Heroin kings crowned, mules executed - The West Australian

Heroin kings crowned, mules executed - The West Australian: Glenys Bennett and she would become one of his drug mules.
On her first trip to Malaysia, in May that year to pick up 2kg of heroin, she was accompanied by the middleman who connected Musarri with the Golden Triangle. Girolamo 'Gerry' Maio made millions out of those connections until he was finally jailed for 18 years in Melbourne after being nabbed with two Malaysian men and $9.7 million worth of heroin.
In August 1983, Bennett took her second trip to Malaysia, this time accompanied by Giovanni Garoffolo, whose pockets were stuffed with $30,000 in cash. At the Rasa Sayang Hotel on Penang's Batu Ferringhi strip, they met a man named 'Charlie' and handed over the money. In return, he gave them a 2.4kg package.
But this trip would turn sour. On their arrival back in Perth, Bennett and Garoffolo were allowed straight through Customs. Bennett went home and unstrapped the heroin from her chest. Later that night, Garoffolo and Musarri arrived to pick it up despite spotting detectives hiding nearby. They grabbed the package and made a run for it before being caught when a high-speed chase came to a sudden end."
