A British actress, who appeared in an Eastenders spin-off and a Jason Statham movie, has been charged with trying to smuggle 320kg of meth into Australia from West Africa, reports BBC.
Emaa Hussen, 34, appeared in a Sydney court on Thursday after she was charged with attempting to import a commercial quantity of methamphetamine into Australia. The maximum penalty is life in prison.
Police allege Hussen, along with a couple from South Australia, tried to import meth hidden in bags of charcoal in shipping containers from Ghana. The drugs had an estimated street value of A$296m (US$208m; £157m).
Hussen was refused bail in an earlier court decision and is due back in court in August.
Hussen played the character Naz in an Eastenders spin-off E20 which first aired in 2010.
