Drug Offence Specialists – Strategic Defence in Complex Cases
Drug allegations don’t just threaten prison sentences – they destroy businesses, freeze assets, and can result in deportation for non-UK citizens.
We specialise in defending the most serious and complex drug cases:
- Conspiracy to supply controlled drugs
- Drug importation operations
- Possession with intent to supply
- Production and cultivation offences
The Reality of Modern Drug Investigations
Today’s drug cases involve international operations, sophisticated surveillance, and evidence that spans multiple countries. What starts as a routine stop can quickly escalate into allegations of running international trafficking networks worth millions.
The consequences go far beyond criminal penalties:
- Asset freezing under Proceeds of Crime Act
- Business closure and director disqualification
- Immigration consequences for foreign nationals
- Professional licence revocation
- Family breakdown under investigation pressure
Fraser Masood's Track Record
R v B: Drug Importation Acquittal – Successfully defended trafficking victim forced to swallow over 1kg of cocaine, securing full acquittal through modern slavery defence at Isleworth Crown Court.
Our approach recognised that our client was exploited, not criminal. Through expert evidence on South American cartel operations and coercion tactics, we demonstrated she was a victim of trafficking rather than a willing participant.
Why Drug Cases Require Specialists
These cases involve complex evidence that generic solicitors can’t handle:
International Elements: Cross-border investigations, extradition requests, foreign evidence coordination
Technical Evidence: Encrypted communications, cell-site tracking, digital forensics, surveillance analysis
Modern Slavery Defences: Trafficking indicators, exploitation evidence, coercion documentation
Asset Recovery Challenges: POCA proceedings, benefit calculations, legitimate income proof
The Fraser Masood Strategy
We don’t accept prosecution narratives – we challenge everything:
- Digital evidence reliability and attribution challenges
- Drug valuation and purity disputes through expert analysis
- Network role minimisation and alternative explanations
- Modern slavery and exploitation defences where applicable
- Asset protection and POCA challenge coordination
Emergency Response for Complex Cases
Drug investigations move quickly across international boundaries. Early intervention allows us to:
- Protect assets before they’re frozen
- Challenge evidence gathering methods
- Coordinate international defence strategies
- Identify exploitation and trafficking defences
If you’re facing drug allegations, especially with international elements, contact Fraser Masood immediately. These cases require immediate specialist intervention.

Frequently Asked Questions
What if I was just a courier or low-level participant?
Even “minor” roles in drug conspiracies can carry serious sentences. We specialise in demonstrating limited involvement, exploitation, or coercion to minimise your exposure.
Can you help if I'm facing extradition?
Yes. Fraser Masood has experience with international cases and can coordinate defence strategies across multiple jurisdictions while fighting extradition where appropriate.
What about my family's immigration status?
Drug convictions can affect entire families’ immigration status. We work closely with immigration specialists to protect all family members’ positions.
How do you challenge digital evidence?
We work with leading digital forensics experts to challenge phone attribution, message interpretation, location data accuracy, and communication timeline analysis.
Can police seize my assets before conviction?
Yes, through restraint orders and account freezing under POCA. We challenge these immediately to protect family homes, business assets, and essential funds for legal representation and living expenses.
What's a modern slavery defence in drug cases?
If you were trafficked, coerced, or exploited into drug activity, you may have a complete defence. We identify trafficking indicators and present expert evidence on coercion, debt bondage, and exploitation patterns.
