Raymond Bayssari arrested on drug charges in Fairfield

The dad of an Alameddine crime clan associate has been charged with allegedly supplying drugs across Sydney.

The father of an Alameddine crime clan associate has been charged with supplying drugs across Sydney in recent months.

Raymond Bayssari was arrested at his Fairfield home about 7am on Tuesday by Criminal Groups Squad officers working as part of Strike Force Newnham, who took him into custody over his alleged involvement in the drug supply ring.

NSW Police have since charged the 54-year-old with three counts of supplying a prohibited drug more than a commercial quantity, supplying prohibited drugs on an ongoing basis and supplying more than indictable amount of prohibited drugs.

The Daily Telegraph is not suggesting the Bayssari was in anyway linked to the Alameddine clan.

At the same time officers were at Bayssari’s Fairfield address a search warrant was also being carried out in Wentworthville.

Police will specifically allege Bayssari supplied 66g of meth and five litres of GBL across April and July this year.

Bayssari’s arrest comes seven months after his son John Ray Bayssari, 31, handed himself in to police.

The Alameddine associate was among four men allegedly linked to the infamous crime clan to go on the run in December last year.

While he and two others handed themselves in, one of his alleged associates Masood Zakaria fled overseas.

John Ray Bayssari remains before the courts on separate drug possession charges.

Bayssari did not appear when his case was mentioned at Fairfield Local Court on Wednesday.

Lawyer Zaki Hajjar asked for the matter to be adjourned for a bail application on Thursday. He ultimately accepted a future court date of September 23..

Court documents tendered to court state three of the drug supply charges were precise to the minute and detailed allegations of the supply of 2L of GBL between 1:17am and 1:18am on July 13..

The ongoing drug supply charge relates to the alleged supply of methylamphetamine from May 19 to August 4.
