James Thomas McGrogan defence lawyer says accused 'knew nothing about any illegality or any drugs in that car'
A Belfast man awaiting trial on drugs charges linked to the encrypted Encrochat network was refused bail today .
Raising the issue of delay, Mr Thompson said the 13 Encrochat-linked drugs charges levelled at his client - which include possessing cocaine with intent to supply - date back to 2020. She said McGrogan was granted bail on the Encrochat charges with conditions imposed in March 2022 - but said he was arrested and charged with further drugs offences a year later whilst on bail.
After being charged with further drugs offences, he was returned to custody - but McGrogan’s barrister said he has denied these charges.
