Five charged over 50kg cocaine seizure: "Five people have been charged with trying to import $12.5 million of cocaine from Panama after authorities intercepted a container in Sydney.
Customs and Border Protection authorities examined a sea cargo container and found a number of bags containing 49 solid blocks of the drug, federal police said.
Each block weighed about one kilogram and consisted of compressed white powder which tested positive for cocaine, they said.
They estimated the value of the seized drug at $12.5 million.
After searching premises in Mount Annan, southwest of Sydney, and the southwestern suburb of Minto, police have charged five people with attempting to possess a commercial quantity of a border-controlled drug.
Hurstville Grove man Brian Black, 40, Mohamed Jomaa, 34, from Brighton Le-Sands, Minto woman Bronwyn Reely woman, 38, and William Long, 38, of Currumbin in Queensland, appeared in Sydney's Central Local Court on Thursday."
