Police alleged that they observed a male exchange items with our client who was the driver of a vehicle.
Police then conducted a search of our client and the vehicle. Police alleged to have located multiple clear reasonable bags containing white powder. Police also alleged located thousands of dollars of Australian currency.
Our client was placed under arrest and conveyed to Surry Hills Police Station where he was refused police bail and was placed into custody.
Our client was charged with the following:
- Two counts of supply prohibited drug under Section 25(1) of the Drug Misuse and Trafficking Act 1985.
The maximum penalty for each of these offences is 15 years imprisonment and a fine of $220,000.
- Possess prohibited drug under Section 10(1) of the Drug Misuse and Trafficking Act 1985.
The maximum penalty for this offence is 2 years imprisonment and a fine of $2200.
- Deal with property proceeds of crime under Section 193C(1) of the Crimes Act 1900.
The maximum penalty for this offence is 5 years imprisonment.
Facing a number of serious charges, our client knew he had to contact the best lawyers for the job. Fortunately, our client contacted the Oxford Lawyers Parramatta Office where he retained Principal Solicitor and Accredited Criminal Law Specialist Mr Zemarai Khatiz.
Mr Khatiz appeared before Parramatta Bail Courts where he made strong submissions on behalf of our client to be released on bail. Mr Khatiz prepared for the matter and provided the Magistrate with a number of bail conditions that would mitigate the bail concerns.
The Magistrate held that the submissions and bail conditions put forth by Mr Khatiz quelled the bail concerns the Court would have if our client was released on bail. This meant that our client was granted bail and was released from custody!
Our client was thrilled with this result as it meant that he can continue living his life within the community during his criminal proceedings.
