Detectives say the arrests of more than a dozen people – including notorious rapper Ali “Ay Huncho” Younes – have allegedly “cleaned up” the Alameddine clan on Australian shores.
The remnants of the high-profile Alameddine crime gang have been unravelled in Australia, police say, following sweeping raids that led to the arrest of more than a dozen people – including notorious rapper Ali “Ay Huncho” Younes.
As police cracked down on the alleged dangerous underworld of the Alameddine crew, many members fled to Lebanon. “They’ve been around for a long time; when you look at the quantity of product they were distributing, we will allege that this network was making up to $1 million per week profit, which is a significant amount of money, which drives this conflict, fuels the violence fuels the antagonism between the groups.”In a “dial-a-dealer” network, major drug dealers use runners to drive to users and exchange drugs for cash.
State Crime Command’s criminal groups squad Commander, Detective Superintendent Grant Taylor, said Younes was in custody awaiting to be questioned over an aggravated kidnapping in Granville on January 19 and allegedly participating in a criminal group. He has not been charged.
