According to authorities, the defendant had employed highly sophisticated tactics to smuggle the contraband into the country, subsequently attempting to conceal their identity.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"story-block\">\n<p>Upon further examination, the substance haul, weighing an astonishing 48 tonnes and 693 kilograms, was confirmed to be narcotics and psychotropic substances, intended for distribution within the nation.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"story-block\">\n<p>Such activities contravene the Federal Decree-Law No. 30 of 2021 on Combating Narcotics and Psychotropic Substances. In light of this, the Public Prosecution has reaffirmed the punishable nature of these actions under UAE law and encouraged the public to report any suspicious drug-related activities.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"article-nl-wrap\" list=\"211\" title=\"Sign up for the Daily Briefing\" byline=\"Get the latest news and updates straight to your inbox.\">\n    <\/div>\n<div class=\"adv\">\n<div id=\"gulfnews_uae_textad\" data-gpt=\"Gulfnews_TextAd\/gulfnews_uae_textad\" data-atf=\"0\" data-size=\"[320,50]\" data-size-mapping=\"[ [ [ 1024, 500 ], [ [300,250] ] ],[ [ 768, 420], [ [728,90] ] ],[ [640, 320], [ [320,50], [300,250] ] ],[ [0, 0], [ [320,50], [300,250] ] ] ]\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Federal Drug Prosecution investigates Asian suspect in massive narcotics haul in Abu Dhabi Public urged to report suspicious activities as UAE steps up anti-drug trafficking effort Published:\u00a0 August 01, 2023 14:24 Gulf News Report The UAE Federal Drug Prosecution launches an investigation into a suspect of Asian nationality who is accused of smuggling 48 tonnes [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4662,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4661","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cissar.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4661","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cissar.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cissar.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cissar.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cissar.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4661"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/cissar.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4661\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5508,"href":"https:\/\/cissar.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4661\/revisions\/5508"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cissar.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4662"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cissar.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4661"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cissar.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4661"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cissar.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4661"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
