A 22-year-old Swiss man was sentenced to eight years and eight months in prison for attempting to smuggle 25 kilograms of cocaine into Australia via Melbourne Airport in January 2025.
The drugs were found in a suitcase he collected after a trip from Los Angeles, where he was approached by unknown individuals offering $4,000 to transport it.
He claimed he didn’t know the contents and pleaded guilty, expressing remorse.
Authorities said the cocaine, worth an estimated $4.5 million, could have fueled nearly 70,000 street-level deals.
The judge emphasized the severe consequences of drug trafficking despite the man’s youth and lack of criminal history, noting he must serve at least four years and 10 months before parole eligibility.
Australian border agencies reiterated their commitment to stopping drug smuggling.
