Joseph Parker's lawyer discusses meth trafficking case

Boxer Joseph Parker is denying any involvement in an international meth trafficking ring and says he has not had a chance to defend himself against the unfounded allegations. Mr Parker was named in evidence in the 2019 trial of three drug dealers who were found guilty and later sentenced to between eight and half and 18 years behind bars. He fought to keep his identity secret but can now be named after the Supreme Court ruled the principles of open justice outweigh any hardship he may face. The boxer was never been charged and a warrant to search his house was never executed. His lawyer is Michael Heron QC. He talks through the details with Lisa Owen.
