Drummoyne man Michael Mato, 22, was allegedly carrying a brick of cocaine weighing more than a kilogram, branded with an image from Al Pacino’s 1983 film Scarface.
As children swung and climbed and slid at Dulwich Hill’s Allison Park on a sunny summer Friday earlier this month, they didn’t realise the dramatic scenes about to unfold in front of them.
Mato is now facing two counts of supplying a large quantity of cocaine, a charge carrying a maximum of life imprisonment.Police allege the cocaine was worth $22.5 million on Sydney’s streets.
