latest first- Syrian refugee jailed for three years over €400,000 cannabis smuggling at Dublin Airport Drug importation · Co. Dublin
Mohamad Alaha, a 20-year-old Syrian man, was arrested by gardaí at Dublin Airport after arriving on a flight on 26 April 2025, when his bag was found on a customs scanner to contain vacuum packs of cannabis worth an estimated €404,560. He made full admissions when interviewed and came to the Circuit Criminal Court on a signed plea of breaches of Section 15A of the Misuse of Drugs Act 1977. The court set a headline sentence of six years, reduced to an effective sentence of three years, and granted the state a destruction order for the cannabis. The latest development, reported on 14 January 2026, is that sentence.
