Two clients were charged with Possession of Fraudulent Credit Cards, Fraudulently Possess Credit Card Data and Possession of Credit Card Forgery Device. The charges were withdrawn as against both individuals after several meetings with the Crown where I was successful in persuading the Crown that there was no reasonable prospect of conviction.
