Adelaide grandmother, 82, is charged for allegedly attempting to importing ... trends now

An 82-year-old grandmother-of-six who has been charged with allegedly importing $3.2million worth of cocaine has claimed she's innocent and has 'never even touched a cigarette'.

Evdocia 'Effie' Phelivanidis, from Adelaide, was charged alongside her 30-year-old grandson Kosta Phelivanidis after South Australia police raided her home of 56 years on Wednesday.

Police will allege the octogenarian - who is described by neighbours as a 'lovely lady who loves to sew' -  was part of a drug syndicate who were attempting to import at least 8kg of cocaine.

But after being released on bail, the mother-of-two told Channel Seven she had 'no idea' about any cocaine in her home and has 'never touched drugs, not even a cigarette'.
