Sydney’s biggest cocaine gang allegedly raked in tens of millions of dollars in exchange for almost 1.2 tonnes of cocaine in a few short months.
Police documents exclusively obtained by The Telegraphreveal a stunning insight into the modus operandi of The Commission — who are believed to control the distribution and price of cocaine on Sydney’s streets.
The documents indicate police will accuse Jibreel Bakir of masterminding The Commission in Sydney, which allegedly included his brother Laith Bakir, Akrom Hamzy, Houssam Khoder Agha, and Khalid Mohamed.
Each are now facing multiple drug supply charges, some of which carry a potential sentence of life imprisonment.
Police will allege Laith Bakir and Hamzy, who was represented by prominent criminal lawyer Mostafa Daoudie, were responsible for storing bulk cocaine quantities at their homes and in cars with “sophisticated hidden compartments”.
Laith and Hamzy allegedly distributed cocaine at Jibreel’s direction to accused runners Khoder Agha and Mohamed.
The documents indicate police will allege cocaine was distributed using the “dead drop method”, where drugs would be left in parks all over Sydney to be picked up.
Jibreel allegedly co-ordinated The Commission’s supply of 1190kg of cocaine to Mohamed and other customers across NSW from April to July.
Laith is alleged to have supplied Mohamed with 808kg of cocaine, and another 59kg to Hamzy between May and July.
Hamzy allegedly supplied 303kg of cocaine to Mohamed between May and July, who allegedly received $14,373,790 in return.
In total, Mohamed and Jibreel allegedly dealt with almost $27m in crime proceeds.
Another co-accused, Duy Phong Nguyen, allegedly laundered more than $1.1m of the proceeds for the syndicate.
Police swooped on Mohamed on July 25 after he allegedly supplied 1kg of cocaine to someone known to police, with a subsequent search of his car allegedly uncovering 12kg of cocaine and $15,000 cash.
Subsequent surveillance on The Commission’s alleged members is said to have revealed Khoder Agha collecting cocaine from dead drops allegedly facilitated by Laith and Hamzy.
A raid on Hamzy’s Glenfield home then allegedly uncovered a duffel bag with 20kg of cocaine, and a “sophisticated hidden compartment” in his car containing another 2kg.
Police Commissioner Karen Webb warned NSW has a massive drug problem and that more needs to be done to tackle voracious demand in the wake of the arrests.
