Kuljeet Singh Dobe Criminal and Financial Crime Barrister

SS was found Not Guilty of being knowingly concerned in the supply of class A & B drugs between January and September 2023. He admitted being involved in a drugs enterprise but advanced a Modern Slavery defence based on being in “debt bondage” to drug dealers. The jury was told about his 2 previous convictions for drug dealing. After less than 2 hours of deliberation, he was unanimously acquitted at Isleworth Crown Court.

SS was represented by Kuljeet Dobe. Instructed by Tank Jowett Solicitors.
