Tony Mokbel
Tony Mokbel, a notorious Australian drug kingpin, has been incarcerated since 2007 after being arrested in Greece while evading law enforcement. He was convicted in 2012 for orchestrating a major drug trafficking operation, receiving a 30-year prison sentence with a non-parole period of 22 years. Recently, Mokbel has sought to have his convictions overturned, citing the controversial Lawyer X scandal, which revealed that his former barrister was secretly working as a police informant. His current bail application marks a significant moment, as it could lead to his first taste of freedom in nearly 18 years.
