The offences carry maximum penalties of five and three years’ imprisonment respectively.

Former nurse Rajwinder Singh has been convicted of murdering 24-year-old Toyah Cordingley in 2018, before fleeing to India for more than four years.

AFP Commissioner Krissy Barrett said the sentence brought closure to one of the agency’s most significant and enduring operations.

The haul is estimated to be enough for roughly 135,000 street-level deals.

AFP officers searched the bag and allegedly uncovered two black plastic bags filled with bundles of $50 and $100 notes.

“This reflects Australia’s broader commitment, championed continually through the AFP advisor’s work at the UN, to elevating Pacific policing within multilateral forums.”

Police seized nearly one million cigarettes, thousands of vapes and other illicit products, and froze $580,000 suspected to be crime proceeds during coordinated raids between February and June 2024.

Forensic analysis uncovered thousands of intimate images and videos, the personal credentials of other people, and records of fraudulent WiFi pages.

Barrett warned that Australia’s ongoing demand for illicit commodities — even amid cost-of-living pressures — was placing “significant pressure in our suburbs” and driving organised crime to use Pacific transit routes.

All three accused have been charged with one count of dishonestly gaining a benefit from a Commonwealth entity, an offence carrying a maximum penalty of 10 years’ imprisonment.
