A 35-year-old Perth CBD man has been sentenced to 10 years’ imprisonment after being convicted over a cocaine importation operation that smuggled drugs into Australia through international mail shipments hidden inside face masks, curry packets and tomato soup sachets.
The West Australian man was sentenced on 25 May 2026 for his role in importing about four kilograms of cocaine through eight separate parcels sent from the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland between November 2022 and April 2023.
According to the Australian Federal Police (AFP), the parcels were addressed to an Australian location provided by the man and were designed to conceal the illicit drugs inside everyday household and food items.
