Overview
- District Judge Sam Goozee is due to rule at Westminster Magistrates’ Court following a two-day trial held in October.
- Robinson, 42, pleads not guilty to failing to provide his iPhone PIN after a Channel Tunnel stop on July 28 last year.
- Prosecutors say officers were concerned by his demeanour and notoriety for associating with far-right activists and believed his phone could contain terrorism-relevant material.
- The court heard he had about £13,370 and €1,910 in cash, was in a high-value car not registered to him, and booked travel on the day, details cited to explain the stop.
- The defence argues the stop was unlawful and discriminatory and asserts the device held protected journalistic material, with a conviction carrying up to three months in custody or a fine.
