FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda A Sydney woman convicted of drug offences linked to a $205 million heroin seizure was motivated by greed, a court has heard.
Ying Ma, 58, from Campsie in southwest Sydney, was found guilty earlier this year of attempting to possess a commercial quantity of a border-controlled drug.
The charge related to 168kg of heroin, estimated to have a street value of around $205 million, which was found in a container of house doors shipped from Malaysia to Sydney, in October 2010.
The drugs were wrapped in plastic and concealed inside 10 of the doors.
Ma’s co-accused, 34-year-old Hong Kong national Nam Leung Lau, was found guilty of the same charge in relation to the seizure, while Ma’s son, Bin Xiao, was acquitted after a separate trial.
At a sentencing hearing for Ma and Lau on Friday, crown prosecutor Paul McGuire told the Downing Centre District Court that Ma had been driven by greed.
He said she had been offered $500,000 to take part in the criminal undertaking and had control over many parts of it, including providing bags, tools and gloves used to access the drugs.
He said Ma’s offending was made worse by the fact that she had encouraged her son to assist her.
“This places her in a position of objectively very serious offending,” he told the court.
But she occupied a “lower role” in the hierarchy of international drug syndicates.
Counsel for Ma, Stephen Hanley SC, said his client’s criminality was “very limited”.
He said she did not know how much heroin had been imported and she had only been involved for a “very short period”.
Judge Leonie Flannery reserved sentence until May 10.
