Known Israeli criminal Khalil Dasuki could be facing a death sentence as he awaits the Emirati court verdict on his attempted smuggling of $136 million worth of cocaine.
His trial, taking place in Dubai, opened last week, N12 reported.
Dasuki, a Lod resident, was arrested in October after Dubai police caught Dasuki and 500 kgs. of pure cocaine hidden within a cargo container.
Dasuki already confessed and pleaded guilty to the drug trafficking charges, police in the UAE said.
