Member of the royal family sentenced for child neglect: It was revealed that he used cocaine

In London, the capital of England, a decision was made in the child neglect case involving 32-year-old Mahrah Al Nahyan, who belongs to the Abu Dhabi royal family by marriage.

In the incident that took place in June, Al Nahyan was found unconscious on the pavement with an unconscious man next to her. Meanwhile, it was determined that the 3-year-old child he was responsible for was playing barefoot near the road with heavy vehicle traffic.

Citizens in the area noticed the child and informed the police and took the little child to a safe area.

According to the information presented to the court, it was revealed that Al Nahyan had used cocaine in the days before the incident.

It was stated that Al Nahyan, who did not come to his senses for about 30 minutes after the police teams reached the scene, reacted to those around him when he regained consciousness.

Al Nahyan reportedly said to people trying to help him, "This is not a slaughterhouse, why are you so interested? Why are you so worried?" He was reported to have shouted.

During the police search, drug-related materials were found in Al Nahyan's bags, but no illegal drugs were seized.

CHILD NEGLIGENCE PENALTY FROM THE COURT

In the case heard at Southwark Crown Court in London, Al Nahyan admitted the charge of child neglect.

Prosecutor Rio Pahlavanpour said that an eyewitness noticed the little boy without shoes and with a scooter next to him, very close to moving vehicles.

It was also stated in the court that while the child was running after a piece of paper, he turned towards the road and was stopped by a person nearby.

Judge Johnson emphasized that Al Nahyan's leaving the child unattended while under the influence of drugs created a serious danger.

Stating that if it were not for the intervention of the people around, the child could have been seriously injured, lost or exposed to the harmful behavior of other people, the judge stated that Al Nahyan disregarded the child's safety.

The court issued a two-year community supervision order for Al Nahyan, which includes a rehabilitation obligation. He was also ordered to pay a fine of £5,000 and court costs of £1,000.

HE RECEIVES A MONTHLY PAYMENT OF 8 THOUSAND POUNDS

It was shared in the court that Al Nahyan is a member of the Abu Dhabi royal family, which is considered one of the wealthiest dynasties in the world, by marriage and that he receives a monthly allowance of 8 thousand pounds sterling from his family.

The royal family's total wealth is estimated to exceed £250 billion.

Al Nahyan's lawyer, Stephen Vullo, said that his client greatly regrets the incident and is receiving treatment to get rid of drug addiction.

His lawyer said, "He made a very serious mistake that day and he is aware of it."

It was reported that Al Nahyan started addiction treatment at the rehabilitation center called Priory after the incident.
