The TWO bizarre usernames accused cocaine kingpin was allegedly known by on the encrypted messaging app AN0M - as he faces court and doesn't even try to go for bail after 'going on the run' Alleged drug kingpin Mostafa Baluch, 33, used bizarre usernames on AN0M Cops say he used the encrypted messaging app to try and import cocaine He is also accused of cutting off his ankle bracelet and trying to flee the country Found sitting in boot in Mercedes inside shipping container on back of a truck By Charlotte Karp For Daily Mail Australia Published: 02:48 GMT, 1 December 2021 | Updated: 02:48 GMT, 1 December 2021 An accused drug kingpin was allegedly known by the usernames 'eventbat' and 'ownmeans' on the fake encrypted messaging app AN0M, which cops say he used to try and smuggle cocaine into the country. Mostafa Baluch - dubbed 'Australia's Pablo Escobar' - was arrested at his Bayview home in Sydney's northern beaches in June and accused of attempting to import more than 900kg of cocaine into Australia with a street value of $270million. The 33-year-old was granted conditional bail, but triggered an international manhunt when he allegedly cut his ankle monitoring bracelet off on October 25 in an attempt to avoid a potential life prison sentence. His desperate apparent bid for freedom ended when he was found hiding in a grey Mercedes in a shipping container at the Queensland-NSW border on November 10. When his matter was mentioned in Sydney's Central Local Court on Wednesday, Magistrate Robert Williams formally refused Baluch bail. Alleged drug kingpin Mostafa Baluch (pictured being escorted from a plane at Gold Coast Airport) was on the run for 16 days before he was caught by police The fugitive had been on the run from police when he was nabbed during a botched bid to cross the Queensland border The case was adjourned until January 12, 2022. Court documents seen by Daily Mail Australia say Baluch allegedly used the bizarre names 'eventbat' and 'ownmeans' to conspire with others on the encrypted messaging app. AN0M was famously concocted by the Federal Police and the FBI to ensnare international crime syndicates until authorities revealed it was an elaborate con at the centre of a police sting. Authorities could read every single message sent by users of the app. After police found him lurking inside a shipping container on the Queensland border amid his botched escape attempt, Baluch was escorted back to NSW under heavy police guard. Baluch's desperate dash for freedom ended when he was found hiding in a grey Mercedes concealed in a shipping container being transported on the back of a truck An officer holding a clear bag of his belongings revealed Baluch had packed a Colgate toothbrush, a Nivea moisturiser, deodorant and a few disposable razors (pictured) Photos showed him scowling as he was escorted onto a waiting police plane, shoeless and wearing green prison-issue clothing. The accused drug lord then landed in a small PolAir6 – a Cessna Grand Caravan - at Bankstown Airport on Thursday evening, with images from the runway showing him being led off the plane in shackles. Det Supt Crichlow paid tribute to investigators who have spent two weeks working around the clock to track Baluch down. 'He had a lot of help but there were a lot of people against him,' Det Supt Crichlow said. 'The community have turned the criminal element against him. He attracted a lot of attention and it's caused impacts for people he knows. Baluch was loaded into PolAir6 – a Cessna Grand Caravan – for his flight to Bankstown Airport 'We will look at everybody he knows and everybody he talks to and we have and we've achieved excellent results. We'll continue with that.' Police left no stone unturned in their quest to ensure Baluch didn't flee the country. 'We didn't want to leave any opportunities for this man to flee,' Det Supt Crichlow said. 'We knew people overseas were waiting for him to come and join with them. That was a great concern. As the commander said, high-end targets live overseas and that causes enormous harm to Australians. So we were determined he wouldn't leave Australia.' HOW THE COPS CAUGHT BALUCH 2020: Mostafa Baluch was arrested as part of an investigation into an alleged organised crime sting plotting to supply three tonnes of cocaine in NSW.
