A Spanish-Bolivian dual national has been accused of attempting to smuggle 4kg of cocaine into Australia in his luggage.
The 56-year-old landed at Melbourne Airport on Monday aboard a flight from Doha, Qatar before his bags came to the attention of Australian Border Force officers.
They allegedly discovered a substance concealed in the lining of two suitcases, with testing returning a positive result for cocaine.
The cocaine has an estimated street value of $1.3 million and equates to 20,000 individual street deals, the border force and Australian Federal Police said in a joint statement.
