Paul Raudnitz was instructed by CPS Special Casework as leading counsel (junior was Tim Naylor) to prosecute this complex five-handed international drugs and money laundering conspiracy.
K was an alleged professional drugs dealer, accused of dealing in cannabis and cocaine (including importation from Europe) and laundering large sums of money back to Europe. The other defendants were variously alleged to be K’s assistants with either the drugs or money laundering dimensions of the alleged commercial enterprise.
There was extensive surveillance, cell-site and telephone evidence, including evidence from an undercover operation in Rotterdam.
