Two-Year Jail Term for Man Driving Under Influence of Illegal Drugs in Dubai

In Dubai, a 41-year-old Gulf citizen has been sentenced to two years in prison and a six-month suspension of his driving license for driving under the influence of illegal drugs. The incident occurred at the intersection of Beirut Street in Dubai, where the defendant, allegedly under the influence of psychotropic substances, collided with another vehicle and crashed into a traffic signal. Two people were injured in the incident. The accused was found in an “abnormal” condition, leading to suspicions of drug influence. Lab tests confirmed the presence of psychotropic substances. The judgment was based on the accused’s confession, technical reports, and charges including driving under drug influence and causing harm and property damage.
