The Criminal Court has denied ordering the deportation of two Pakistani nationals arrested in connection with the smuggling of 24kg of heroin in March.
Citing police, local media reported this week that the court had ordered the deportation of the pair.
The Criminal Court however refuted the claims in a press statement released yesterday (July 2), noting that ordering the deportation of foreign nationals was outside the court’s jurisdiction.
Media reports to the contrary were “based on false information,” the court said.
