Sydney has been home to a deadly
drug war largely centred on two high-profile names – the Alameddines and the
Hamzys – believed to be behind many of the 20 killings linked to organised
crime since 2020.
Strike Force Wessex was launched
in April after police allegedly discovered a major “dial-a-dealer” drug network
while investigating four gangland murders. They included the brazen killing of
39-year-old Omar Zahed, gunned down in an Auburn gym in May 2022 and his
brother and Comanchero boss Tarek who survived up to 10 bullet wounds in the
same attack.
As police cracked down on the
alleged dangerous underworld of the Alameddine crew, many members fled to
Lebanon.
Now, police say they’ve caught
who is left on Australian shores. While the 15 men arrested in the 3am raids did
not share the Alameddine name, it’s believed
the search warrants “eradicated” their clan in the country. None of those
arrested have been charged in connection to the gangland killings.
