Tank Jowett successfully argued a submission of no case to answer in the multi-million-pound money laundering trial, Operation Tobaccophil, which was linked to the 70-kilo importation of cocaine and heroin.

While the co-defendants were all convicted, the trial judge was persuaded by legal arguments based on the G&F line of authorities relating to inferences, resulting in our client being cleared of all charges.

The defence team was led by partners Baljit Tank and Adnan Hussain, with Tim Forte of 3 Temple Garden Chambers representing the client in court.
