Police have identified a Thai woman known as RoseRose as a suspected key figure in a cross-border drug network accused of using a Thai Airways flight attendant to smuggle heroin to Australia.
The Narcotics Suppression Bureau (NSB) has expanded its investigation following the arrest of Ekkawit Yongnichakul, alias RinRin, an alleged coordinator in the network.
Investigators identified RoseRose as Chantra, a Thai woman of Hmong descent believed to be Mr Ekkawit's elder sister-in-law and a key figure directing the operation.
