The Doha Criminal Court sentenced an Asian expatriate to five years in jail and fined him QR200,000 for possessing illicit drugs for trade purposes, Gulf Times reported. He will subsequently be deported.

It is understood that the man used to sell marijuana at the Industrial Area. Undercover agents conducted investigations and confirmed the rumour. A raid of his accommodation in the Industrial Area yielded 16 packets of marijuana hidden under his bed.

It is understood that he had a stash of over 2.5kg of the drug.
