Convicted killer and Nomad bikie Moudi Tajjour reflects on his time in prison

THE cousin of Kings Cross identity John Ibrahim and Nomads life member has shared details of the eight and half years he spent behind bars.

Bikies in Australia: A short history

THE cousin of Kings Cross identity John Ibrahim was the youngest ever bikie to join a club when he became a nominee for the Nomads MC at just 15 years old.

It would take 16 months before Moudi Tajjour 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 last year after the demands of his consulting and wedding motorcycle escorts companies became too much to balance with club duties.

Despite stepping away from his duties, the bikie enforcer is still very involved with the club, having shared a dinner last week with more than a dozen men wearing Nomads hoodies and shirts.

Tajjour posted a video of the outing of the meal with the “Canberra Nomands” to his 29,500 Instagram followers with the caption “N.F.F.N” — a bikie acronym for “Nomad forever, forever Nomad”.

Even though the notorious figure says he is working toward building his legitimate business ventures, Tajjour doesn’t shy away from his colourful past.

This week, the convicted killer reflected on the time he has spent locked up behind bars, sharing a picture one of his ex-girlfriends sent him that was taken inside an Adelaide prison.

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

“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.

Tajjour also claimed he has done time inside Thailand prison, but said it “wasn’t long” and added he had also spent a “few nights” in a Panama remand centre where people are held in custody while they wait for their trial or sentencing.

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.

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.

He was convicted of the crime along with his brother Sleiman, John Ibrahim’s brother Michael and a fourth man, Faouzi Abou-Jibal.

The incident stemmed from Michael Ibrahim’s belief that a rude finger gesture delivered by the victim to his brother George had been actually meant for him.

After the incident, Moudi, Sleiman, Michael and a Abou-Jibal lured both Nassour brothers to an apartment car park in Sydney’s inner west where they were ambushed.

During the attack, Robin Nassour was punched and kicked before being fatally stabbed by Abou-Jibal, while his brother George was wounded.

“The blunt force injuries, lacerations, abrasions and bruising suffered by the deceased make it evident the violence to which he was subjected,” the judge said.

Both Tajjour brothers and Michael Ibrahim said they didn’t know Abou-Jibal was armed until he stabbed George Nassour in his leg.

Abou-Jibal also stabbed Robin Nassour twice, with a wound to his thigh causing loss of blood which ultimately led to his death.

“They did not desist but with this knowledge each of them participated in a brutal and cowardly attack upon (Robin Nassour),” the judge said.

The pleas of guilty to manslaughter were entered on the basis that the three men carried out an “unlawful and dangerous act” as part of a “joint criminal enterprise”.

Both brothers spent four years in jail before being released in March 2010, while Michael Ibrahim was given a maximum term of nine years and four months.

Faouzi Abou-Jibal was fatally shot in the back in a park six months after the killing.

More recently Tajjour made headlines for his short-lived marriage to Salim Mehajer’s younger sister, Sanaa.

The pair wasted no time tying the knot, getting married just two days after announcing their engagement on Christmas Eve last year.

Footage of their nuptials were posted to their loyal Instagram followers using the social media platform’s “Stories” feature.

Video showed the happy couple walking down some stairs while men play drums around them. Sanaa, in an off the shoulder blue dress, also showed off her large engagement ring during what looked to be a reception.

But it seemed an even more extravagant celebration was e in the works with Mehajer posting on Instagram: “Officially #MrsTajjour Stay tuned for our wedding in 2018!”.

The whirlwind union of two of Sydney’s most colourful families sensationally ended on the honeymoon, with Mehajer later taking out an apprehended violence order (AVO) against her estranged husband just months after the wedding.

Mehajer said the pair were best of friends when they started out, but after they were married, their relationship deteriorated into abuse, monstrous name-calling and public threats.

Salim Mehajer’s younger sister said Tajjour first became aggressive while the pair were holidaying in Koh-Samui, Thailand in January.

The details were laid out in court documents as Tajjour faced Burwood Local Court where he consented to an AVO on April 12 this year.

Documents claim that during their honeymoon, Mehajer was forced to move into her own hotel room with Tajjour constantly calling her a “rat” and a “s**t” in an abusive string of text messages

Mehajer fled Thailand but the pair agreed to get back together on Valentine’s Day in February and agreed “to live together to see if they could fix their marriage”.

But within weeks the pair fell out again and Ms Mehajer says they began arguing while in Tajjour’s car and when she tried to exit the vehicle, he pulled her back inside by her hair.

After the incident, Ms Mehajer moved back into her parents’ Lidcombe home, but claimed the bikie continued to torture her over social media.

It was a 50-second expletive-ridden tirade posted online minutes before Tajjour allegedly showed up Sanaa Mehajer’s family home that was the tipping point.

“What did you say to me you little f**king rat, something about DMS and this and the receipts. I dare you to f**k with me, go on, watch how far I’ll take this, I dare you to f**k with me. You wanna make up sh*t about me you little f**king rat. I f**king dare you go on. I’m in the area right now, so I’m not far from where you are. I dare you to post something about me, go on test my f**king patience. I’m waiting for you post, f**king dare you,” he said.

“You now dare you, I dare you to f**k with me. F**king receipts you f**king rat. What f**king receipts you talking about. You wanna talk shit c**t? I’ll ask sh*t about your f**king father. You know what I’ll f**king say. You little rat. I f**king dare you to f**k with me. Come on I’m in the area and my bloods boiling with your family, f**k off.”

While the post did not refer to her by name, Mehajer told police she locked herself in her parent’s home and told them not to answer the door before sharing the post on her own social media account.

When Tajjour appeared on the front lawn he was confronted by Mehajer’s father and the bikie told him in Arabic: “Do you want me to shoot her?”

Following the AVO application, the court ruled Tajjour is not allowed to contact his estranged wife for 12 months, is not allowed to go within 100 metres of her parents’ Lidcombe home and cannot go near her university.

No charges have been laid against Tajjour and he has not admitted fault in any of the matters.
