ACCUSED drug smugglers Ivan Valea and Julia Fernandez will front court at midday today after they were arrested in 2011 in one of Australia's biggest cocaine busts.
The couple will face Bundaberg Supreme Court charged with importing/exporting commercial quantities of border controlled drugs, alongside Jose Herrero-Calvo, 38, of Sydney, and Miguel Angel Sanchez Barrocal, 39, of the Gold Coast.
Valea, 35, and Ferrandez, 37, were arrested in October 2011 after police seized more than 300kg of cocaine worth up to $120 million hidden in the hull of their yacht.
The Friday Freedom, a 17m ketch, had been under surveillance since September 2011 as part of a 10-month investigation by Australian Federal Police.
The four Spaniards face life imprisonment if convicted.
