A South Australian father accused of using an encrypted AN0M device to arrange large-scale drug deals has been granted home detention bail.
Artemis Triantafillou, 47, from Panorama, appeared in court charged with trafficking more than three kilograms of methamphetamine as part of the nationwide Operation Ironside sting, which saw 55 arrests in South Australia.
Prosecutors alleged Triantafillou used his AN0M device to “seek out substantial quantities” of cocaine and meth, claiming the evidence linking him to the phone was “very strong.”
Defence lawyer Elizabeth Porter said the allegations “came as a shock to him and his family” and that many of the drug trafficking charges were “primarily to be defended.”
Magistrate Lynette Duncan granted bail on strict home detention conditions. Triantafillou will return to court next year.
