Trafficking Under VLAD Laws

Potts Lawyers > Our Results  > Drug Offences > Trafficking Under VLAD Laws

Offence/s:

  1. Trafficking in dangerous drugs as a vicious lawless associate

Court Heard:  Brisbane Supreme Court

Maximum Penalty: 25 years imprisonment + mandatory additional 15 years imprisonment served wholly in a correctional centre

Solicitor: Andrew Hanlon

Date: September 2016

Our client was charged with trafficking in dangerous drugs as a vicious lawless associate. Despite being only 20 years old and having no previous criminal history he had been denied bail and at the time we began acting for him was remanded in custody.

Our client had come to police attention as a part of a much larger operation targeting a number of different syndicates and organised crime participants.

We immediately made an application for bail in the Supreme Court and had our client released from custody pending the determination of his charge.

After then conducting a detailed analysis of the evidence relied upon by the prosecution we were able to successfully negotiate to have our clients charges reduced to a number of supply and possession offences.

WARNING:

This is a summary of an actual case. Details have been omitted to protect the privacy of our client. We select cases which are informative and no guarantee is provided that similar results are achievable in all cases. Every case is different and you should obtain legal advice specific to your matter and circumstances.

Our client ultimately plead guilty to the reduced charges and received a wholly suspended sentence of imprisonment, not requiring him to serve any further time in custody.
