Two men have been charged over the murder of Sydney underworld figure Mahmoud “Brownie” Ahmad.

The men, both aged 33, were arrested following police raids on four properties in Campsie and Clemton Park yesterday morning.

The Clemton Park man was charged with accessory after the fact to murder, among 16 offences. They were both charged with directing the activities of a criminal group and with supplying commercial quantities of methylamphetamine and cocaine worth around $3 million.

Ahmad was gunned down in a hail of bullets outside a home in Greenacre in April 2022.

Mahmoud Brownie Ahmad was fatally shot in Greenacre in April 2022.

NSW police officers frantically tried to save Mahmoud Ahmad, but he died in the street.

Four men – aged 26, 29, 37 and 49 – have previously been charged over their alleged involvement in the murder and remain before the courts.

In January 2023 charges were dropped against a man police originally alleged was an accessory to the murder of Ahmad.

Mahmoud “Brownie” Ahmad was one of Sydney’s biggest underworld figures.

Investigations under Task Force Erebus continue.

Ahmad was a well known underworld crime figure who not averse to using his feared reputation and also threats to target rich people and extort them of their cash.

A car, believed to be the getaway vehicle after Brownie’s murder was set alight on Davidson Street.

Four men have already been arrested for their alleged involvement in the murder of Ahmad.

He had only recently walked free from prison after spending five years behind bars for the manslaughter of fellow underworld figure Safwan Charbazi at a Condell Park scrap yard in 2016.

Charbazi’s death was followed by a series of other murders, including that of Ahmad’s brother, Wally, who was fatally shot in broad daylight at Bankstown shopping centre.

It was common knowledge among Sydney gangsters that there was a longstanding feud between the Ahmad and Alameddine families, but things had died down while he was serving time.

Homicide Squad Commander Detective Superintendent Danny Doherty previously confirmed police had warned Ahmad multiple times that his life was in danger following his death.

“(This is) the consequences of him continuing on in the Bankstown area of going about his normal business as if he hadn’t care in the world, but he was in imminent danger and it was warning that had been given to him.”

Another of his brothers, Ahmad “Rock” Ahmad, is serving a minimum eight-year jail sentence over a drug importation plot.

In that case, a court heard an undercover cop called Zane won the trust of high ranking members in a syndicate, including crime figure Michael Ibrahim, and said he could help get drugs into Australia undetected.
