Acquittals for clients charged with assisting organised criminals

Yesterday, at Croydon Crown court and following a 6-week trial, Julian Winship and Ben Gordon secured acquittals for their respective clients, both of whom were charged with assisting the activities of organised criminals.

The investigation included a surveillance operation which persisted for over a year, and which monitored the work being done at a vehicle repair yard. The defendants were an automotive electrician and a vehicle trader and had been accused of working together to modify vehicles with the installation of hidden compartments.

Julian Winship was instructed and expertly assisted by Andrew Dart at Brady Eastwood Pierce and Stewart Solicitors, Ben Gordon was instructed and expertly assisted by Adrian Gillan at Clarke Kiernan Solicitors
