Summary
A former EastEnders star, Emaa Hussen, is facing life in prison after attempting to smuggle 320kg of meth into Australia hidden in charcoal bags shipped from Ghana — part of a $160 million operation. Authorities intercepted the drugs at Port Botany, foiling what could have been 3.2 million street deals. Hussen, who also appeared in a Jason Statham film, was caught in Blacktown with accomplices and more empty bags. Two others from Adelaide were already charged in April 2026. This bust reveals how cartels get creative — and how cops stay one step ahead. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
