The Australian Federal Police arrested Hamed Yarmohammadi, 30, and Niusha Ojaghfaghihi, 26, on January 8 and 9 in Sydney over the alleged scheme to bring in drugs with a street value of about $187 million.
An investigation by the Victorian joint organised crime taskforce was triggered in December when the Australian Border Force detected 100kg of methamphetamine hidden in benchtops, sent from Iran and destined for an address in Endeavour Hills in Melbourne.
The shipment was allegedly moved to a warehouse in Lakemba in Sydney in January, where a clandestine laboratory was set up to process the drugs.
