Apology to Shameer Birges
On 21 February 2019, we published a story about the arrest of two men for conspiring to import $36 million of methamphetamine into Australia.
We included video footage and still shots taken from an insurance commercial featuring Mr Birges, suggesting that he may be one of the men arrested.
The use of this footage and still shots was an error. Mr Birges was not involved in the matter referred to in any way.
Daily Mail acknowledges any embarrassment and distress that the incorrect use of the footage and still shots has caused and apologises to Mr Birges and his family.
