Rosenfeld was the primary facilitator of the shipment for an international drug syndicate. Monday, June 4, 2007 [Only People of Good Character Involved?] Ecstasy powder worth $37m seized POLICE say they have prevented about 1.2 million ecstasy tablets reaching the streets after seizing 113kg of the synthetic drug MDMA in Sydney. The MDMA powder, usually found in ecstasy, was discovered inside 172 tennis ball containers packed in three of six solar hot water systems in a cargo shipment at Port Botany. Australian Customs Service (ACS) officers last month spotted the cans during an x-ray of the container, sent from Israel. Australian Federal Police (AFP) officers substituted the drug with a second substance and monitored its delivery to a warehouse in Artarmon, in Sydney's north. Israeli national Benjamin Rosenfeld, 46, who had travelled to Australia for just a few weeks, was arrested yesterday during a raid on a property in Bellingen, on the NSW mid-north coast. It is alleged Rosenfeld was the "primary facilitator'' of the shipment for an international drug syndicate. Appearing in Coffs Harbour Local Court today, he was charged with one count of importing a commercial quantity of a border controlled drug and one count of attempt to possess a commercial quantity of a border controlled drug. He was refused bail and ordered to face Sydney's Downing Centre Local Court on July 3. AFP Sydney Office manager David Stewart said the Australian operations of an international syndicate had been disrupted and more arrests could follow. Mr Stewart said that based on the calculation that ecstasy contained about 25-30 per cent MDMA, the powder could make about 1.2 million pills. The seizure would have a short-term effect on the availability of ecstasy, he said. "We don't often see MDMA powder of this scale and magnitude, but certainly it is on the increase as criminal syndicates internationally look at new opportunities in the market,'' he told reporters. He said police had raided the Artarmon warehouse, a property in Marrickville, in Sydney's inner-west, seized a car in the inner-city and raided another house in Melbourne, where officers confiscated $25,000 in cash. -- AAP   Ze'ev Rosenstein, Jewish Drug-Ringleader Caught In other related developments: Israeli jailed over $17m ecstasy haul History of the Jewish mob in Eastern Europe: An Israeli historian on Jewish organised crime in eastern Europe before Hitler's armies wiped the slate clean »»»» Real History and those nice new immigrants next door | Slave trade and Lev Trachtenberg | Detectives smash massive ring trafficking in women | Police smash crime ring suspected of trafficking in women Report slams Israel on sex slavery | Police say they find largest sex-trade ring in years Portrait of a modern slave trader, Ludwig Fainberg   Former Israeli minister Gonen Segev arrested for drug smuggling | Segev indicted for smuggling 30,000 'Ecstasy' tablets | Former Israeli minister Gonen Segev investigated also for cheque (check) and credit card frauds | Ex-minister suspected of second drug-smuggling attempt | Los Angeles police uncover Israeli drug ring, headed by an Israeli national   Israel's links to the lethal global "ecstasy" trade ...     International Ecstasy smuggling racket: three Israelis arrested   Israelis at center of the international Ecstasy drug trade   Ecstasy: A gift from "our best friend and ally"...   Ultra-Orthodox couriers ran drugs for major international ring, reports Reuters   international money-laundering ring run by New York Hasidim washed millions of dollars in cocaine proceeds for the Colombian cartels   Real History, Drug rings, and Israel: Reports from DEA field offices state young Israelis claiming to be art students and had been attempting to penetrate DEA offices   Police raid Michel Friedmanns house for cocaine.
