£10m Everton cannabis farm
case adjourned because of lack of interpreter
A court case against four men arrested after a £10m
cannabis farm was discovered in Everton could not go ahead because there was no
interpreter.
Nam Van Le, 49, Nam Van Ntuyen, 36, Thanh Duc Dong,
49, and Doan Xuan Quynh, 39, were due to appear at Liverpool Crown Court this
morning.
But the court heard a Vietnamese-speaking
interpreter was not available to attend the preliminary hearing.
Judge Neil Flewitt, QC, decided not to produce the
men via video link from HMP Liverpool, as he said little progress could be made
if they did not understand proceedings.
Van Le, 49, of Jason Street, Everton, and Van
Ntuyen, Dong and Quynh, all of no fixed address, are charged with production of
cannabis.
Judge Neil Flewitt, QC, adjourned the case until
July 10 and remanded all four men in custody.
