An Australian police operation has seized more than 500 kilograms of the party drug MDMA in Sydney worth 60 million Australian dollars (USD44 million) and arrested two Chinese nationals, officials said yesterday.
The men, aged 38 and 34, appeared in a Sydney court on Monday on drug importation charges. They were denied bail and face potential life prison sentences if convicted.
The drug arrived in Sydney last month in a shipment of aluminum rollers. Australian Border Force officers examined the consignment and detected a crystalline substance concealed within the rollers.
Police made a controlled deliver of the rollers to a Sydney warehouse last week and the men were arrested on Sunday.
