Meet Mr Comanchero, Mahmoud 'Mick' Hawi

By Kara Lawrence

March 26, 2009 12:00am

AT 28 years old, Mahmoud "Mick" Hawi has it all. And, as president of one of the nation's strongest outlaw motorcycle gangs the Comanchero, Hawi is very, very powerful.

He is married with two children, reportedly owns a number of properties and is, in the words of one friend, "f. . .ing loaded".

And, as president of one of the nation's strongest outlaw motorcycle gangs the Comanchero, Hawi is very, very powerful.

It is a power he wielded yesterday when he publicly appealed for bikies to stop the violence.

His position put him in physical danger at Sydney airport on Sunday when, according to bikie sources, he was caught up in a brawl and stabbed in the arm.

Hawi is said to be extremely careful about his personal security, travelling in bulletproof cars.

In November 2007, Hawi was inches from death when a car he was travelling in was hit by bullets outside Grappa Ristorante in Norton St, Leichardt.

It was about 2pm on the busy Italian restaurant strip when two men pumped up to 10 shots into an Audi and a Mazda as they sped away. The story goes that a bullet lodged itself in Hawi's headrest.

Hawi was allegedly the main target, the other being his right-hand man Daux Ngakuru.

A court was told neither man gave a statement to police. Silence is the bikie code.

Hawi's profile is lower than his contemporaries, including Rebels president Alex Vella and Nomads president Scott Orrock.

Both are frequently in the news - almost always in their colours or on a motorcycle.

Hawi is slightly glamorous.

He takes great care with his grooming and his clothes and jewellery are expensive.

Photographed at his uncle Charlie Saleh's Sapphire Suite nightclub, he sported gold and diamonds, including a ring with the bikies' one per-center logo.

"He is very, very smart and people are jealous. He's f. . .ing loaded, he's got properties all over the place," one associate said.

Beirut-born Hawi is rumoured to live in Brighton-Le-Sands but keeps his actual address secret. His crew is largely based in the Brighton-Le-Sands area.

He has been a driving force behind the trend of bringing young men of Middle Eastern backgrounds into the bikie fold.

Following the Cronulla riots in 2005, he appealed for calm and met with the Bra Boys.

Whether this public appeal works will have very real consequences for Hawi himself, his Comanchero crew and for the Sydney public at large.

Bikie boss arrested with panic pills
Dylan Welch
March 26, 2009 - 5:29PM

The president of a new pseudo-bikie club allegedly involved in a spate of drive-by shootings has been charged with possession of a pile of pills to treat panic disorder.

Police pulled over Allan Sarkis, the president of Notorious, on Anglo Street in Chatswood about 9pm yesterday and found 26 Alprazolam tablets.

Sarkis's arrest makes him the second high-profile bikie gang member to be targeted by police this week.

The sergeant-at-arms of the Bandidos' Parramatta chapter, Mahmoud Dib, was refused bail on Tuesday after he was arrested at his Auburn home in a major police operation.

Police have charged Sarkis, 34, from Hornsby, with having the pills -- traded under the brand name Xanax and used to treat sleep, panic and anxiety disorders -- without a prescription.

He was issued with a field court attendance notice for possessing a prescribed restricted substance and is due to face Hornsby Local Court on May 6.

Notorious is one of the groups allegedly involved in the drive-by attacks in Sydney's west and south-west in the past week.

It is believed they are feuding with the Bandidos Motorcycle Club over historic differences.

[picadore]

So the Comancheros and there president are involved in a big brawl with the Hells Angels at the Sydney airport and now they want to start peace talks?

I wonder why the sudden change??

They are either scared that there "empire" is about to be demolished from new laws introduced.

Or demolished by another bikie club.

Watch as the major clubs jump for cover while the smaller clubs that "are not affiliated" with previously said clubs take action. No smaller club is without influence from a larger group, they are all tasked with different aspects from charity work to being street punks that cause trouble.

Notorious bikie boss Allan Sarkis breaks his silence

The Daily Telegraph

March 28, 2009 12:00am

THE head of Sydney's newest and most-feared bikie gang last night revealed membership is growing rapidly - mainly young men of Middle Eastern heritage who don't all ride motorbikes.

