“They raised me. If it wasn’t for them me and my brother wouldn’t be who we are today,” Moudi Tajjour said.

“If it wasn’t for my cousins, I’d be working at McDonald’s probably,” he told a Bikie News video segment.

Moudi Tajjour reflects on his time in prison

The Sydney-based convicted killer, who has developed a cult social media following, has recounted how the Ibrahims looked after him after his early life in a housing commission flat.

“My cousins, they come from the Ibrahim family, mums and sisters and my cousin...who I looked up to and my cousin John.

“My dad f***ed off on us and I moved in with my older cousin Sam and my cousin John were looking after us. So I’ve always got a fond memory of my cousins.

“I’m grateful to them.They brought me into this life. We’re still very tight.

“We don’t see each other much anymore because they’re all busy with their lives... (but) I don’t forget where I come from.

“Let me tell you, once a lion, always a lion.

“Just because now I’ve got my own name, I’m a somebody now, I came up through the ranks of the Ibrahim family with my cousins. I don’t forget that. My cousins were the kings.”

Tajjour was only 15 years old when he joined a motorcycle club after dropping out of school.

It would take 16 months before he would become a full-patched member as former bikie boss Hassan “Sam” Ibrahim kept taking his colours for brawling with members inside the club.

What followed next would be a life of crime that would see him become a life member of the one percenter motorcycle club that was founded in Sydney, Australia in 1980.

Tajjour quickly made a name for himself and the Nomads on the tough streets of Sydney, acting as the right-hand man to be his older brother, Sleiman, who was also the club’s national president.

After holding the high standing title for close to a decade, Tajjour handed in his vice president patch in 2017 after the demands of his consulting and wedding motorcycle escorts companies became too much to balance with club duties

In an article in The Daily Telegraph last year, the notorious figure revealed he was working toward building his legitimate business ventures but said he doesn’t shy away from his colourful past.

The Nomads life member said he spent one year in Adelaide prison and around seven and a half years inside the Sydney jail system.

Tajjour’s most high profile imprisonment came in 2006 when he was convicted of the manslaughter of Robin Nassour — the brother of Fat Pizza actor George Nassour.

“Life’s a roller coaster one minute your (sic) smelling the fresh air the next your (sic) stuck in hell, smelling the worsed (sic) smells ever,” he wrote.

Having spent close to a decade in and out of the prison system, Tajjour detailed how he has now learnt to value his freedom.

“Live life to the fullest cause (sic) you just never know wen (sic) it’s all gonna (sic) end and lights out. Have no regrets in life, travel and see the world,” he wrote in the post.
