MDMA worth £44million has been found hidden in a digger being shipped from the UK to Australia.
In total five people were arrested after police seized more than 450 kilograms of the class A drug while it was being transported from Southampton to Brisbane on 15 March.
Danny Brown, 53, and Stefan Baldauf, 60, were arrested in Putney by National Crime Agency (NCA) officers on 15 June, while Peter Murray, 57, was held outside his home in Greenwich on 1 October.
All three have been charged with conspiring to export Class A drugs, while German national Baldauf was also charged with illegal entry in breach of a deportation order. The men are due to appear at Kingston Crown Court on 15 January next year.
