Extradition of former CMG member
A 42-year-old man will be extradited from Canberra today due to appear before the Brisbane Magistrates Court tomorrow following an operation by the Australian Crime Commission and the Queensland Police Service.
The man, a former CMG member, was charged with drug trafficking in 2010 following extensive investigations into a syndicate supplying large quantities of cocaine through licensed premises on the Gold Coast.
The man was due to be charged with a further trafficking offence in January 2014, however he failed to appear. He was yesterday arrested by members of ACT Policing.
The man appeared before the ACT Magistrates Court and extradition was applied for by members of the Queensland Police Service’s Drug and Serious Crime Group.
He is due to appear before the Brisbane Magistrates Court tomorrow.
