Police drop charges against Broncos prop's brother

The brother of Brisbane Broncos prop Payne Haas is considering taking civil action against authorities after police withdrew all drug charges against him.

Zeda Haas had been accused along with another man after being stopped in a ute at Beresfield in the NSW Hunter region in August shortly after collecting a package.

Police said they detected the package at the border and had removed 1.8kg of methamphetamine from the shipment before sending it on.

Australian Border Force officers intercepted two parcels from the United States containing a combined 4kg of methamphetamine, with a street value of $3.5 million.

Haas was charged with one count of supplying a commercial quantity of a prohibited drug and one count of trafficking a commercial quantity of a controlled drug.

Both charges were dismissed at Newcastle Local Court last week.

At a bail hearing in September, a NSW Supreme Court judge described the case against Haas as "extremely weak".

"The extent of the evidence against him is (that) he was in the car with someone who went to this place and picked up this package," Justice David Davies said at the time.

His solicitor Abdul Reslan confirmed on Wednesday that Haas was considering taking civil action over the dropped charges.
