An Australian Border Force official has been charged as part of a global crackdown on crime syndicates.
Australian Border Force official Craig Richard Eakin has reportedly been nabbed over an alleged international tobacco ring operating between Sydney and Dubai.
It’s the third police operation this week following dawn raids on Tuesday when more than 570 AFP officers swooped on homes and businesses across Sydney.
The Australian Federal Police and NSW Joint Organised Crime Group said on Thursday eight people have been arrested in Sydney and one in Dubai over their involvement in an alleged conspiracy to illegally import drugs and tobacco into Australia.
Seventeen people were arrested across three countries, including two brothers of Kings Cross nightlife figure John Ibrahim, preventing about two tonnes of illicit drugs reaching Australia.
