Queensland court weighs SIEV-X smuggler case
A Brisbane court will decide if an alleged people smuggler, accused of involvement in a scheme leading to the drowning deaths of 353 asylum seekers, has a case to answer.
Maythem Kamil Radhi, 45, was extradited from New Zealand to Australia over claims he was part of a syndicate responsible for placing hundreds of people on board a fishing boat known as SIEV-X in 2001.
The case against him suggests he played a "facilitation" role before the ill-fated voyage left Indonesia, commonwealth prosecutor Daniel Caruana said on Monday.
