Zakaria is understood by The Daily Telegraph to be the right-hand man of Rafat Alameddine, the accused leader of the crime network carrying his surname.

His best mate Younes is a longtime member of the Merrylands gang, although better known for his foray into rap music.

Younes’ high-profile lawyer Abdul Saddik told The Daily Telegraph his client would be handing himself in to police on Thursday and insisted he was not on the run.

Zakaria is described as being of Mediterranean or Middle Eastern appearance, about 180cm tall, of obese build, with brown eyes, black hair and a beard.

Baluch was allegedly planning to flee the country after being granted bail and cutting off his ankle bracelet.

He remains before the courts.
