This cosy get together of Comanchero bikie mates could be the last for a while as police seek to ban alleged crime figure Mohamad “Moey” Alameddine from associating with a list of alleged underworld figures.

The Daily Telegraph can reveal the list of 23 men and one woman - Elly Greenfield, 30 - who police want to stop Alameddine, 38, having any contact with “to protect the public” as the cops battle organised crime and violence including across Sydney’s south west.

They well-known names include Comanchero sergeant-at-arms Tarek Zahed, 42, who survived an attack in May that claimed the life of his brother Omar, and the gang’s national president Allan Meehan, 35, who met up in Melbourne at the weekend with the photo of them posted to Meehan’s Instagram account.

There is fellow Comanchero boss Mark Buddle, 38, who was recently extradited from Turkey charged with importing about $40 million worth of cocaine, and Buddle’s friend Ali Bazzi, 44.

They include Rafat Alameddine, 31, who police allege is the leader of the crime clan carrying his family name, and his alleged right-hand man Masood Zakaria, 27, who both had serious crime prevention order taken out against them in late-2020.

The names are included on Supreme Court documents as NSW Police Commissioner Karen Webb has applied to impose a serious crime prevention order on Alameddine which would restrict his lifestyle, where he lives, what he drives and even what mobile phone he uses.

“There are reasonable grounds to believe that the making of an order in relation to (Alameddine) would protect the public by preventing, restricting or disrupting involvement by the defendant in serious crime related activities,” the police statement of claim says.

“(He) defendant has close connections to the Comanchero Outlaw Motorcycle Gang the participants of which are known to participate in joint criminal enterprises in order to undertake drug trafficking activities as well as criminal acts of violence;

“(He) has been involved in serious crime related activity for which he has not been convicted of a serious criminal offence.”

Alameddine, who despite his surname is not directly related to the infamous crime family who have been warring with the Hamzys, has been charged but not convicted of directing a criminal group, to counts of armed robbery and two counts of dealing with the proceeds of crime, the court was told.

He has been convicted dealing with property that was the proceeds of crime, aggravated break and enter, driving a car taken without the consent of its owner and two counts of possessing articles with intent to destroy or damage other’s property.

Alameddine, who court files show rents a $1.5 million Pyrmont unit, is fighting the serious crime prevention order and has subpoenaed documents relating to listening devices from the department of the Federal Attorney-General as well as documents held by the police.

A hearing on those applications set down for next week is likely to be adjourned, the court was told on Monday.

On the list are Victor Youssef, 37, Mohammed Saab, 39, Moustafa Mariam, 38, and Hilal Merhi, 38, who is facing several counts of knowingly giving false evidence at a hearing, obstructing or hindering the NSW Crime Commission in exercise of its functions and refusing to produce a required document as a witness.

There is Timmy Chandab, 36, Mohammed Arnaout, 43, Ashraf Sawires, 29, David Eskarous, 40, Mustafa Ramlawie, 33, Khaled Ramlawie, 31, Stephen Bou-Abbse, 33, Dean Carr, 40, Asaad Alahmad, 29, Joseph Vokai, Ali Younes, 25, Alen Moradian, 48, and Elly Greenfield, 30.
