• A campaign to clear inter national truck driver Billy • Daniels of drug smuggling moves to Spain next week.
CM transport consultant Colin Ward flies to Barcelona to gain new evidence, which he hopes to present to three High Court judges during August.
The judges will then decide whether or not to allow Daniels to appeal against his conviction of smuggling 22.5m worth of cannabis into Britain from Spain.
A judge has already allowed him to appeal against the 13year jail sentence, which was only a year less than the maximum allowed, even though Daniels had no previous drugrelated convictions.
