US airmen, Border Force members allegedly join crime gangs involved in smuggling
Sydney-based US Air Force personnel, Australian Border Force officials and Commonwealth-licensed customs brokers are suspected to have joined international crime syndicates involved in smuggling illicit goods into the country.The revelations come as top security expert Neil Fergus warns that border security gaps may be exploited by terrorists, and former NSW police commissioner Ken Moroney says the Coalition’s decision to scrap an anti-corruption board will increase customs graft.A Fairfax Media/ABC 7.30 investigation can reveal that police recently arrested US airmen Jarvis Cobb and Christopher Paul and charged them with fraud offences.
