SYDNEY - Six men have been charged over what Australian police said Saturday was one of the largest drug busts in the country’s history, worth up to Aus$1.5 billion (US$1.28 billion). Australian Federal Police said the men were charged over their involvement in the attempted importation of almost three tonnes of MDMA and crystal methamphetamine, also known as ice, into Sydney. Police will allege that the drugs, detected by Customs officers, were hidden in a container shipped from Germany which had been filled with furniture and unmarked boxes. ‘This seizure represents the second largest seizure in Australian history,’ said commissioner.
