The accused faced charges of conspiracy to import and traffic cocaine, possession for the purpose of trafficking, and importing a Schedule 1 substance.
In a reverse onus bail hearing, the Crown sought detention on primary, secondary, and tertiary grounds.
The court found the accused met his burden on all grounds, noting his lack of criminal record, a strong surety release plan with a substantial financial pledge, and weaknesses in the Crown's case, which relied heavily on the uncorroborated statements of a co-accused.
The accused was granted release on strict conditions including house arrest and surety supervision.
