English term or phrase: Knowingly concerned in the supply of class A drugs
X represented Mr Y who pleaded guilty to an offence of being knowingly concerned in the supply of class A drugs. Prison being nearly always certain in such cases, X’s client was rather surprised having been given a non-custodial sentence.

Explanation:
knowingly = no one tricked them into getting involved - they knew perfectly well what they are doing

the "class А drugs" part may need a "translator's note" a reference to the legal definition of "class А drugs" (basically so called "hard drugs" heroin, cocaine, etc)

"class А drugs" = Crack cocaine, cocaine, ecstasy (MDMA), heroin, LSD, magic mushrooms, methadone, methamphetamine (crystal meth)

Hard drugs
What is meant by the term Hard Drugs?
This term usually refers to drugs that are seen to be more dangerous and more likely to cause dependency such as heroin and crack cocaine than those designated as soft drugs such as cannabis and LSD.

While there is an element of truth in the distinction, it is generally a value judgement used for propaganda purposes by both pro and anti-drug lobbies and so is best avoided.

The terms ‘hard’ and ‘soft’ when applied to drugs have no legal or pharmacological validity.

Explanation:
Hrvatsko zakonodavstvo ne poznaje podjelu droga na kategorije, pa ni na "lake" i "teške", tako da bi ovo bila pravno prihvatljiva formulacija. Ako iz nekog razloga morate zadržati ovo "category A" onda bi prijedlog glasio "svjesno umiješan u raspačavanje opojnih droga kategorije A".

"Američka DEA uhitila je 151 osobu u ukupno 16 gradova koje povezuje s raspačavanjem više od 10 tona različitih sintetičkih droga."

"Bila je to navodno najveća racija protiv raspačavanja droge. Ukupno je otkriveno 84 milijuna tableta teških oko 14 tona."

"Zagrebačka policija zaplijenila je pet kilograma marihuane, a za njihovo raspačavanje osumnjičila je braću T. T. (27) i M. T. (25) iz Vukomerca."

neutral  Daryo: I noticed that it's into Croatian too late, but there is an important point: what Croatian law says is completely irrelevant the text is **about UK laws** so you can't just ignore the fact that in UK there are drugs of Class A (or B or C)
