Wednesday 3 August 2022 01:51 AM [Video]: Tense moment Comanchero bikie boss Mark Buddle was arrested in Darwin ... trends now Footage has emerged of Comanchero bikie boss Mark Buddle being frogmarched into a police station in handcuffs after he was secretly deported to Australia from Turkey. The nation's most wanted man was apprehended by Australian Federal Police over alleged drug importation after he touched down in Darwin. AFP confirmed on Tuesday morning a 37-year-old man had been arrested for allegedly importing more than 160kg of cocaine - which has an estimated street value of $40million - into Melbourne in May, 2021. A video released by AFP shows Buddle arriving at a Darwin police station in an unmarked white four-wheel drive. An officer sitting next to Buddle in the backseat jumps out before Comanchero kingpin was ordered to get out and put his hands on the top of the vehicle. While one officer checks his handcuffs, another places their arm under his armpit and puts their hand on his shoulder, to secure Buddle in a hold. Comanchero bikie boss Mark Buddle (pictured) has been taken into police custody in Darwin Buddle was walked into the station backwards, surrounded by at least five Australian Federal Police officers He will be taken to a cell and is scheduled to appear in a Darwin court later on Tuesday A second officer repeats the procedure on Buddle's other arm, before he is walked backwards into the police station. At least five officers in face masks can be seen standing around him as he is checked it the facility, where he was place in cell to appear in a Darwin court later on Tuesday. Assistant Commissioner Nigel Ryan said Buddle, who was the subject of an Interpol red notice, arrived in Darwin after Turkey made an 'independent decision' to deport him. 'He was escorted by Turkish authorities by charter flight to Darwin where he was taken into AFP custody and arrested,' Assistant Commissioner Ryan told reporters at a press conference. 'The AFP was well place to respond to his return due to the progress of an ongoing AFP investigation and the AFP’s strong global law and enforcement intelligence networks.' During his court appearance, AFP will apply to have him extradited to Victoria, where he is facing charges of allegedly importing cocaine. Assistant Commissioner Ryan said each offence carries a maximum penalty of life imprisonment. 'The AFP will allege that Operation Ironside led the man to a transnational syndicate, operating out of Hong Kong and Turkey, which was using dedicated encrypted communications to coordinate the shipment of cocaine from Hong Kong to Melbourne via Sydney,' he said. 'The AFP has been methodical and patient in putting a brief of information together to ensure that the man can face the justice system.' AFP engaged with the Director of Public Prosecutions in October in preparation to seek a warrant for Buddle's arrest, which was granted by a Melbourne court in mid-July this year. Assistant Commissioner Ryan said Buddle had been a target of Operation Gain, a transnational off-shore disruption task force, since March 2021. 'This is the first time the AFP has publicly revealed the existence of this task force, which targets Australia's biggest organised crime threats offshore' he said. Buddle became leader of the infamous Comanchero gang in 2009 Mark Buddle pictured with his ex-girlfriend and the mother of his two kids Mel Ter Wisscha 'Australians who think they can hide offshore, in perceived safe havens, pedalling drugs into Australian communities, making huge illicit profits at the expense of Australian lives, take this as a warning.' 'The AFP will be relentless in pursuing you.' Buddle became leader of the infamous Comanchero gang in 2009 after the former leader, Mahmoud 'Mick' Hawi, was jailed for a fatal brawl at Sydney Airport. He left Australia for Dubai in 2016 with his glamorous long-time girlfriend Mel Ter Wisscha and their two children after he was named a person of interest in a 2010 armed robbery where a security guard was killed. Buddle then flitted between a range of countries including Greece, Turkey and Iraq before settling in the self-declared Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus where he received a residency permit on the grounds his 'high income' would bring wealth to the territory. Australian authorities had been working tirelessly behind the scenes to extradite Buddle from Turkey. The development comes after a tumultuous few weeks in Europe for Buddle after he was last month held at gun point and arrested in Turkey on visa violations. After initially receiving a residency permit, authorities later ruled that the his presence was 'inconvenient in terms of public peace and security'. That led to a top-secret mission involving the National Turkish Coast Guard Command, local police and Interpol agents raiding his hideout. Buddle left Australia in 2016 and has spent time in Dubai, Iraq and Lebanon In the days that followed, it emerged he and Ter Wissa had split up when he moved to Northern Cyprus in July 2021 and she moved to Bodrum. Sources also revealed Buddle married a woman called Ozge, a few months after he arrived in Northern Cyprus. 'I haven't seen Mark for a year. He's the father of my children. They see him, I don't,' Ms Ter Wisscha told The Daily Telegraph in July 'I haven't left Turkey. 'My kids have gone to and from (Northern Cyprus) but I have stayed away.' According to the sources, Buddle's marriage to Ozge - one of his former employees - is 'fake' and the pair were living together at one of his three properties in the Iskele area of Kyrenia, also known as Girne, where he was arrested. Assistant Commissioner Ryan said Ozge was being detained in Turkey by local authorities, for a matter separate to the AFP investigation.
