The Suva High Court will deliver its judgement in Joshua Aziz Rahman's $31 million drug trial on the 12th of April.
Rahman was allegedly found in possession of 39.5kg of cocaine in Caubati in February 2019.
Assistant Director of Public Prosecutions, Dr. Andrew Jack and Rahman's lawyer Devanesh Sharma delivered their closing submissions in court today.
Dr. Andrew Jack said that Rahman did not deny the police referring to the Caubati house as Rahman's home and he did not say anything in that regard.
He said that it is clear from the evidence that Rahman and his father were in control of the house.
Dr. Jack said that Rahman was released before he was re-arrested for the drugs and it is untrue that Rahman was not released from police custody on the 15th of February.
He said that Rahman must be punished for his crime.
Meanwhile, Rahman's lawyer, Devanesh Sharma submitted that no drugs were found in Rahman's room and Rahman had no knowledge of the drugs in the master bedroom.
He said that no direct evidence were produced in court that proves that Rahman had knowledge of the drugs in the room.
Sharma said that a police investigator had also told the court that no fingerprints were taken during the raid on the property.
He also said that there was no evidence of an enterprise between Rahman and his father and this evidence could have been obtained by checking Rahman's phone.
He said that Rahman was not even in the house when the raid was conducted.
Sharma said that no investigation was done to determine where the drugs came from and the police let a sitting golden duck go by not finding this out or by asking the 2 men who were also charged with drug smuggling in Australia.
He also said that Rahman was kept in custody for more than 48 hours and the station diary was not produced in court as evidence.
Sharma said Rahman must be acquitted.
