The alleged ringleader of a drug dealing gang faces the potential of decades in prison after he was arrested at a Sydney pub.
The Hurstville man, 31, oversaw the supply of ice, heroin and GHB precursor gamma-butyrolactone in Sydney's south and southwest, police alleged on Friday.
But his reign allegedly ended on Thursday morning when arrested at Markets Hotel in Homebush West.
He was refused bail ahead of an appearance in Parramatta Local Court on Friday on six counts of commercial drug supply, directing a criminal group's activities and six other related charges.
If convicted, he faces a maximum of 20 years in prison for the most serious offences.
A Kingsgrove man, 39, arrested alongside the Hurstville man has been charged with participating in a criminal group, ongoing drug supply and commercial drug supply.
He was also bail refused ahead of a court appearance on Friday.
Police say they will forensic examine various items found in the men's homes, including telecommunications devices, drug paraphernalia, credit card reading devices and prohibited drugs.
The pair's arrests follow the charging of seven other people with various offences including drug supply over the group's alleged activities in recent months.
