caught red-handed. The entire mission was coordinated through a phone used by the inmate inside the jail. During the court session, Lawyer Talal Saber, who was representing the inmate, insisted that the investigations did not present any evidences that linked his client with the narcotics, indicating that the prosecution only depended on the testimony by the arresting officer. He added that his client denied any involvement in the issue throughout the investigations.
