Comanchero Associate nabbed for orchestrating cocaine imports found washed up on Sydney shores

The Australian federal Police has charged a Brisbane man, who is believed to be the Australian leader of a transnational organised crime network last week. He was arrested over a failed 900kg cocaine import that led to bricks of the drug washing up on the beaches of new South Wales.
Daniel Wayne John Roberts, 36, a tattooed Comanchero Associate, nicknamed WANTED, appeared before Queensland court on charges of importing commercial quantities of drugs. He also had links to major international drug cartels across the globe to run his illicit operations smoothly.
Roberts is accused of being the head of a domestic crime network and directing the collection and distribution of multiple multi-hundred kilogram and multi-tonne importations of cocaine and other illicit drugs into Australia, primarily using sea routes. He was arrested in Brisbane's northern suburbs on 17th of April 2024 and is facing seven charges relating to the importation of commercial quantities of drugs and dealing in proceeds of crime. He faces a maximum penalty of life imprisonment.
