The “boss” alleged to have been running “a sophisticated commercial enterprise” faces the possibility of life in prison after he was charged over psychedelic chocolate bars.
Michael Adam Kustic, a 39-year-old from Googong in NSW, has been handed a total of 47 charges, including trafficking in a large commercial quantity of a controlled drug, which carries a maximum penalty of life imprisonment.
He and two other men were arrested over what ACT Policing alleges is the largest illegal controlled and prescription drug distribution network ever identified in the ACT and Victoria.
Court documents say police had been lawfully intercepting Mr Kustic’s calls when, in November 2023, he allegedly told an associate he “profited nearly $2 million this year – you don’t do that without drugs”.
“F-k good on you bro, from $30,000 a year as a panel beater to $2 million a year, f-k you’re kicking goals aye,” the associate allegedly replied.
Police allege Mr Kustic is the head of an organised crime group with the two other men and self-identifies as “the boss”.
