Victoria's Court of Appeal has quashed Tony Mokbel's conviction for cocaine importation as a result of the Lawyer X scandal.
Gangland barrister Nicola Gobbo represented Mokbel while also providing information to Victoria Police.
The court today quashed a conviction for importing a commercial quantity of cocaine, one of several convictions Mokbel is appealing.
President of the Court of Appeal, Justice Chris Maxwell, said the court would decide at a later date whether it would order Mokbel to face a fresh trial over the allegations.
But Commonwealth prosecutors have revealed even if the court orders a retrial on the charges, they will not go ahead with the trial.
More to come.
