Acourt back in the UK to face drugs charge

A man has been brought back to the UK and is due to appear in court on a drugs charge.

Jamie Acourt, 42, from south London, arrived on a flight from Barcelona yesterday and has been charged with conspiracy to supply cannabis. He is due to appear at Westminster magistrates’ court today.

Acourt was arrested in Spain last month after a joint operation by the NCA, Crimestoppers and the Spanish authorities. A Metropolitan Police statement said: “Detectives from the Met’s Serious and Organised Crime Command have today, Wednesday June 6, charged Jamie Acourt, 42, with conspiracy to supply class B drugs.”
