George Hatsiosifidis, Alecos Antoniades, Murat Hussein, Steve Salih, Paul Mouzakis, Con Spiliotopoulos, Steve Dourampeys, Dimitrious Vamvouris, Penny Loisos and Bill Karagiannis all appeared at Moree Local Court on Tuesday on charges of cultivating and supplying a prohibited drug.
Co-accused Dimitrios Passaris, Saverio Multari, Peter Antonopoulos and Robert Vito Giammaria had appeared on Thursday last week in Central Local Court for the same charges.
Only Karagiannis and 69-year-old Vasilios Hatzis remain on conditional bail.
The rest have been remanded in custody since their arrest.
Some of the group will face court via an audio-visual link while remaining in prison.
The group were arrested after detectives from the NSW Drug Squad and Western Region police swooped on a property near Narrabri, discovering
3.2 tonnes of dried cannabis worth an estimated
$45 million.
All will appear at Central Local Court on August 12.
