Emaa Hussen Charged Over 320kg Meth Import Plot, Held Until August in Australia

Summary
34-year-old Emaa Hussen was remanded in custody until an August court date after being charged over an alleged 320-kilogram meth importation scheme in Sydney.
Police say the A$296 million shipment arrived from Ghana in sacks of charcoal, with officers spotting anomalies in two containers at Port Botany before x-rays revealed a white crystallized substance.
Authorities allege Hussen helped unpack the drugs at a Girraween storage site, then drove to a Blacktown home where she was arrested and officers seized 32 empty bags, devices and a notebook.
An Adelaide couple, aged 30 and 32, had already been charged in April over the same case and are due in court in September.
The seizure, which police said would have supplied about 3.2 million street deals, underscores Australia's high-value meth market that continues to attract major importation attempts.
