In December 2021, our client was charged with importing a commercial quantity of border-controlled drugs, specifically 2.5 kilograms of cocaine, contrary to s 307.1(1) of the Criminal Code Act 1995. This offence carries a maximum penalty of life imprisonment.
Our client proceeded to bail in the Supreme Court of New South Wales.
The judge accepted our criminal lawyers’ submission that the prosecution did not have a strong case against our client and agreed to release our client on conditional bail.
