Reports Say YouTuber Simon Desue Detained in Dubai on Suspected Drug Possession

The claims rest on tabloid sourcing, unconfirmed by UAE authorities or the influencer's representatives.

Overview

  • German outlets cite Bild in reporting that Desue was taken into custody in September at his Dubai villa with model Juliana S. present.
  • An acquaintance quoted in the coverage alleges police found a larger quantity of a liquid drug at the residence.
  • The reports say he is being held on suspicion of drug possession and could face deportation under UAE law.
  • The articles note Dubai’s strict narcotics penalties, including minimum four-year prison terms even for small amounts of cannabis.
  • Desue has not commented publicly, and he was previously acquitted in a 2020 Hamburg case related to a counterfeit-money claim.
