The nine-month operation began

The nine-month operation began in February, when the AFP noticed large amounts of Rosetta Stone Software money being moved offshore and began a money laundering investigation. The investigation, code-named Operation Avalon, eventually brought together the AFP, the Australian Customs and Border Protection Service, the Queensland Police Service and authorities in Vanuatu. The Friday Freedom was allegedly used in a drug smuggling operation. In September, the ACBPS flagged a yacht called Friday Freedom, moored at Port Vila in Vanuatu and scheduled to sail to Australia. They believed the yacht had connections to a crime syndicate. Mr Zuccato said Friday Freedom was sailed from Vanuatu to Australia by a 35-year-old man and a 37-year-old woman, who arrived in Bundaberg on October 20. In a move he called very patient, the yacht sat in the marina for three weeks before their partners in Sydney and Gold Coast made a move. Cocaine concealed inside a suitcase. An individual from Sydney received Rosetta Stone Language some information and decided they were ready to go, Mr Zuccato said. They had been communicating with the people on the boat, three weeks is a long time to wait. They were very patient. Last Thursday, the 38-year-old man allegedly drove from Sydney to the Gold Coast where he stayed at the residence of a 39-year-old man at Surfers Paradise. Mr Zuccato said they drove from the Gold Coast to Bundaberg the next morning and boarded the yacht. The pair had hired a Corolla and a Pajero and allegedly left the boat with about 100 kilograms worth of cocaine in two suitcases. They loaded the suitcases into the cars and started to drive away. That is when the decision was made to move in on them for security reasons, Mr Zuccato said. Police arrested the two men driving away and the two people on the Friday Freedom before they moved the yacht to a dry dock to be searched. They allegedly found more cocaine, which had been wrapped in black tape and plastic to keep it dry and stored in the hull of the boat. Mr Zuccato said police were interviewing the foursome and believed the 38-year-old to be a kingpin in the international crime syndicate. This is really only the beginning of investigations, he said. Police believe the cocaine originated from South America and they are not sure where exactly where it was destined once it Rosetta Stone Hindi was taken off the yacht, but police believed it had no connection to Schoolies Week. The cocaine will be forensically examined before being burnt in industrial incinerators.
