Criminal Law FAQs
What are the penalties for drug-related offenses in the UAE?
Drug-related offenses in the UAE are treated with extreme severity. Penalties can include long prison sentences, heavy fines, and even the death penalty for drug trafficking. The UAE has strict laws under Federal Law No. 14 of 1995, which covers the possession, use, trafficking, and manufacturing of narcotics and psychotropic substances. Even possession of small amounts can lead to severe punishment, including mandatory minimum sentences.
Can a criminal case be withdrawn in the UAE?
Yes, a criminal case in the UAE can be withdrawn, but this typically requires the approval of the relevant authorities. For a criminal action to lapse due to withdrawal, the victim must formally withdraw their complaint. If there are multiple victims, the case can only be withdrawn when all victims agree to withdraw their complaints. Additionally, certain legal procedures must be followed to formalize the withdrawal.
What is the role of plea bargains in the UAE criminal justice system?
The UAE’s new Criminal Procedures Law, introduced in 2022, has implemented the concept of plea bargains. This allows the public prosecution to offer defendants reduced penalties in exchange for admitting guilt for specific crimes. The aim of this system is to expedite legal proceedings and encourage defendants to take responsibility for their actions, potentially reducing the severity of the punishment.
