Legal proceedings in the region have addressed various forms of trafficking and smuggling. In Jordan, the Amman Court of Appeal upheld a three-year prison sentence and a 5,000 dinar fine for a man convicted of human trafficking after he lured a victim to Turkey for an unpaid kidney donation.

Subsequently, the Jordanian Court of Cassation upheld several rulings from the State Security Court regarding major drug-related offenses. These cases involved the smuggling and possession of narcotics, including marijuana and hundreds of thousands of Captagon pills. One significant ruling upheld a 15-year sentence for a Syrian national involved in smuggling 750,000 Captagon pills, while an accomplice received a 20-year sentence.
