Slaimankhel, who currently stars on the home renovation reality series was
allegedly driving in a vehicle with Baluch in Sydney on the night of
October 25 last year, according to The Daily Telegraph.
The two men, who are both Australian-Afghani,
were heading along the city's northern beaches when the accused crime boss
facing life behind bars for allegedly importing $270million cocaine, removed
his tracking monitor in a desperate bid to escape overseas.
He was found by police 16
days later, hidden in the boot of a Mercedes concealed inside a shipping
container being towed by a truck on the NSW-Queensland border.
