Queensland man charged with importing $450,000 of liquid fantasy
A 37-year-old Clear Island Waters man was charged on Wednesday with six counts of importing a commercial quantity of a border controlled drug under the Commonwealth Criminal Code.
The maximum penalty for this offence is life imprisonment.
About 120 litres of GBL in air cargos.
He will appear in Southport Magistrates Court on Thursday.
AFP Detective acting Inspector Scott Curtis said investigations into the importation remain ongoing.
“GBL is a dangerous substance, normally an industrial chemical solvent found in paint strippers,” he said.
“It is highly addictive and can result in users slipping into comas, or even death.
“Our investigations into who is behind this importation are just getting started.”
