Organised Crime

Organised crime prosecutions are among the most complex a person can face, often involving multiple co-defendants, extensive surveillance and interception evidence, and charges brought under specific organised crime provisions in addition to substantive offending such as drug supply or manufacture.

Harry Redwood is a criminal defence barrister based in Auckland with experience acting in complex, multi-defendant prosecutions involving allegations of organised criminal activity.

The nature of these cases

Organised crime cases typically involve significant volumes of disclosure, including intercepted communications, surveillance evidence, and financial records connecting multiple defendants to alleged criminal activity. These cases often run over an extended period and require careful, coordinated case management, particularly where multiple co-defendants and legal teams are involved.

Key issues

  • Whether participation in an organised criminal group can be established
  • The admissibility and reliability of intercepted communications and surveillance evidence
  • How individual roles are distinguished within a wider alleged conspiracy
  • Case management and disclosure across multi-defendant proceedings

Why experienced representation matters

Given the scale and complexity of these prosecutions, experienced representation is essential, both in managing the volume of evidence involved and in ensuring your individual position within a wider case is properly and separately advocated for, rather than being treated as indistinguishable from co-defendants.
