Vic: Bail refused for Mokbel brother
MELBOURNE, Dec 4 AAP - The brother of alleged murderer Tony Mokbel has been refused
bail for the second time this year.
Horty Mokbel, 45, was committed to stand trial on Wednesday on drugs charges.
Mokbel applied for bail, on Thursday, arguing his two years in custody constituted
exceptional circumstances.
Melbourne magistrate Peter White refused the application saying exceptional circumstances
had not been met.
Mokbel is alleged to have trafficked a large commercial quantity of methylamphetamines
between April 2006 and April 2007.
He is also alleged to have possessed equipment for the manufacture of drugs.
Mokbel will appear in the Supreme Court for a directions hearing on December 18.
Magistrate Amanda Chambers refused bail for similar reasons in October.
