Two foreign nationals have been charged over two unrelated drug importations, with 27kg of cocaine and 21kg of methamphetamine with a combined estimated street value of $28.7 million seized at Sydney Airport in the space of 48 hours.
A Canadian-Ecuadorian dual national, 41, has been charged with allegedly importing six kilograms of cocaine concealed in his underpants on 21 September, 2024.
On the man’s arrival at Sydney Airport, Australian Border Force (ABF) officers identified abnormalities in the man’s visa application. Officers conducted a search of the man and located a package around his groin area, positioned between two pairs of underpants and secured with electrical tape.
ABF officers removed the package which contained a liquid substance which was tested and returned a positive result for cocaine. The matter was referred to the AFP.
AFP officers attended and arrested the man and he was charged with importing a commercial quantity of a border controlled drug, contrary to section 307.1 of the Criminal Code 1995 (Cth). The offence carries a maximum penalty of life imprisonment.
