Operation Encyclic & Operation Encyclical: Prosecution case to lie on file

Operation Encyclic & Operation Encyclical were the product of several years of police investigations into drug trafficking involving at least 76 EnroChat-enabled devices.

A jury was hung when it considered the case against Abigail’s lay client who had not given evidence. 

A re-trial had reached the end of a second week when the Prosecution informed the Court and the parties that it no longer asked the second jury to carry on considering the case against Abigail’s lay client.  The Prosecution duly indicated at that stage that it would ask for its case to lie on the Court’s file against that defendant.

Last Wednesday, the Prosecution asked a judge to let its case against Abigail’s lay client lie on the Court’s file.

The sentencing exercise for co-defendants had occupied three consecutive days.
