Ex-Nomads bikie boss vows revenge on attackers

Former NSW bikie boss Mouhamed ‘Moudi’ Tajjour has issued a chilling warning to a group of thugs who attacked him outside a Gold Coast Bunnings, declaring he is coming out of retirement to exact revenge.

Graphic footage shows the 38-year-old ex-Nomads bikie being beaten to the ground on Saturday afternoon.

A 31-year-old Park Ridge man was arrested by Queensland police on Monday afternoon in connection with the attack and is being held by detectives from the state’s Organised Crime Gangs Group. Vision of Tajjour being set upon went viral over the weekend, but police investigations were initially stymied by the absence of any formal complaint.

The attackers - all heavily-tattooed men - take turns punching and kicking Tajjour as he tries to protect himself on the ground.

Tajjour quit the Nomads years ago and has been attempting to rebrand himself as a social media star and influencer.

Saturday’s attack appears to have pushed Tajjour too far however, with the convicted killer proclaiming on TikTok he is coming out of retirement.

“Now they will live with looking over their shoulder for the rest of their f***ing life,” Tajjour said.

“I’m out of retirement, I’m back in the f***ing club.

“This was a wake-up for me, I can never leave this life.”

Tajjour goes on the TikTok clip to describe how the attack unfolded, although he remained off-camera so as not to glorify his injuries.

“I was f***ng on my phone, I looked up and got dog-shotted,” he said.

“Then I got surrounded and he got me a f***ing beauty and then they got me. His mates started coming from the side they got me good, straight out.

“I won’t show my face because I have a little black eye, I won’t give them the courtesy of taking a screenshot.”

Sources said senior Mongols members had tried to distance themselves and the club from the incident.

But Tajjour has seemingly refused to listen, taking to TikTok and Instagram on Monday morning to launch a foul-mouthed tirade against the bikie gang.

“Message to all the Mongols in Australia, good morning you f***ots,” he said in a video.

The Mongols have long had a stronghold in Queensland, particularly on the Gold Coast where the convicted killer has been living.

Underworld sources said the attack on Tajjour could be viewed as a show of strength and an effort to highlight the weakness of the Nomads OMCG.

It is believed Tajjour recently moved from Sydney to the Gold Coast to be closer to his son.

A Queensland Police Service spokesperson said officers spoke with a number of people after the incident, and no complaints had been made.

They issued three traffic infringements for minor matters. Queensland police are reviewing CCTV from the area as their investigations continue.

Tajjour rose to public prominence as the national president of bikie gang Nomads in 2018 before dramatically retiring from the group years later.

He was the youngest-ever recruit into the Nomads in the late 1990s after joining up when he was just 15 years old.

His brother, Sleiman, is the current president of the Nomads and his cousin is Kings Cross identity John Ibrahim.

He served more than four years in jail for the manslaughter of Robin Nassour and briefly married one of Salim Mehajer’s sisters.

He was prevented from seeing any of his bikie friends under a strict police crackdown on outlaw motorcycle gangs which at the time sent him spiralling into a “dark” and “lonely” place.

Tajjour sat down with The Daily Telegraph’s award-winning docu-series The War earlier this year where he spoke of how he no longer desired the gangster life.

“I was in jail a long time, bro. I haven’t got a bone left in me that desires a gangster life,” Tajjour

“When I had a target on my back I didn’t like it at all. I was very paranoid.

“The streets are very dangerous now. When I see on the news a man in his 20 being murdered I think f**k imagine his dad.

“I can’t put myself in their predicament but if my son was killed I don’t even know.

“How it is now it is very dangerous. It is not fun to be a gangster anymore.”

In 2020 Tajjour told The Daily Telegraph he was the happiest he had ever been following his departure from the Nomads and his brother gave him the “blessing” to burn his bikie colours and leave his past behind.

“He said, ‘Go, burn your colours and I’ll send word out and no one will approach you, burn your colours and you’re out.’

“It sent shivers up my spine. It was a happy moment but I was also upset as I walked away from 20 years on the street.

“Now I’ve never been happier, it took me six weeks to adjust.”

The life change also led Tajjour to seek help, start taking medication to help him manage his temper and revisit his faith by praying five times a day.

“The medication is to help me keep calm, before I got angry very easily. Even with the virus the old me would’ve smashed up the cafe.”

“I’ve always been a believer [in Islam] but I’ve never been outspoken, I always kept to myself, I was always caught between religion and living a gangster life.”
