A fugitive arrested in Melbourne’s luxury Park Hyatt Hotel had been wanted over a South Yarra gun drama.
Mustafa Tanc was detained by the Special Operations Group last week after an investigation into a firearms incident in Claremont St in December.
Tanc was tracked to the 5-star Park Hyatt, on Parliament Place, after an investigation by detectives from Stonnington CIU and members of the fugitive squad detectives.
The 39-year-old had been staying at the hotel despite being listed as having no fixed address.
A search of Tanc’s room allegedly uncovered what was described as a large quantity of ketamine, methylamphetamine, heroin and other substances yet to be analysed.
Police will allege they seized more than $50,000 in cash.
Tanc has been charged with extortion, making threats to kill, injure or endanger life, assault with a weapon and being a prohibited person in possession of a firearm.
He also faces counts of trafficking and possession methylamphetamine, possessing a drug of dependence, knowingly dealing in the proceeds of crime and failing to comply with a direction to assist.
He is due to face court again in April.
He says he’s a family man and hard worker. Police say he’s a bikie
Sione Hokafonu told a judge he had left the bikie world behind to throw himself into life as a hard working husband and father of five. Police will argue differently.
