On Thursday, a County Court jury found him and another man, John Tambakakis, 35, guilty of their involvement in the May 2017 drug importation racket, after Customs detected 10 blocks of cocaine with a street value of up to $12.4 million hidden inside five printers.

The prosecution also revealed that while Awad was under police surveillance, he was seen meeting drug kingpin Tony Mobkel’s brother, Horty Mokbel, at Fleming Park in Brunswick East.
