Show Notes
Six crew members of the MV Raider are facing drug smuggling charges in Australia, accused of attempting to bring in a tonne of cocaine. The vessel was boarded in French Polynesia, where nearly five tonnes of coke were discarded. Despite initial beliefs that charges wouldnt stick due to the first bust occurring outside Australian waters, the crew members, aged 26 to 63 and hailing from Honduras and Ecuador, are now set to appear in court on commercial quantity charges. Authorities believe they were part of a larger syndicate planning a handoff in Australias economic zone.
