A NOTORIOUS former Hell's Angels member is a free man after all charges against him were withdrawn in the Meyerton Magistrate's Court yesterday.
Peter Conway, 40, was appearing on charges relating to an investigation from 2005, when he was arrested for allegedly selling ecstasy tablets on two occasions.
Neither prosecutors nor the defence were yesterday willing to comment on the case or the withdrawal of the charges.
Conway had been expected to plead on his appearance in court yesterday.
Conway, who until earlier this year had been a leader of the Hell's Angels motorcycle gang, had been on bail of R3000.
In 2002 authorities in the US linked him, along with another Hell's Angel member, Michael "Jethro" Hall, to an international drug smuggling operation.
Both men were apparently charged, but never extradited or prosecuted. Hall was killed during a break-in at his Joburg home.
