The background to the case involves a feud between two alleged gangs in West London – The “Harrow Road Boys” (HRB), said to be led by famous rapper “Fredo” (Marvin Bailey), and the “CGM” gang, of which drill rapper “Digga-D” (Rhys Herbert) is said to be a prominent member.
The eight defendants are charged with two conspiracies: a conspiracy to possess firearms with intent to endanger life, and a separate conspiracy to supply mobile phones into prison.
Jemma Levinson, leading Tom Flavin of 25 Bedford Row, acts for the fifth Defendant and is instructed by Wainwright and Cummins solicitors. Tetevi Davi, led by Andrew Frymann of Crucible Chambers, acts for the third Defendant and is instructed by SVS solicitors.
The trial, which began last Tuesday, is scheduled for 12 weeks at Kingston Crown Court.
