An Abu Dhabi criminal court sentenced an Asian man to death after he was convicted of smuggling heroin into the country, newspapers reported on Tuesday.

Police caught the dealer red-handed as he tried to sell 56 heroin capsules for Dh33,600 to a police undercover in the capital.

The unnamed man confessed during interrogation that he had brought the drugs into the UAE from another country.
