Tony Mokbel is taking the gamble and looking at changing his plea from guilty to not guilty after it was revealed by Victorian Police that the search warrants used to obtain evidence in the case against him are invalid.
The barrister for Mokbel told the Victorian Supreme Court on Thursday that the 40 warrants used to search Mokbel’s premises are invalid because they weren’t properly sworn.
The courts have allowed Mokbel’s lawyer a further three weeks to investigate the matter which will return to court on December 15.
