Court Sentensed 4 Years Imprisonment To The Citizen Who Was Accused In Possessing Drugs

The Court of Appeals presided over by Judge Hani Al-Hamdan overturned the verdict issued by the Criminal Court which sentenced a Kuwaiti citizen to fouryear imprisonment with hard labor. The court instead decided to refrain from pronouncing penalty against the citizen who was accused for possessing drugs and intoxicants. According to the case file, the Public Prosecution accused the suspect of possessing hashish and intoxicants, and driving under narcotic influence. During investigations, the suspect denied all allegations directed at him by the Public Prosecution. The defense counsel Lawyer Bushra Al-Hindal said the procedures of searching and arresting her client were illegal, stressing on the contradictions in the testimony of the incident officer after he was re-interrogated based on the lawyer’s request.
