Michael Ibrahim’s alleged drug syndicate reportedly planned to bring five tonnes of MDMA and 50kg of cocaine into Australia every month.
The explosive claims from police suggest that Ibrahim’s associates had the ability to smuggle ‘tonnes’ of illicit drugs into Australia from drug stockpiles around the world.
According to the police documents, members of the syndicate organised the stockpiles by sending messages on their Blackberry mobiles or through discussions in some of Dubai’s most prestigious hotels, The Daily Telegraph reported.
