Over 50 Australian Federal Police officers swarmed a house on May 26 as part of an investigation into drug trafficking and money laundering, connected with the now-famous Operation Ironside.
It's thought that police uncovered the plan through intelligence gained through Operation Ironside and the ANoM scheme
The announcement of the arrest comes just weeks after the AFP announced that they would be targeting the 'Ndrangheta and highlighted Griffith as an organised crime hotspot. The AFP identified 14 'Ndrangheta clans involving thousands of members and are currently investigating blood lines and possible connections with Calabrian-based bosses.
The 36-year-old man has been issued with a Court Attendance Notice and is expected to face court later in June.
