Trent Jeske is no longer the “heavyweight” alleged Alameddine enforcer he once was after losing a dramatic amount of weight. See what he looks like now.

Trent Jeske is allegedly an enforcer of the Alameddine crime clan but an incredible new photograph show that he may no longer be the “heavyweight” he once was.

The 23-year-old is currently on bail on charges including possessing an unauthorised firearm, affray and a breach of Covid restrictions following a raid on his home in September last year.

The Daily Telegraph can reveal he spent his freedom undergoing lap band surgery to lose a massive amount of weight.

Pictures comparing Jeske before and after his surgery show that while the tattoos are still there, gone is all of the stomach fat and many of the chins.

Jeske is alleged to have been involved in a brawl on Osgood St in Guildford on September 5 last year at the home of another person linked to the Alameddine clan.

Police allege the fight occurred because the Alameddine associate who lived on Osgood St resisted giving up information about another neighbour.

That neighbour is understood to have been Salim Hamze, an associate of the rival Hamzy family who would be shot dead only six weeks later on October 19.

Hamze’s father Toufik – an innocent man not linked to gangland crime – was also killed as he sat beside his son in a car, about to go to work.

It is not alleged Jeske or any Alameddine associate were at all involved in the double homicide.

While his lap band surgery has been a major positive of his time on bail, Jeske was refused when he applied to a court earlier this year to have the strict conditions of his freedom altered to allow him to go on holiday.

“This is a family holiday, not a holiday with members of any sort of network,” Jeske’s high-profile solicitor Abdul Saddik told Parramatta Local Court in January.

“Considering Mr Jeske has been obedient to his bail conditions he would continue being obedient to his bail conditions and appear in court on the next occasion.”

But Magistrate Cate Follent denied his request, citing his alleged links to organised crime as a concern.
