High-profile rapper and alleged Alameddine crime clan member Ali ‘Ay Huncho’ Younes has headed off overseas just days after avoiding  jail over a vicious affray at a boxing match that left a man with a broken neck.

Younes, 26, was on Monday dealt with alongside associates Moshtaba Hafizi, 26, and Charbel Nohra, 25, in relation to the shocking fight that involved the use of a pole to bash another man on November 27, 2021.

After negotiations with NSW Police prosecutors, all three men pleaded guilty to affray. The victim was left with a broken nose, a fractured neck and cuts all across his face.

Younes has since taken off on a holiday overseas, posting a photo of himself sitting in a business class seat to Instagram on Wednesday night saying he was going overseas “after 5 long years being held down by the authorities”.

Several of Younes’ best friends and closest associates, including alleged crime clan boss Rafat Alameddine and Massood Zakaria, are currently overseas.

The affray has been the biggest charge hanging over Younes’ head since December 2021, when he and three other men were accused of going on the run after becoming aware police intended to arrest them.

Among them was alleged Alameddine kingpin Zakaria, who left Australia on a fishing boat after becoming aware he was wanted over the affray and several other matters including an alleged conspiracy to murder.

Court documents revealed Younes was heard talking on police listening devices with alleged Alameddine kingpin Masood Zakaria (right) about the brawl in the hours after it happened.

Court documents detailed how Younes had arrived at a warehouse which had been turned into a “makeshift gym” for the amateur boxing fights, alongside Hafizi and Zakaria.

Within an hour a fight had broken out, with Nohra throwing the first punch at the victim.

Magistrate James Gibson told Fairfield Local Court there was no conclusive evidence to suggest what any of the three men had done in the fight, rather they had pleaded guilty to affray on account of being “aiders and abettors”.

The court heard that after leaving the fight Younes, Hafizi and Zakaria got into a car, presumably unaware police had a listening device in it.

The three men — and an unknown fourth man who had joined them — then had a conversation during which “references were made by the persons in the vehicle to someone picking up a pole and a chair, and a person being knocked unconscious and being assaulted while unconscious”.

Younes, who was represented by high-profile solicitor Abdul Saddik and barrister April Giles, was serving a conditional release order (CRO) for a separate affray in Kings Cross when the boxing brawl occurred, the court heard.

But despite his criminal history he was sentenced to an 18-month community corrections order (CCO) and was also given a $550 fine for breaching the CRO.

Younes’ co-accused Hafizi was not given a conviction over the affray and was sentenced to two-year CRO.

Nohra received the same penalty as his rapper mate, but on top of that was convicted and fined $200 for a separate offence of possessing a prohibited drug.
