Our client Alev Oncu was found Not Guilty of perverting the course of justice by a Parramatta jury on Friday 4 August after a two-week trial, after a team effort by solicitors Robert Candelori and Paul McGirr and counsel Michael Smith.

It had been alleged by the Crown Prosecutors that Ms Oncu had deleted CCTV footage at her home, however key crown witness, CCTV technician Salar Norouzi, could not explain how it was the system was formatted three times within a few minutes of his entry and said he could have formatted the system himself on at least one of those occasions. He also could not explain and could not recall why it was he visited Ms Oncu in August 2019.

The acquittal comes after four years awaiting trial due to COVID-19 delays and late service of evidence by the NSW Police.
