DUBAI // An American tourist has appeared before the Dubai Criminal Court accused of possessing 60 millilitres of Codeine and 76 grammes of poppy seeds.
The 28-year-old was charged with smuggling and possessing drugs for personal use.
Prosecutors said that on April 14 this year he was arrested at Dubai International airport after customs officers became suspicious of a bottle containing pink liquid in his luggage.
The tourist’s bags were searched and two boxes containing poppy seeds were found. He was referred to the anti-narcotics department while the substances were sent to the criminal lab, which confirmed they were illegal drugs.
The next hearing will be in July.
