A businessman is currently on trial at Harrow crown court, facing accusations of supplying party drugs, including crystal meth and GBL, to London’s chemsex scene.
The prosecution alleges that he used rented storage containers near Brent Cross shopping center to stash over £500,000-worth of illegal substances.
French border officials intercepted a shipment of GBL bottles destined for one of the storage units in April 2020, and later, additional parcels containing bottles of drugs were stopped at Birmingham Airport by the Border Force.
In his police interview, Alikhani denied any knowledge of the substances being illegal drugs, maintaining that he believed GBL to be a cleaning product.
A drugs expert from the retired Met Police highlighted the significance of these messages, indicating successful drug handovers and transactions.
