KUWAIT CITY, Oct 5:  When a Kuwaiti drug dealer was produced before the Criminal Court he admitted to bringing in 50 kilograms of hashish by sea, reports Al-Rai daily.

When the judge asked him if he admitted to bringing in the drugs, he said, “Yes, I am a drug dealer and I am the one who brought these drugs into the country via the sea. I know that I will be put to death or put behind bars for life. I am now 50 years old, and I want to say that the rest of the three defendants who are no more than 20 years old had no knowledge of drugs. I took advantage of their youth and their need for money since they were bedoun and unemployed.

“I was previously imprisoned on charges of drug trafficking,” he added. The court has set another date to issue a verdict in the case.
