AN East Oxford man has avoided trial after pleading guilty to dealing cannabis.

Appearing before Oxford Crown Court on Monday morning (April 8), Mubinur Rahman, 24, of Westfield Close, pleaded guilty to possession with intent to supply cannabis in Oxford on July 8, 2020.

Rahman admitted to being in possession of £234 in ‘dirty’ cash linked to criminal conduct.

His co-defendant, Hassan Makki, 22, of Cosin Close, is still going on trial this week.

He denied dealing cannabis as well as a similar second charge relating to possession of £270 cash.

The trial is to go ahead at the same court under Judge Maria Lamb.
