Prosecutors are applying to seize the $4 million sum drug lord Tony Mokbel had made selling drugs. The money was made while Mokbel was on the run from his cocaine trial between July 2006 and Jun 2007.
Mokbel had run his speed business as a legitimate business, naming it The Company and detailing his accounting in a ledger document called Raymond Wiel. The money was used to pay for his trip to Greece on a luxury yacht and filled his overseas bank accounts to finance his life there. He was extradited from Greece in 2008 on drug trafficking charges.
The Court heard last week that Mokbel, who has not been given legal representation, had not received the affidavit informing him of the court order application. The application will be postponed until October 20 to allow Mokbel to read through the documents.
Mokbel pleaded guilty to drug trafficking charges and is due to face a pre-sentence hearing later this month.
