Key legal question
Whether evidence from the Trinidad and Tobago secret investigation required reversal or retrial
Extracted holding
The evidence was already excluded from the file, and it was not central or decisive for the conviction; therefore, the refusal to order a retrial was upheld.
Extracted reasoning
The conviction rested mainly on independent evidence: arrest at the postal office, possession of cocaine, use of a false identity, a SMS, and extensive phone contacts. The excluded material did not determine the factual findings.
