First modification:
Tse Chi Lop, the so-called “drug baron” in Asia, is one of the most wanted men in the world for drug trafficking. This Thursday he was extradited to Australia, where he would serve a life sentence for different crimes related to drug trafficking, if the charges are proven. It is estimated that his illegal earnings reach 2.8 million euros.
In 2021, Tse Chi Lop had been detained at Amsterdam Schipol Airport after being wanted for practically more than a decade for trafficking cocaine in the Australian cities of Sydney and Melbourne.
The Canadian drug trafficker, of Chinese origin, has often been compared to drug baron Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán, as he is suspected of leading a mega-cartel in Asia called Sam Gor, a major global producer and supplier of amphetamines.
This organization would have laundered billions of dollars from drug trafficking through casinos, hotels and properties in the Mekong region, in Southeast Asia.
Tse Chi Lop is due to appear before a Melbourne high court on charges of “conspiracy to traffic commercial quantities of drugs”. If such charges are proven, she will have to serve a life sentence.
