flag Tony Mokbel, 60, awaits a ruling on his appeal of drug convictions, claiming his lawyer was also a police informer, which his team says tainted the trial.

flag Tony Mokbel, 60, awaits a ruling from the Victorian Court of Appeal on his appeal against drug convictions, claiming a miscarriage of justice due to barrister Nicola Gobbo’s dual role as a police informer and his lawyer from 2005 to 2009. flag His legal team argues he was misled about the prosecution’s case and that evidence was tainted, while prosecutors say the case remains viable and a retrial could follow if the appeal succeeds. flag Mokbel, released on bail in April after nearly 18 years in prison, faces strict conditions including daily police reporting and a nightly curfew. flag The Court of Appeal’s president previously called the appeal’s chances “very strong.” The decision is expected Friday.
