A bricklayer pulled over by police in a luxury car has more than £300m in the bank but is not "at liberty" to say how he got it, a court has heard.

Phillip Johnathan Harrison told police in Brisbane, Australia, he was worth £6.3bn after he was stopped driving an Audi sports car and found with methamphetamine, Viagra and ecstasy.

Harrison's lawyer Nick Hanly told Brisbane Magistrates' Court he asked the 29-year-old how he had come by his huge wealth.The lawyer revealed: "He said he wasn't at liberty to say. At this point I was considering getting mental health to come in."

But, news.com.au reported, Harrison showed Mr Hanly his online bank account which showed a cash balance of AU$596m (£316m) and a property portfolio of AU$1.56bn (£820m).

"I would not have believed it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes," Mr Hanly said.

Such wealth would make Harrison as rich as a handful of Australian mining magnates and property kings.

The court heard Harrison was a user of methamphetamine.

He was ordered to surrender his passport as his wealth meant he could be considered an increased flight risk.

If you are confused basically this guy was supposedly pulled over for a routine traffic stop but he got cocky and started talking about how he was worth Billions, then the police found drugs in his car so they arrested him and he showed his lawyer his bank account and proof of property's he had that amounted to over a billion, so now they suspect him of being a drug trafficker.
