Xiaochen Han, with an address at Griffith’s Close, Birmingham, UK, appeared before Cork District Court today by video link. Earlier this month Han was charged with possession of cannabis, and having cannabis for the purpose of sale or supply to others. Detective Garda Derry O’Brien said that gardaí were strenuously objecting to bail in the case. He also expressed his belief that Han would flee the jurisdiction in the event of his being granted bail in the case. The Judge said that Han was a “serious flight risk” and that it was a “serious offence.”
