Australia jails ‘Asia’s El Chapo’ for 16 years

Tse Chi Lop was once described as an international drug kingpin, in the league of Pablo Escobar and Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman.

Axar.az informs, citing ABC, on Thursday, Tse sat in a Melbourne courtroom, head slumped, as a judge sentenced the 62-year-old to 16 years' jail for conspiring to traffic a commercial quantity of drugs into Australia.

Tse's arrest in 2021 in Amsterdam — and subsequent extradition to Australia — was heralded as one of the federal police's biggest-ever busts.

The Chinese-Canadian national was alleged to be the head of a multi-billion-dollar syndicate known as The Company, or Sam Gor.
