The Mongols outlaw motorcycle gang is expected to boot several more members from the club at a meeting on Monday night at their Melbourne clubhouse.
Sources said new national president Nick “The Knife” Forbes had adopted a “ruthless” leadership style and will be looking to boot anyone aligned with former Mongol Toby Mitchell.
The gathering will be held at the OMCG’s Port Melbourne clubhouse and will be the first official meet since new leadership was announced on April 1.
The Herald Sun understands prominent bikies including Jason Addison and Charlie Jabbour are among those likely to be turfed.
Addison served as the national Bandidos president for two decades before defecting to the Mongols, following in Mitchell’s footsteps who was previously a senior member of the Bandidos before defecting in 2013.
Mitchell was responsible for a heavy recruitment drive while at the Mongols, bringing at least ten former Bandidos to the club in 2020.
However sources said the new regimen, led by national president Nick “The Knife” Forbes and sergeant-at-arms Phillip Main, will be looking to tidy up membership.
“Nick the Knife is ruthless,” one source said.
“He is cleaning out the Melbourne chapter.”
It comes as influential Melbourne members Mark Balsillie and Sam Abdulrahim were expelled from the gang last week.
The pair were ordered to fly from Melbourne to the Gold Coast to face gang bosses, where they were instructed to hand in their colours.
Some Melbourne-based gang members are also believed to have handed in their colours in defiance of the new leadership takeover.
Mitchell, Balsillie and Abdulrahim have been three of the gang’s most influential members in recent years.
Balsillie, a former Comanchero, was respected enough to be sent to Russia to patch over that country’s Comanchero members to the Mongols.
Abdulrahim, who fights under the name “The Punisher”, is well-connected in Middle Eastern organised crime circles in Melbourne’s northern suburbs.
Mitchell has left a series of cryptic posts on his Instagram account since leaving the gang.
On Sunday night he posted: “Just because no moves are being posted doesn’t mean no moves are being made…remember that.”
He also posted: “The best revenge is letting people see they ain’t stop shit.”
