Police ‘eradicate’ one of Sydney’s most high-profile crime gangs

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.

A 250-officer strong operation, launched in Sydney’s south-west at 3am Wednesday, was targeting a major drug network. It followed the alleged shutdown of 26 “drug-run phones” connected to more than 50,000 alleged users.

As police cracked down on the alleged dangerous underworld of the Alameddine crew, many members fled to Lebanon.

The alleged leader of the Alameddine gang, Rafat Alameddine, has been living freely in Lebanon since November 2022 when he left Sydney weeks after being cleared of assaulting an Uber driver, The Daily Telegraph reported. Alameddine has not been charged with any offences related to the underworld war.
