Overview

• The Court of Appeal acquitted Tony Mokbel on the Quills charge after finding that conviction could not stand.
• Judges Stephen McLeish, Maree Kennedy and Stephen Kaye ordered a retrial on the Orbital matter involving MDMA trafficking and incitement to import.
• Mokbel’s appeal on the Magnum case, concerning methylamphetamine trafficking, was dismissed.
• His bail was extended, continuing the strict regime imposed after his April release, including curfew and daily police reporting.
• The decision comes in the shadow of Justice Elizabeth Fullerton’s 2024 finding of a joint criminal enterprise involving police and Nicola Gobbo, while Mokbel’s earlier unrelated convictions remain on his record.
