The Bankstown Local Court in Australia has refused bail for two Fijian men allegedly involved in importing over $94 million worth of cocaine.

Cyspian Buadomo, 26, and 24-year-old Aisea Vatuwaqa are charged with attempting to access 128 kilograms of cocaine. Their arrest follows investigations into a July shooting incident in Concord.

The Australian Federal Police uncovered evidence linking the pair to the illegal importation of drugs into New South Wales. The consignment was seized by the Australian Border Force upon arrival on Saturday, with the men caught attempting to access it at a freight forwarder.
