Two Greek nationals charged after 120kg of cocaine found in Sydney shipping container

Two Greek nationals have been charged after police seized 120 kilograms of cocaine allegedly stashed within the walls of a shipping container at Port Botany in Sydney’s eastern suburbs.

Police will allege the two men travelled from Athens to retrieve the drugs – which would have been worth an estimated $60 million on the streets – for an organised crime syndicate in Australia.

Detective Acting Superintendent Matthew Kennedy said on Sunday the two men were believed to have been in Australia for a “very, very” short time and did not speak English.
