Regular profits from regular 500kg cocaine flights would presumably buy lots of cooperation from corrupt individuals on both sides of the PNG-Aus border.
Was this regular cocaine smuggling activity only "officially detected" and terminated because the plane crashed - preventing corrupt individuals on both sides of the border from being paid off this time?
