The new room in Manchester Crown Court will make it easier to deal with organised crime gangs.
A "super" courtroom has opened to tackle backlogs caused by the coronavirus pandemic and make it easier to deal with organised crime gangs.
Courts Minister Lord Wolfson QC said the £2.5m revamp "will get gang-related suspects in front of judges quicker".The courtroom will be able to hold trials involving up to a dozen defendants which usually involves gang-related crime such as county lines, drug trafficking, murders and money laundering, the Ministry of Justice said.
The MoJ said trials requiring this level of space - known as "multi-handers" - had built up during the pandemic due to social distancing and the work would get through the cases at speed and prevent disruption to other cases in the building.
