This is the story of T Zahad. There’s not a lot widely known of T’s childhood and up ining.
He was born in Victoria, Australia, in 1980 and has two brothers, Omar and Abdul, and a sister, Aahan.
What is clear is T was drawn to the gangster lifestyle. His introduction to Sydney’s law enforcement began at an early age.
In 1995, T was convicted of assault and resisting police. And later, in 2001, he was sentenced to 8 months’ periodic detention for setting his dog on someone during a road rage incident.
In 2004, T spent five years behind bars after stomping on a man’s skull over a drug feud.
T must have caught the attention of the underworld. It’s reported that, in 2009, Tck started hanging around with members of the common chiro motorcycle club.
In 2011, Tck was involved in a large-scale street brawl where multiple men were stabbed, and T’s associate was shot with a nail gun.
While driving away from the scene, Tck fired four bullets from the moving car, hitting a man in the ear and shoulder.
He was sentenced to 8 years in prison, with a non-parole period of 5 years.
Though, in 2012, T became a fully patched member of the commo motorcycle club. Just quickly, if you’re enjoying this video so far, please consider subscribing and liking this video.
It really helps me out and helps the channel grow. Becoming a fully patched member of an outlaw motorcycle club is a process whereby members must pass several stages.
The actual stages and membership process can, and often do, very widely from club to club.
Often, an individual must pass a vote of membership and swear some level of allegiance to the club.
Most clubs have a unique patch, which is worn on the rider’s vest, known as a cut.
The common chiro MC patch has a condor as a focus, with yellow and red coloring on the background.
The club motto is “Acca,” which stands for “Always common chiro, common Cho always.” After becoming a fully patched member, T began his rise to the top.
It’s believed he was heavily involved in Sydney’s underworld. In 2020, Tck became the national Sergeant at Arms for the common chiro MC.
It’s not surprising that trouble was always around the corner. In 2020, Tar was jailed for hiding thousands of dollars in criminal profits and dodging a victim’s compensation payout for 15 years.
However, his incarceration lasted just a matter of hours. The sergeant-at-arms was nabbed by Strikeforce Raptor detectiv, who raided his home and found a plethora of luxury goods, which they alleged came from the proceeds of crime.
Police also alleged T had made false statements to government authorities. He claimed he was a broke delivery driver earning $450 a fortnite in order to avoid paying back money owed as part of a court-ordered compensation to a victim after a shooting several years ago.
The full details of the allegations were laid bare in the Supreme Court, where T was applying for bail after spending 5 months behind bars.
The court heard that police believed that Tck was one of a handful of people who still had contact with common chiro boss in exile, Mark Budle, while he was in Dubai hiding, and that this could lead him to flee overseas if released.
Police accused T of laundering over $59,000 they alleged to be the proceeds of crime through the poker machines at the Three Swallows Hotel in Bankstown and leaving with a receipt for over $54,000 in February 2016.
In November 2018, police alleged over $113,000 in cash found in his possession was also the proceeds of crime.
However, T’s defense told the court the money came from T buying and selling cars.
During the same period, according to court documents, police alleged Tar moved over $900,000 into bank accounts under the names of two family members, who were not accused of any wrongdoing.
The police alleged these funds were also the proceeds of crime. Tar pleaded guilty to making false statements to government authorities.
He was sentenced to 1 year and 4 months in jail for dealing with proceeds of crime and making false statements.
However, court records state Tck was released on bail just hours after being jailed, pending an appeal against the conviction.
It seems T was just unable to stay out of trouble. On January 16th, 2021, T was caught on CCTV at a high-end restaurant inside Crown’s new Bar Guru Casino complex, slapping and hitting another man after a heated conversation.
Tck was attending a large birthday celebration in a private room at the restaurant and was seated about 10 m away from the man, who was with a separate group.
Tar was initially charged with a Fray, but this was then downgraded to the less serious charge of violence to cause fear.
He pleaded guilty and was convicted on February 10th and ordered to pay $1,000 fine.
“Grip of a fresh wave.” “The—our country will move to level five of the framework for living with COVID-19.”
“The new so-called super variant of COVID-19 has been detected in New Zealand.” “The coronavirus is the biggest threat this country has faced for decades, and this country is not alone.”
