EastEnders Star Emaa Hussen Charged After Alleged £160m Meth Bust in Australia
Police say 320 kg of meth worth $296 million was hidden in charcoal sacks and intercepted before reaching a Sydney storage facility.
- On Thursday, British actress Emaa Hussen appeared in a Sydney court after New South Wales Police charged her with attempting to import 320kg of methamphetamine disguised as charcoal, valued at $296 million.
- The investigation began in April after Australian Border Force officers detected anomalies in two shipping containers arriving at Sydney's Port Botany from Ghana, where the drugs were concealed within bags of charcoal.
- Hussen allegedly supervised the unloading of the shipment at a Girraween storage facility before traveling to Blacktown, where police arrested her alongside an Adelaide couple, aged 30 and 32, who allegedly used false identities.
- Det Acting Supt Trevor Robinson of the Australian Federal Police stated the seizure "has prevented a potential 3.2 million deals from reaching Australian streets." Hussen remains in custody until her August court date.
- The offence carries a maximum sentence of life imprisonment under Australian law. Australian Border Force Supt Jared Leighton noted, "Criminal syndicates will go to great lengths to disguise illicit drugs, including embedding them in everyday goods like charcoal.
