Prosecutors are urging a judge to dismiss the appeal of Ali Lalji, a former Vice Media employee convicted for his role in a cocaine smuggling conspiracy into Australia. Lalji, who was arrested in 2016 and sentenced to nine years in 2023, remains out on bail while appealing his conviction. His case is linked to a larger plot involving Vice Media’s abuse of its Toronto headquarters for recruiting drug mules. The Crown argues that Lalji’s appeal lacks merit and relies on challenges to the trial’s evidence and findings.
