Latif Latif, 24, pleaded guilty at the Victorian County Court to trafficking a commercial quantity of cocaine – which is punishable by a mandatory jail term. They seized deal bags of coke, a small safe, four phones, a set of scales as well as $380 cash. In sentencing on 5 July, judge Gabriele Cannon noted there was no direct evidence of Latif selling cocaine but it was “obvious” that was his motivation. However there was not much evidence for this, Judge Cannon said. Judge Cannon noted Latif was anxious about being potentially deported as a result of his crime.
