Penny Muir recently represented an Albanian client at the Central Criminal Court who, together with eight other men of Albanian, Russian and Lithuanian origin, was charged with conspiracy to supply a substantial quantity of cocaine.

Penny's client pleaded not guilty along with one other defendant. The first trial took place at the Central Criminal Court in December 2013, and the jury convicted the co-defendant but were unable to reach a verdict on Penny's client. On a re-trial in January 2014, Penny's client was tried again, and this time was acquitted.

This was a difficult case with a great deal of telephone and observation evidence. The trial was very carefully prepared, and the client was ably represented by Christopher Surtees-Jones, counsel from 4 Breams Buildings instructed by Penny to conduct the trial. The client was naturally delighted at the outcome.
