Another four men have been charged after a multi-million-dollar alleged illicit drug and cigarette-smuggling operation, involving allegedly corrupt waterfront officials, was disrupted in Sydney last month.
The total arrests from the operation, which is comprised of officers from Polaris Joint Waterfront Taskforce, the Australian Federal Police (AFP), NSW Police Force, Australian Border Force, and the Australian Crime Commission, now amounts to 17 people.
Police said a 32-year-old US national was arrested at Mascot on Monday and was allegedly in possession of 78.5 kilograms of illegal tobacco, which was seized by officers.
