Share this Story
Actor Sylvester Stallone was detained at Sydney Airport on February 16 after prohibited substances were allegedly found in his luggage.
Stallone reportedly tried to bring 48 vials of human growth hormone into Australia.
The 60-year-old movie star did not appear in the Downing Centre Local Court on Tuesday where charges against him for importing a banned substance were briefly mentioned. Magistrate David Heilern adjourned the matter to the same court for a plea on April 24. Stallone is excused from attending on that occasion if he is represented by his lawyer, Robert Todd.
The Australian Customs Service has charged Stallone with one count of importing a prohibited import which carries a maxium fine of $110,000, but the maximum financial penalty a local court can impose is $22,000.
