In court, he pleaded earlier not guilty to the charges of bringing and possessing drugs, claiming the cakes were gifts to his friends. He denied being aware of what was inside the cakes.

The Court of First Instance convicted him and ordered him to pay Dh50,000 worth of fine. He will be deported after fulfilling the terms of the court's ruling.
