A Canadian man called the “Chinese El Chapo” who allegedly ran a meth empire that spanned the planet has been extradited to Australia.

Cops say that Tse Chi Lop, 59, is one of the “most high-profile arrests” ever made by Aussie police.

His extradition from the Netherlands culminates a long-running probe into a man investigators claim is one the planet’s biggest drug kingpins who sat atop its largest organized crime syndicate, known as “The Company.”

According to the Australian Federal Police (AFP), Tse — a mysterious Canadian national — was the syndicate’s Mr. Big.

The Company allegedly attempted to traffic 20 kg of methamphetamine — worth about $4.4 million — between Australia’s two biggest cities, Sydney and Melbourne. The alleged scheme took place between March 2012 and March 2013.

News.com reports that the gangsters used “money laundering emitters offshore and in Australia” including using the name of a local casino in a bank account to pay for the dope.
