ALAMEDDINE CRIME FAMILY: BETRAYED BY THEIR OWN SOLDIERS

#CoconutCartel #AustralianCrime #TrueCrime They were the enforcers. The muscle the Alameddine crime network used to hold Western Sydney. In early 2026, they walked out, took a new name, and turned on the family that built them. For more than a decade the Alameddines have been the dominant force in Sydney's underworld. New South Wales Police allege a criminal operation worth billions of dollars, run out of Merrylands, reaching from the streets of Western Sydney into the prison system and across several continents. They built alliances with the Comanchero Outlaw Motorcycle Club and the Western Sydney street gang KVT. Their war with the Hamzy family left their greatest rivals all but dismantled, and confirmed the Alameddines as the most powerful crime family in the country. They survived Task Force Erebus, thirty-one arrests in a single week, asset seizures, extraditions and the loss of senior figures to prison. Nothing dismantled them. Then their own soldiers turned. This is the full story. The 1990s wedding that started a twenty-five-year grudge. The Goulburn Supermax confrontation with Bassam Hamzy. Alleged boss Rafaat Alameddine running the network from Lebanon under an active arrest warrant. Drill rapper Ay Huncho's rise to national attention. The firebombing at Telopea. The shooting of former NRL player Matty Utai at Greenacre. And the assassination of Lorenzo "Renzo" Lamalu outside a restaurant in Ho Chi Minh City. And the question underneath all of it — if police know the names, the addresses and the structure, why is this still happening? 🔴 SUBSCRIBE for more from the Australian underworld 👍 LIKE the video to support the channel 💬 COMMENT — can a network like this ever actually be dismantled? 📤 SHARE with other true crime fans 🔔 TURN ON NOTIFICATIONS so you never miss a release #Alameddine #AlameddineCrimeFamily #CoconutCartel #AustralianGangland #AustralianUnderworld #SydneyUnderworld #OrganisedCrime #TrueCrime #TrueCrimeAustralia #AustralianCrime #Gangland #CrimeDocumentary #SydneyCrime #WesternSydney #HamzyFamily #AyHuncho #DrillRap #NSWPolice EDITORIAL DISCLAIMER: This video is produced for journalistic, documentary and educational purposes.