Allan Sarkis, named publicly yesterday as the president of Notorious, made no apologies for his gang's reputation and said they would not be dictated to by traditional bikies.

"We're not following anybody's existing rules," Sarkis said.

"As far as us being the new age bikies, if that's a problem for somebody, we don't apologise.

"We're a bike club that was formed as a motorcycle club to not be undermined and not be dictated to by existing clubs."

Sarkis said the warring outlaw motorcycle clubs should be sorting out their differences behind closed doors - not in public.

After a week in which one man was bashed to death, there were a string of shootings, arrests of gang members and police launched an anti-bikie crackdown, Sarkis said he was "far from panicked".

"I don't have a guilty conscience," he said.

Dressed in jeans, white T-shirt, Nike shoes and no motorbike in sight, Sarkis said Notorious lived by their own strict rules and were not like other bikie gangs.

Just two days after being charged with possessing a prescribed restricted substance, Sarkis said he believed the club was misunderstood and denied the club played a part in Sydney's escalating bikie war.

He said he wouldn't apologise for representing the "new age" in outlaw bikie clubs.

Sarkis, 34, admitted the public perception of Notorious was not "real good", but said he was unworried by the club's reputation within Sydney's bikie underworld.

He said the club had been vilified in the media.

"(Reports) that we're a criminal gang, that we're fighting over drugs. We're not. That we're fighting over security; we're not," he said.

Sarkis said the club was growing at a comfortable rate, but refused to comment on the number of members or chapters in Sydney.

"We're as big as we need to be," he said.

Notorious was formed following the dissolution of the Parramatta chapter of the Nomads. The club has reportedly been involved in a dispute with rivals the Bandidos over drugs and nightclub security.

Sarkis denied any knowledge of a feud with the Bandidos and refused to comment on drive-by shootings in Sydney's west and southwest linked to the club in recent weeks.

He said the club drew members from all religions and ethnic groups.

"Australia has been used to the clubs that have been around for a while and the appearance of a new club has maybe been taken as a threat to them," he said.

He said the club was open to communication with other clubs.

"If there's any club out there that does have an issue with us, or would like to raise an issue with us, I believe it should be kept out of the media, and out of the police," he said.

He said he was not concerned about what other clubs thought of Notorious members.

He described Sydney's bikie wars as "sensationalism".

"The boys we have put together are all leaders. They are not followers," he said.

"We are doing our own thing."

He said the club had a strict policy on drugs: "One thing we don't condone in this club is drugs or anything to do with drugs.

"Linking us to drugs, or the drug trade, is way out of line."

The club lived by a strict code and "we won't allow any of our members to disrespect the club. We keep our house in order".

Police told more facts needed to hold bikies
Geesche Jacobsen Crime Editor
March 28, 2009

POLICE have been warned not to charge people just to get them off the streets in the current bikie war without sufficient evidence against them.

The comment was made by a magistrate yesterday after a fifth man was charged with affray over last Sunday's deadly brawl at Sydney Airport. The 26-year-old senior Comanchero, Christian Menzies, was denied bail.

But police have been told they must produce "something specific" against him by 2pm on Monday or he, and others like him, will be released on bail.

The Central Court magistrate, Allan Moore, who railed against the lack of police evidence last week, said: "If people are continuing to be brought before this court purely for the purpose of removing persons from the street, unless there's something specific, they will achieve bail."

Police had told the court they had footage showing a man wearing Menzies' distinctive clothing and fitting his description leave the plane, and, with four others, surrounding the Hells Angel Derek Wainohu before a brawl erupted close to the departure gate.

Earlier yesterday an unnamed bikie reportedly laughed at calls for peace talks from the Comanchero leader Mahmoud Hawi and told ABC radio that gangs were gathering stocks of weapons and explosives, and flying in supporters from interstate and overseas.

As the victim of last Sunday's attack, Anthony Zervas, was buried, police launched a 75-member taskforce and warned bikies and their associates to expect "in-your-face" policing if they disregarded public safety and the law.

The commander of the gang squad, Superintendent Mal Lanyon, said police took reports that bikie gangs were stockpiling weapons very seriously.

