| THE Australian Crime Commission has swooped on an international pilot after he touched down at Sydney Airport over his alleged links to a huge drug running and money laundering operation.
The commission yesterday arrested and charged a senior Vietnam Airlines pilot, Quoc Viet Lai, for allegedly taking bribes to smuggle almost $4 million in drug money out of Australia.
The arrest offers a new glimpse into one of the nation's most secretive and significant anti-organised crime operations.
In its last annual report, the crime commission revealed that since March 2005 Operation Gordian had arrested 63 people, stopped the sale of $1 billion in drugs and tracked $93 million in drug money leaving Australia. That figure is believed to have ballooned over the past two years.
