Alameddine crime network

Australian organized crime group

The Alameddine crime network is an Australian organised crime group that operates out of the Western Sydney suburb of Merrylands. The gang, which is allegedly led by Rafat Alameddine, is allegedly one of the biggest drug-trafficking organisations in Sydney, with New South Wales Police declaring the organisation to have reportedly earned around $1 million in weekly profit at its peak. Since October 2020, the Alameddines have grown to public notoriety in connection to an extended feud they became involved in with the Hamzy/Hamze crime family, the most dominant faction of the Brothers for Life organisation, within the Sydney gangland war of the early 2020s. The Alameddine family is also linked to the street gang Proper60, as referenced by Ali 'Ay Huncho' Younes in his music. As of March 2024, police in Australia claim to have dismantled the remnants of the notorious Alameddine crime gang after a series of raids led to over a dozen arrests, including rapper Ali "Ay Huncho" Younes. A 250-officer operation in south-west Sydney at 3 a.m. on Wednesday targeted a major drug network following the shutdown of 26 "drug-run phones" linked to over 50,000 users. Authorities believe they have "eradicated" the gang's presence in the country.
