Jesse Marrogi lent the crime family’s fleet of luxury cars to BBG Smokey for music video

The brash little brother of crime family boss George Marrogi starred in a rap video showing off the gang’s fleet of luxury cars.

At the height of its power, the Notorious Crime Family was so brazen that gang boss George Marrogi’s little brother Jesse Marrogi lent the gang’s fleet of luxury cars to rapper to use in a music video.

The Collingwood rapper BBG Smokey, real name Sean Deng, said his music was inspired by “my brothers getting locked up”.

“The current situation I face in life is when one brother goes in, another brother comes out; that’s the pattern,” he said.

Jesse Marrogi appeared in the music video with his face covered, but could clearly be identified by his large “fuck the law” tattoo across his belly, Assyrian motifs and the words “Crime Pays” on his back.

Police believe Jesse Marrogi is largely living off the wealth accumulated by his brother’s gang, and he does not have the ability, or the connections, to run the kind of high-level criminal activities the NCF’s leadership was seemingly getting away with until investigators got wind of the gang’s work.

Jesse Marrogi’s only significant conviction stems from the purchase of a $130,000 Porsche Cayenne from Pickles Auctions in Tullamarine in 2018. At the time, he did not have a job and hadn’t filed a tax return for years.

Deng’s record label, 66 Records, has been closely monitored by police since its launch in 2018, when a street brawl outside the Gasometer Hotel in Collingwood ended with a teenager losing his leg.

The label at the time said Deng’s music was about “his friends who’ve been dealt an unfair hand with the law”.

The Herald Sun can reveal most of the cars in the music video, including two Jeeps with customised “NCF” number plates, a gold-plated Harley-Davidson and a Lamborghini Huracan, have either been confiscated by the authorities under proceeds of crime laws or sold off as police tightened their grip on the gang.

Jesse Marrogi’s involvement in the gang, other than as a close confidante of his older brother, remains unclear.

He left the country around the time George Marrogi was found guilty of murdering Kadir Ors, and is thought to have spent most of his time since in the Middle East.

He recently returned to Melbourne and was seen in public for the first time at the wedding of fellow gangster Jimmey Barkho.
