Alleged senior crime boss Masood Zakaria was hauled back to Australia in chains, where he was a most-wanted man after fleeing to Turkey just before a police task force was about to raid his home to arrest him. He was all smiles when he landed. Let me tell you about it.
The Mob Reporter here with news of the latest big fish caught in the net of international cooperation â the inglorious, enforced return of a fugitive; an immense man, physically, yes, but more importantly immensely influential, police say, in a hyperactive underworld where billions are up for grabs.
Police say the 28-year-old Masood Zakaria is a key man in one of Australiaâs most dangerous and powerful crime syndicates, known as the Alameddine.
He is pegged as the Alameddineâs Number 2 man. He seems to be at the center of Sydneyâs underworld, friends with members of the Comanchero Motorcycle Club, the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club, and street gangs, including the KVT gang. The gangland war has been costly, including a feud with rival crime family known as the Hamzy clan, sometimes spelled Hamze. The rivals revolved around Bassam Hamzy, who has been locked up since 1999. Zakaria is now charged with conspiracy to murder. The target, police say, was Ibrahem Hamze. Zakaria was arrest in Bodrum, Turkey, now spelled as TĂŒrkiye. After fighting hie deportation, he was put on a plane to Darwin, Australia, and then flown to Sydney, where he faces serious charges. He was paraded through Sydney airport, as reporters asked him questions, which he answered only with a smile and a chuckle. He has a good game face.
