The Court of Appeal has refused Raul Tabares Garcia’s appeal against the High Court’s refusal to grant him bail. The court agreed he was unlikely to attend his trial if released.

Garcia, a Spanish national accused of conspiring to import drugs worth more than €13,000 between 27 February and 14 March 2024, remains charged. Seven co-accused have pleaded guilty and were sentenced to a combined 70 years in prison last December.
