Four crew members arrested for drug smuggling
The authorities in Australia have arrested four crew members of the 'Kypros Bravery' after seizing 416 kilograms of cocaine, or about 917 pounds, that the accused allegedly offloaded at sea. The amount was the biggest haul of illicit drugs ever confiscated in South Australia, worth an estimated $166 million Australian dollars. The investigation was led by the Australian Federal Police (AFP) with assistance from the Australian Border Force (ABF), South Australia Police (SAPOL), Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission (ACIC) and the Department of Home Affair. The vessel was searched by Australian Border Force officers after docking in Port Adelaide on March 17, 2022. During the search, ABF officers located evidence that led them to believe the vessel had potentially been involved in the drop off of a significant quantity of drugs at sea. An extensive search of the area found about 400kg of cocaine a substantial distance offshore, and the drugs were towed to shore. The four men, aged between 29 and 44, could be facing a life sentence having been charged with importation of a commercial quantity of border controlled drugs, namely cocaine. More arrests are possible as the investigation continued. The alleged cocaine importation was the largest ever detected by law enforcement in South Australia. It was most certain the drugs would have been trafficked to other Australian states. The ship left the Port of Adelaide again on March 31.
