Horseracing codewords, plans to recruit new crooked airport staff and drug smugglers in South Africa are at the centre of accusations against a group of Sydney men.
Two airport workers and their associates allegedly spent months planning to smuggle a mammoth amount of cocaine into the country in a freight container, unaware authorities were watching their every move.
Bragg was initially a pilot driver for Wymap Group, while McPherson worked for Jets Transport as a freight handler.Their “suspicious movements” sparked police monitoring. Bragg was fired from Wymap Group on the day of that failed job, but McPherson arranged for him to be employed with Jets Transport. The next day, Haoucher allegedly told Cain they were “locked in for next week,” to which Cain responded: “Brilliant. Your the man, we make a good team.”Their associates working from Johannesburg were concerned about freight changes that meant the container might land in Sydney with a broken seal.
