Saturday, 20 June 2026, 06:22 · 1 min read

British actress Emaa Hussen, 34, who appeared in an EastEnders spin-off and a Jason Statham film, has been charged in a Sydney court with attempting to smuggle approximately 320kg of methamphetamine into Australia from Ghana. Authorities allege the drugs — with an estimated street value of A$296 million (around US$208 million) — were concealed in bags of charcoal inside shipping containers that arrived at Sydney's Port Botany, and that Hussen later supervised the unloading of the shipment at a storage facility before being arrested at a nearby property. Two other suspects were also charged in Adelaide (South Australia's state capital) in connection with the alleged operation; Hussen has been refused bail and faces a maximum penalty of life in prison.
