UAE Drug Crimes

 

In the United Arab Emirates (UAE), drug offenses are met with unwavering resolve. Our law firm stands at the forefront, advising clients on navigating the intricate legal landscape surrounding narcotics. From importation to possession, we leave no room for compromise.

 

Key Points:

 

Federal Decree-Law No. 30 of 2021: The UAE enforces stringent legislation against drug-related activities. This comprehensive law covers prohibited substances, criminalized actions, and severe penalties.

No Personal Use Exception: Regardless of quantity or intent, any possession of illegal drugs is a criminal offense.

Burden of Proof: The mere presence of drugs or paraphernalia serves as evidence of guilt.

Extraterritorial Application: UAE nationals and residents can be prosecuted for offenses committed abroad.

Rehabilitation Programs: Our commitment extends beyond legal representation; we advocate for rehabilitation and treatment programs for drug offenders.

Stay Informed: Dive into Section Two of the narcotic law—a crucial read on the prohibition of dealing in narcotics, psychotropic substances, and their production.
