Why was the National Crime Agency (NCA) able to ride roughshod over decades of policy that says intercept evidence is admissible? Chaman Salhan, of Best Encro Solicitors, poses this question in NLJ this week.

In June 2020, the NCA took action on the information seized from EncroChat by launching Operation Venetic. More than 1,000 arrests took place. However, will the evidence be admissible in court?
