​

What does “conspiracy to supply drugs” means?

​

A conspiracy is an agreement between two or more people to commit an unlawful act. In this context, the unlawful act is the planning and/or carrying out of the supply of illegal drugs. Whether the agreement is fulfilled or not is irrelevant, the intention to do so is sufficient to see you charged.

​

Any mere involvement in the planning or carrying out of the conspiracy could result in you being prosecuted for conspiracy to supply drugs. For example, giving a lift to a person carrying out the act of supplying drugs is potentially an offence.

​

A conspiracy to supply can refer to the supply of drugs with the intention to gain profit; however, it also refers to simply passing on illegal substances to another. For example, you can be charged with conspiracy to supply if you distribute drugs to friends without making any profit.

​

Class A drugs includes heroin, crack cocaine, LSD, ecstasy, crystal meth, magic mushrooms to name a few.

​

Class B drugs are usually less harmful than class A drugs. They include cannabis, amphetamines, barbiturate, codeine and ketamine, for example.

​

What happens to me if I am found guilty?

​

The burden of proof rests on the Prosecution. For you to be found guilty of conspiracy to supply drugs, the Prosecution must prove that:

• You were aware that the drugs were being supplied,

• You acted on that knowledge.

​​

If you are found guilty of conspiracy to supply Class A drugs, the maximum sentence that can be imposed is life imprisonment.

If you are found guilty of conspiracy to supply Class B drugs, the sentence will be lesser than for Class A drugs. The maximum sentence that can be imposed is 14 years imprisonment.

​

However, the Judge will refer to the Sentencing Guidelines and take into account various factors, such as your role in the conspiracy. There are three roles that the judge will refer to: leading role, significant role and lesser role.

​

The quantity of drugs involved in the conspiracy will also affect your sentence. Large-scale drugs operations will be treated with more severity than the supply of drugs to a few friends for personal use.

​

We can also mitigate on your behalf and invite the Judge to take into account your personal circumstances, for example:

• Whether you are a vulnerable person;

• Whether you were forced to take part in the conspiracy;

• Whether you cooperated with the Police investigation;

• Whether you benefited from the conspiracy.
