Commission of a drug offence connected with an organised group active in multiple states

Martin Murad·

Collaborating with an organised group whose distribution and courier operations span different countries triggers the enhanced penalty under § 283(3)(c) of the Criminal Code.

Committing a drug offence in connection with an organised group active in multiple states (§ 283(3)(c) Criminal Code) is fulfilled where the offender collaborates with such a group even if the group's distribution and courier operations occur in different countries. Participation in cross-border coordination suffices to trigger the enhanced penalty.
