Renowned music producer Dallas Austin has been sentenced to four years in jail for possessing cocaine and an MDM drug.
Austin's lawyer Mohammad Al Redha told Gulf News he would be seeking an appeal on behalf of his client as soon as he receives the verdict sheet.
Austin was travelling to Dubai to attend the birthday party of supermodel Naomi Campbell when he was arrested last month.
The 34-year-old American, who has worked with a string of big names in the music business, among them Madonna and Anastacia, will be deported after serving his sentence.
