four hundred dollars here in Mexico for one kilo to up to 240 000 in Australia there's a lot of money to be made the speed of organized climate at the moment it's moving at the speed of electrons what's being moved through this tunnel cocaine methamphetamines is highly likely that that ends up on the streets of Australia we'll see traditional Rivals at War come together do a drug import I'm talking about an outlaw motorcycle groups like comanchero The Lone wolves the evidence room may be modest but the hall is Extreme 240 million dollars of cocaine destined for Australian Straits and what we actually have in front of us is anesthesia from yesterday which is 800 kilos of cocaine it's only a fraction of the two tons Columbia national police found in containers at the Port of catahenya [Music] sporting bags the drug Runners packaging of choice this bag we have here can contain 60 kilograms of cocaine and in the current prices in Australia that bag contains 7.2 million dollars of um cocaine Australians are paying some of the highest prices in the world for drugs three hundred thousand dollars a kilogram for cocaine 250 000 for ice as much that's crazy that's a lot because then that means that there is a really high profit I don't think there is more lucrative marking than that especially when you consider the drugs cost just a few hundred dollars to make four hundred dollars here in Mexico for one kilo to up to 240 000 in Australia there's a lot of money to be made so much money towels have begun redirecting shipments in late 2022 we saw an upswing of intelligence saying that Mark cocaine suppliers are traditionally targeted the North American and European market we're going to start targeting Australia police in South America are fighting to stop the drugs at the source and today they're showing is one of the Jungle Labs they've set up for training [Music] in Mexico [Music] of the narcos Matrix underground tunnels used to smuggle drugs and people into America we're about 80 minutes from the Mexican border but it just feels a long long way away there's some timber that's been put in here to try and reinforce the tunnel but it's it's wet it's moldy you can actually feel the moisture on the timber I have no idea how someone will live down here Mexico is still lower and cjng cartels have their fingerprints all over these tunnels and the broader push into Australia both cartels get it to Australia in many ways whether it's via air freight sea Freight fishing vessels containerized cargo you name it they'll find a way they're working with Asia's Sam Gore cartel the nandrangada mafia and Colombia's Narco terrorists Australian bikies are also brokering billion dollar deals with the narcos to flood our market and I'm talking about Outlaw motorcycle groups like comanchero The Lone wolves the Hells Angels we'll see traditional Rivals at War come together do a drug import make their profits and go their separate way and then the next day they're they're out trying to kill each other again they have absolutely no regard for the impact of their criminal actions they're purely mercenary business people for the first time we can reveal one of Australia's biggest drug money makers Anthony Phillips atar our new Most Wanted he's been on the Run since October 2011 for alleged drug importations uh in into Australia that 2011 shipment arrived at Port Melbourne [Applause] as Geelong was still celebrating its Grand Final win over Collingwood 14 kilograms of cocaine and 133 kilograms of meth hidden in the consignment of beer from Mexico it is there the 43 year old now lives with his Mexican wife and children quite likely he's here brokering for methamphetamine trafficking and probably cocaine trafficking into Australia Mexico is 128 million people very easy to hide here he'll make a mistake we'll be there with the Mexican law enforcement to find him when he does make that mistake a mistake two years ago brought Australia's other alleged drug kingpin hakane Inc unstuck the former comanchero had been promoting an encrypted app called anim to the underworld but it was exposed as a poly setup even still he controls a group known as the Aussie cartel smuggling 1.5 billion dollars of drugs into Australia every year he's living the High Life he's fat and Rich sitting off the drug sales that are coming into Australia killing our kids and he cares for nothing he cares about making money he's just a greedy individual Australian and Turkish police are closing in on aik and his associates they recently arrested his schoolmate Sydney bahi duax nagakuru [Music] 70 of our high value targets actually operate offshore we law enforcement around the world we're the biggest gang in the world and only by working together we are we going to have some sort of impact to make the environment hostile for the organized criminals but it is unrelenting every day the cartels are devising new routes in new substances in fact intelligence shows the cartels are plotted to flood Australia with a wave of super strength ice and a deadly new drug 50 times more powerful than heroin unable to Australia just be cautious about the use of stance because at some point fentanyl May reach the Australian Market fentanyl now causes the most drug deaths in America we're only talking about the size of a couple of grains of salt is enough to kill you so yeah I'm extremely concerned about what it could do to us the soundgold cartel which flooded Australian with ice is switching to Industrial scale production of ketamine and hallucinogenic party drug it's very clear that they're doing a strategy with ketamine that they also do with methamphetamine a few years ago which is a Supply push pattern where what they do is flood the streets to build the market and therefore build the demand for it and the Pacific is their new shipping playground Papua New Guinea has become a stockpile in transit location for ice and cocaine those small societies don't have the health systems the policing systems to handle methamphetamine so we're really concerned that these little countries that are being used for transshipment will become points through which you know they're almost risk of State capture infiltration of organized crime another one of my concerns is the fact that we're actually starting to see some of these drugs on the streets in the Pacific and the effect of that in terms of their communities could be enormous
