A young trio from Swindon are expected to stand trial for the first time, accused of dealing drugs in town and possession of over £30,000 in criminal property.
26-year-old Daniela Sopiku, of Newport Street in Old Town, 20-year-old Hysen Sopiku, also of Newport Street, and 18-year-old Alvaro Vrapi, of no fixed abode in Swindon, have all been charged with being concerned in the supply of Class A drugs.
Daniela Sopiku stands accused of possessing £32,175 cash as criminal property, supplying cocaine, and possessing a fake Italian passport.
All of these charges relate to June 2 and have been denied by Ms Sopiku.
Hysen Sopiku has previously admitted to possession of a fraudulent bank card, possession of criminal bank funds, cash and expensive retail items, and supplying cocaine.
However, he stands accused of driving a Nissan Qashai in Chippenham on June 2 without a licence or insurance.
On May 8, he's also alleged to have been driving a Ford Fiesta in Trowbridge without a licence or insurance.
