Two Sydney men have been charged after police busted a global drug trafficking syndicate resulting in the arrest of eight people.
The men, aged 26 and 34, appeared in the Downing Centre Local Court on Tuesday where they were charged with attempting to possess 800kg of methamphetamine destined for Australia in 2023 after they were arrested at Hinchinbrook and Canley Vale in the city’s south-west.
The Victorian Joint Organised Crime Taskforce (JOCTF), launched the investigation – codenamed Operation Parkes – in January 2023 after Canadian authorities alerted the Australian Federal Police that 2,900 litres of liquid methamphetamine, concealed in 180 bottles of canola oil, was destined for Australia.
