Opening Statement

Robert was arrested November the 11th 2015 in Spain in relation to 1.3 tonnes of cocaine from Venezuela to Paris, the drugs arrived on a commercial flight carried via Air France hidden inside 31 suitcases that were allocated to false names. Robert was presented with an international arrest warrant ordered by a French investigation Judge in Paris. The warrant stated that the French judge was in possession of a CD recording where Robert claimed to be the owner of the 1.3 tonnes of cocaine. This turned out to be a lie, Robert accepted extradition without a legal fight because he knew the recording must be false, he was railroaded through the French justice system who found him guilty and sentenced him to 22 years in prison with a 2/3 security cap without any proof whatsoever, for you to understand this we will have to go over all the events leading up to Robert's arrest. You may well have read many stories online before but after reading this you will understand what the French media, UK and Spain have written is mostly false. Even what was said during the trials was false due to lack of correct interpretation by the French courts, some of this was due to the poor translation of the different languages.

We would like to thank you for reading the story of this case, we're aware of the length of it but hopefully after reading our work, you will see the injustice that has been dealt to Robert Dawes in the courts of France.