"Strike Force Raptor is a high-impact, proactive response that will target outlaw motorcycle gang members and their associated criminal enterprises," he said. "Officers will target everything from traffic offences and bail compliance to firearm and security licensing, to drug offences and illegal business practices, to violence and retribution."

Late yesterday the president of Notorious sought a meeting to correct what he said was inaccuracies and false statements in the media.

Allan Sarkis, who was charged on Thursday with possessing pharmaceutical pills without a prescription, said Notorious was a motorcycle club that had no involvement in crime and had formed out of a desire to be independent of the traditional clubs.

"We love bikes; we ride," he said. "We don't want to be portrayed to the public as we've been. We want to be acknowledged and respected as a motorcycle club, not as gangsters."

Sarkis said there was no feud between Notorious and the Parramatta chapter of the Bandidos Motorcycle Club.

The club had no association with organised crime and had nothing to with illegal drug distribution, he said.

"One thing we 100 per cent don't condone is drugs," he said. "Drug running, the drug trade - that is way out of line."

Sarkis said some of the friction between Notorious and other clubs was due to the fact Notorious was not traditional.

"We ride bikes but we dress well, we shave and we train," he said. "If that's a problem I apologise. If you want us all to be overweight and bearded, sorry, it's not going to happen."

NSW anti-gang laws 'tougher than South Australia's'

The New South Wales Government is proposing new anti-gang laws that it claims go further than South Australia's controversial legislation.

Last weekend, a man was beaten to death at Sydney Airport in a vicious brawl, and other motorcycle gang-related violence has turned the media spotlight onto what has been described as a bikie war.

Premier Nathan Rees has been reassuring the public that he will act on the surge in violence and tomorrow he will put proposed new laws before Cabinet.

Under the proposals, members of a gang who continue to associate with one another once it has been declared a criminal organisation by the Supreme Court will be charged immediately.

They would face jail terms of two years for first offence, and five years for any subsequent breaches.

Australian Federal Police Commissioner Mick Keelty told Channel Nine the new laws are appropriate.

"New South Wales does have a particular problem in the sense that of the number of outlaw motorcycle gangs that we're aware of, 19 of them are situated in NSW," he said.

"So of the nearly 40 gangs nearly half of them are in NSW."

Rebels Motorcycle Gang

Rebels bikie gang members are travelling from Sydney to Canberra this weekend

Police say they are keeping an eye on a convoy of Rebels bikie gang members, which is travelling from Sydney to Canberra.

The group is on its way to Canberra for an annual tattoo show that is on this weekend, and for Monday's funeral of a gang member.

The gang member, Richard "Rebel Ric" Roberts, was allegedly shot dead in a double murder at a house in the suburb of Chisholm earlier this week.

New South Wales Police say significant police resources will be dedicated to monitoring both events.

This will end in another Milperra



By Marnie O'Neill

March 29, 2009 12:00am

THE man police allege may be fuelling Sydney's bikie war and is a force behind its newest gang, Notorious, has warned Sydney to prepare for more bloodshed.

Speaking exclusively to The Sunday Telegraph, Sam Ibrahim, the former president of the Nomads' Granville chapter, predicted the death toll in the worst bikie gang violence since the Milperra massacre will rise.

Insisting he has retired from gang activity, Ibrahim believes any attempt at a bikie ``peace summit'' was likely to end in further bloodshed.

He said: "There's going to be a lot more dead ... they're not going to stop now. It might take years (for revenge to be exacted), but it'll happen.

It's a very dangerous situation at the moment. Everybody is fighting everybody.

"What do you think's going to happen if the cops get everyone in the same room to discuss peace? It won't be peace that they will get - everyone will just go ateach other.''

Police believe Ibrahim secretly calls the shots within Notorious, formed two years ago while he was in jail on charges relating to a Newcastle shootout and his Nomads chapter was disbanded.

The collapse led to several Nomads defecting to the Bandidos, while others formed Notorious.

Ibrahim denies any involvement with Notorious, which has been linked to several drive-by shootings in recent weeks.

"I've got nothing to do with Notorious - it was (formed) when I was in jail,'' he said.

"Jail took two years of my life. How could I have anything to do with Notorious, when I was locked up? I know people from all the gangs but I'm telling you - I have retired.

"I'm sick of this s***. I just want everyone toleave me alone.''

