CLIENT ACQUITTED OF MONEY LAUNDERING & DRUGS CONSPIRACY

Bark & Co successfully defended our client from allegations of money laundering and conspiracy to produce cannabis. Our client was exonerated of all charges after a robust defence strategy rebuked links to involvement in a major drugs factory warehouse run by a Chinese organised crime gang,

In the matter of  R-v-Z & Others heard in Leeds Crown Court last September, our client faced allegations of both money laundering and also conspiracy to produce cannabis.

The Crown alleged involvement in the major drugs factory warehouse where 3,000 cannabis plants had been discovered growing in a warehouse unit on an industrial estate in the York area. It was alleged that the potential yield from these plants was over 72 kilograms of cannabis with a potential street value of up to £400,000.  There was also evidence that a previous cannabis crop or crops had been grown at the premises. Following a trial the defendant was acquitted on both counts.
