The Criminal Court, Second Circuit, sentenced a Kuwaiti national to life imprisonment and fined her 50,000 dinars, after convicting her of trafficking in psychotropic substances, using them, and driving a vehicle under their influence. The court also ordered the suspension of her driver’s license for one year.
The ruling followed investigations conducted by officers from the General Administration for Combating Narcotics, which uncovered the suspect’s activities and raised suspicions of her involvement in trafficking psychotropic substances. A sting operation was subsequently carried out, resulting in her arrest. Further investigative procedures revealed that she possessed the substances in question and had been using them.
