Tse Chi Lop, an alleged drug kingpin accused of running a multibillion dollar methamphetamine empire, has been extradited to Australia following a nearly two-year legal battle with Dutch authorities.
Tse, 59, was arrested in January 2021 after he landed at Amsterdam’s Schipol International Airport on a flight from the Taiwan. Dutch authorities then detained him on a warrant from the Australian Federal Police issued in 2019 in connection with an operation targeting Sam Gor, the drug-trafficking syndicate he is accused of heading. Through his lawyers, Tse has denied all the allegations Australian authorities have leveled against him.
Asia’s methamphetamine trade is believed to be worth billions of dollars each year and Sam Gor, which is sometimes simply referred to as “The Company,” is allegedly its biggest player. Authorities alleged that the organization was, as of 2018, earning between $8 billion and $17.7 billion worth of illicit proceeds a year, according to a briefing on the syndicate shared with CNN by an official with direct knowledge of the investigation.
