A man facing multiple drugs charges following police raids in an affluent Wellington suburb has denied the allegations in Wellington District Court.
Two men were arrested last week following searches in Khandallah and Hataitai in which cash, cars, and drugs were seized.
Police have claimed the men were supplying drugs via social media and encrypted applications to an audience of up to 500.
A 29-year-old man pleaded not guilty to 15 charges - including the supply and possession of drugs, and one of money laundering - and elected a jury trial on Thursday morning.
Judge Tania Warburton granted him interim name suppression until a bail hearing next week.
