Organized Crime in Conspiracy to Commit an Offense Related to Drug

Abstract

This literature review aimed to study the components of conspiracy to commit an offense related to drug and its enforcement. The agreement of two or more persons to commit an offense is a conspiracy offense, no matter whether an offense that was intended to conspire is a success or a failure.  In contrast, aiding and abetting requires the committing of an offense that was intended to aid and abet, but otherwise there is no aiding and abetting.  In the conspiracy offense for example is a defendant providing drugs to be sold or distributed. In this case, the defendant was not physically involved in the sales of drugs, but he was a conspirator. The Supreme Court decision no.5487/2548 ruled that the case was close to a successful offense and beyond making preparations for committing an offense, so the defendant was guilty of jointly selling drugs.  Whereas the Supreme Court decision no.8049/2561 ruled that the case was a conspiracy to commit a drug-related offense. The plaintiff however sued the defendants for jointly selling drugs. With the facts from the hearing contradicting the facts in the lawsuit description in essence, the case was dismissed. This article would like to give a suggestion that if there are many offenders getting involved in a drug case, but the prosecution would like to prosecute only one of them as a drug dealer. The lawsuit should include offense of conspiracy to commit drug-related offense as well.
