This case involved a client who was investigated for violating the Narcotics Control Act by importing 1 kg of opium poppy seeds via international courier.
Simon strongly argued that the client was a first-time offender and had a lack of awareness about the nature of the substance, as the seeds were purchased through Coupang, a major online marketplace.
The investigative authorities accepted these arguments, and in an unusual decision for drug-related offenses, granted the client a suspension of indictment.
