A Sydney man has been busted trying to flee the country after detectives allegedly found $7 million in cash buried underneath a concrete floor.
The NSW Police drug and firearm squad launched an investigation in 2020, which last week culminated in raids on two homes in Marrickville and Roselands.
While searching a shed at the Roselands property, police say they uncovered a stash of money hidden under a concrete floor.
The cash - estimated to be more than $7 million - was seized and, following further inquiries, a 39-year-old Earlwood man was arrested at Sydney airport.
Detectives nabbed the man around 9pm on Thursday, as he was attempting to board a flight to Dubai.
The man has been charged with knowingly dealing with proceeds of crime and has been refused bail to appear at Central Local Court on Friday.
