Visitor concealed the banned substance inside a box with other foodstuffs
An African woman was found with 6 kilograms of khat leaves in her possession at Dubai International Airport.
The visitor concealed the narcotic plant inside a box of bananas and foodstuffs.
Customs officers noticed her and became suspicious of a heavy box brought by the convict.
The Dubai Criminal Court found her guilty, sentenced her to 10 years in prison, and fined her Dh50,000. The court also ordered the authorities to deport her after completion of her prison term.
The police record show that the incident took place in April, when a customs inspector at Dubai Airport suspected the African lady.
According to the inspector’s statement, the box she was carrying seemed abnormally heavy when the luggage went through the x-ray machine.
The inspector stopped the woman after she collected the luggage and searched the belongings. He found bananas and various foodstuffs along with khat leaves weighing 6 kilograms.
