The High Criminal Court sentenced three defendants, including a Bahraini woman and a Moroccan woman, to 15 years in prison each and fined each BD10,000 for drug trafficking. The court also ordered the confiscation of seized items and the deportation of the Moroccan defendant.
According to investigations, the first defendant allegedly arranged drug shipments from East Asia to a Gulf country, with the Bahraini defendant collecting and bringing them into Bahrain through the causeway. The Moroccan defendant was accused of helping process cannabis and allowing her bank account to be used for a money transfer linked to the operation.
Police arrested the first defendant in Juffair after obtaining a warrant and seized processed cannabis, cannabis-filled electronic cigarettes, Lyrica pills and other items. The defendants admitted various roles in the operation during questioning, according to the investigation.