Ibrahim said he knew some Notorious members because they'd done work for him in the past.

But he denied they looked after security in Kings Cross, where he and his brother, John, own several nightclubs.

In the Wood Royal Commission in the 1990s, Sam and John Ibrahim were named as controllers of the drug industry in Kings Cross - claims both have denied.

In 1997, police charged Sam with supplying cocaine and charged his associate, Greg Craig, the then Nomads national president, with receiving stolen goods but the cases collapsed.

The Sunday Telegraph has been told Notorious has up to 200 members, but police have little information about its size.

One bikie source said: "Notorious is the most powerful and dangerous gang out of all of them.''

In disturbing developments, lawyers for various gangs have been threatened with violence.

A lawyer representing Notorious members was held at gunpoint by masked men who burst into her Hurstville home after midnight and rifled through her property.

Others are understood to have been warned they are targets.

Last week Notorious president Allan Sarkis was charged with possession of 26 Xanax pills without prescription.

On Friday, he told reporters Notorious was not involved with drugs and that to suggest otherwise was insulting.

Well, dumb would be to admit to involvement in the drug trade. Quite the contrary I am impressed by his ability to articulate himself and cover his arse. I expected much worse from bikies, who I just assumed were terribly stupid.

I have never been prouder to be a resident of Parramatta, now I have definite street cred among my friends from more civilized areas. Western suburbs represent. Now I can release a hip-hop album extolling the pains and struggles involved with living in a place so ghetto.

Hells Angel Peter Zervas shot, brotheer Anthony bashed to death at airport
Article from: The Daily Telegraph


THE brother of a man bashed to death at Sydney Airport is fighting for his life after being shot in his driveway last night.

Hells Angel Peter Zervas' attackers were laying in wait as he left his Hyundai to open the garage door to his underground carpark at the block of units that he shares with his family about 11.35pm.

The 32-year-old was found slumped on the ground beside his car on Punchbowl Rd, with nine empty bullet casings scattered around his bleeding body.

Four paramedics, under police guard battled to keep him alive in the back of an ambulance as he was taken to St George Hospital, where he underwent emergency surgery.

He is now in a serious but stable condition with bullet wounds to his chest, leg and arm.

Hysterical screams and wailing could be heard from his home this morning.

Heavy security is patrolling the hospital. Five public order and riot squad crews and Pol Air are keeping watch.

Police are searching for a man who darted across the road shortly after the shooting, and for a driver who blasted his horn after nearly hitting the man.

The car, only described as white, was heading east along Punchbowl Rd.

Gallery: From airport death to killings and mayhem

Mr Zervas' brother Anthony was bashed to death in frost of shocked commuters at Sydney Aiport last week.

Campsie Local Area Command Superintend ant Peter Lennon this morning called for urgent public assistance.

"Any information provided will be treated with the strictest of confidence," he said.

"The man seen running away from the unit block onto Punchbowl Road is described as being around 173cm tall, of muscular build, with long dark collar length hair wearing a dark long sleeved jacket and dark jeans.

"Police are appealing for the driver of a white motor vehicle that had to sound its horn while avoiding the man running across Punchbowl Road, shortly after the gunshots, to come forward. The car was travelling east bound at the time."

Police last night locked down a 300m stretch of Punchbowl Rd as forensic officers, detectives and police dogs scoured the street looking for shell casings and other clues.

fuck indeed.

I forsee a lot of trouble brewing. Which is bad for everyone. Let's hope its over, or more peacefull as soon as possible.

 

[kingpin007]

There is no chance for peace talks now ......

If I was a biker I would not be wearing my colors for a while and certainly would be looking over my shoulder ...

It would have been easy for them to find him because he was at the funeral for his brother and someone would have simply followed them around afterwards..

Bikers use police tactics as well in locating people ...

The leader of the comancheros lives near me as I have seen him around and I bet he will have boys with him 24/7.

The Hells angels tried to open a tattoo parlor in june last year and it was shot up and firebombed ...If you try and open a tattoo parlor in another gangs territory what you expect, Especially when the Leader of the comancheros lives in that area ?

Hells angels pushed the comancheros buttons and it's been going on since then.8)

I am expecting retaliation by hells angels for this to be over my way in next few days ...
