Forbes, a former member of the Finks bikie gang ‘terror team’ who later joined the Mongols gang, was extradited from South Australia today where he had been serving jail time over unrelated offences.

The heavily tattooed Forbes was brought off a Qantas flight from Adelaide to Brisbane in handcuffs, accompanied by detectives.

He is expected to face Brisbane Magistrates Court later today or tomorrow.

He was allegedly part of a $20 million boiler room fraud scam also allegedly involving former Gold Coast detective turned private eye Mick Featherstone.

Finks bikie gang associate and Broadbeach bikie brawl participant Jason Trouchet was extradited from NSW over the alleged scam, as well as major drug trafficking charges, in March.
