Bakhos Jalalaty, 45, of Maroota, had offered his marital home near Windsor and $100,000 from his wife's aunt's retirement fund to try to secure his freedom.The founder of DJ's Fine Foods of Blacktown was appearing via a videolink from Parklea jail before magistrate Allan Moore in Central Local Court this afternoon.
Jalalaty was charged earlier this month by federal police with allegedly conspiring with the deputy head of investigations for the NSW Crime Commission, Mark Standen, to import 600 kilograms of pseudoephedrine that was to be used in the manufacture of $30 million worth of the drug ice.The alleged chemicals were to have been hidden in bags of rice in a container shipment from Pakistan that were to be sent to Jalalaty's business.But in refusing bail today, Mr Moore said that "any security being offered is minimal'' to the alleged financial gain that the product was to be sold for. He ordered Jalalaty to reappear before the court on August 6.
Earlier in court, Jalalaty's barrister Greg Jones disputed the clarity of secretly recorded telephone intercepts by federal police, which allegedly reveal a plot by Standen to import the chemicals.Mr Jones told Sydney Central Local court that at least half of the conversations contained on 14 CDs of phone intercepts were "unclear" when he listened to them.
Both Jalalaty and Standen, 51, were also charged with conspiring to supply a prohibited drug and conspiring to pervert the course of justice.
Twelve others have also been arrested in the Netherlands. The alleged go-between in the conspiracy with Standen and Jalalaty, British national James Kinch, 49, was arrested in Thailand.Mr Jones told Mr Moore today that a 24-page statement of alleged facts relied upon by federal police to charge his client was based on extracts from listening device recordings of telephone conversations between September 2007 and May of this year.
Mr Jones said he listened to copies of the alleged recorded conversations contained on 14 CDs."Thirty per cent are clear, 50 per cent are unclear and the remaining 20 per cent (of the recordings) fall within a grey area (of interpretation)," he said.
Mr Jones said that in 1996, the High Court ruled that telephone intercepts had to be accurately recorded to be relied upon in evidence.
