Man in 20s Faces Trial Over Drug Import Cas

A man in his twenties is standing trial for allegedly importing 1.2 kilograms of cannabis with the intent to traffic, as well as possessing marijuana and hashish for personal use.

According to court records, customs authorities intercepted a package arriving from Asia that contained the drugs, which were professionally concealed. The suspect later collected the shipment and admitted ownership before the case was transferred to the Narcotics Control Department.

During investigations, officials searched his residence and discovered additional quantities of drugs, marijuana plants, a container with traces of narcotics, rolling papers, and small plastic bags.

Prosecutors stated that the accused attempted to mislead authorities by changing the recipient’s name on the shipment. Laboratory analysis confirmed that the seized substances included marijuana and hashish. A urine test also returned positive for hashish use.

Authorities further revealed that messages found on the suspect’s mobile phone included communications about ordering drugs and offering them for sale.

The defendant admitted to using the drugs but denied any involvement in trafficking.

The court adjourned the case to March 1 to hear arguments from both the defense and prosecution.
