The Crime and Corruption Commission (CCC) has charged a Gold Coast man with drug trafficking and supply as part of an ongoing investigation that is focused on a cocaine trafficking syndicate operating in South East Queensland.
The CCC will allege that during the course of the investigation the 43-year-old Tugun man was identified acting as a driver for the syndicate.
The CCC yesterday afternoon charged the man with one count of Drug Trafficking contrary to section 5 of the Drugs Misuse Act 1986, 48 counts of Supply Dangerous Drug contrary to section 6 of the Drugs Misuse Act 1986, four counts of Permit Premises contrary to section 11 of the Drugs Misuse Act 1986, and two counts of Possess Thing Used in a Crime contrary to section 10 of the Drugs Misuse Act 1986.
He is scheduled to appear in the Brisbane Magistrates Court today.
The CCC will not confirm or deny the man’s name and will make no further comment on this ongoing investigation.
