It is serious offence to deal with stolen goods and you are liable to be prosecuted , your ignorance of law will not be an excuse. Your brother will be treated as accomplice, as the entire episode unfolds. If you have a strong case as you said, your brother may get bail soon, so i contradict your lawyer bail terms. Please update me on indictment details (sections).
