R v BF
BF was charged with ‘attempting to possess a commercial quantity of unlawfully imported border controlled drug, namely Methyl amphetamine’ contrary to the Criminal Code (Cth) 1995. This is a very serious offence that carries a maximum term of imprisonment of 25 years. The amount of Methylamphetamine in question was over 40kg.
Christopher Cole represented BF and a plea of guilty was entered. Ian McLachlan was instructed as Counsel and the matter came before the Sydney District Court. BF was sentenced to four years with an option for parole. This was an outstanding result for BF considering the severity of the charge and the amount of the controlled drug in question.
