flag Tony Mokbel, former Australian drug kingpin, to be freed after retrial dropped due to tainted evidence from informant.

flag Tony Mokbel, the former Australian drug kingpin, is expected to be released as a free man after prosecutors decided not to pursue a retrial on old drug charges. flag The decision follows a court ruling that overturned a key conviction due to compromised evidence from informant Nicola Gobbo, who served as both Mokbel’s lawyer and a police source. flag Although one conviction related to a major methamphetamine operation remains, Mokbel had already served his reduced 13-year, seven-month sentence and was on strict bail since April 2025. flag The case, which stemmed from alleged 2005 plans to import MDMA, has drawn national attention to issues of prosecutorial integrity and informant use.