2021: the year COVID-19 shut down the world. In August 2021, the Australian Border Force approved a number of requests for travel for people seeking exemptions on compassionate grounds.
T was granted an exemption and left the country with his wife and child on a Qatar Airways flight bound for Doha.
However, police were skeptical of T’s reason for traveling overseas but ran out of legal avenues to stop him.
Police were concerned that T could be traveling overseas to reunite with known associate and infamous drug boss Mark Bule.
Police also thought T could be leaving the country due to concerns for his safety in Sydney.
Once arriving in Doha, the trio took a connecting flight to Turkey. While this was meant to be a simple stop before continuing to Lebanon, T was halted at the Turkish border.
Authorities were hoping he would be sent back to Doha and put on a flight to Australia, but it was reported he made it to Lebanon via a different route.
Australian police had a green notice issued through Interpol in relation to T, which carries a warning about someone believed to pose a criminal threat.
Upon his arrival to Lebanon on September 11th, 2021, he was denied entry to Beirut.
The Interpol Bureau in Canra alerted Lebanese and Turkish authorities about TK, seeking to prevent his entry into the countries.
The notice said he was widely known by Australian police for involvement in serious crime.
On September 16th, he applied for release to a Lebanese court, and his local lawyer conveyed his fears over returning him to Australia.
The lawyer also claimed Taric was planning to contact the United Nations about the matter and was seeking to obtain Lebanese nationality on the grounds of his origins.
However, despite his efforts, T was extradited back to Sydney. While he was away, New South Wales police applied for and were granted extensive powers to restrict T’s lifestyle with serious crime prevention orders.
Under the orders granted by the New South Wales Supreme Court in December 2021, the national sergeant-at-arms was banned from wearing any common chiro colors or owning any of its associated paraphernalia.
He can’t possess or wear anything associated with the bikey culture. Other orders include telling police the registration of the vehicle he’s driving, only having one mobile phone, and he’s not allowed to have more than $10,000 in his bank account.
Tck was also the boss of the Sydney chapter of the common chiro, though when he left for Lebanon, Alan Mean stepped up as the new Sydney boss.
After returning to Sydney, it was reported that police made T’s life unbearable, so he decided to head south and set up shop in Melbourne.
An underworld figure told the Daily Telegraph, “There is no way he’s coming back to Sydney.
The cops are all over him. There’s a feeling in Melbourne that Sydney has lost control.
The Anom operation got a lot of guys, particularly in Sydney.” While living in Melbourne, T was caught on television accidentally interrupting the Australian Open men’s final when he was called out by the umpire and told to move along quickly while trying to find his seat.
Despite relocating to Melbourne, T still frequently spent time in Sydney. On Friday, 29th of April, 2022, T was arrested by police in Sydney’s southwest and charged with two counts of contravening serious crime prevention orders after failing to notify police of changes to his living arrangement whil visiting Sydney.
During this time, Tck had been warned by friends a million dooll bounty had been put on him by rivals.
The tit-forat gangland war of Sydney’s southwest was about to explode. Despite being warned and advised to stop frequently going to the same gym and change his routine, Carrick failed to listen.
On the 10th of May, 2022, while at the Body Fit Gym in Orban, Sydney, with his brother Omar, more than 20 shots were fired into the foyer of the gym.
Tck was hit at least 10 times in the head and body, with one of the bullets going through his eye.
He was rushed to hospital, where he was placed in an induced coma. His brother Omar was treated for multiple gunshot wounds to his stomach, arms, and legs, though went into cardiac arrest and died at the scene.
Two burnt-out cars were found not long after, both believed to be linked to the shooting.
Police believed the shooters were amateurs. Not only did they not kill T, the cops got the weapon from the car, which was not set on fire properly.
Despite being caught in a hail of bullets, T eventually made a miraculous recovery. A doctor described T’s recovery as incredible: “To be shot in the head, the Chan of survival ass small, let alone direct shot through the eyeball, is exceptional.”
It’s understood the injury leaves him virtually blind, as he already suffered from reduced vision in his left eye following a previous incident.
After months of investigating the shooting, Homicide Squad detectives arrested a man by the name of Adam Ganam at Sydney Domestic Airport and charged him with concealing a serious indictable offense, though the man is not suspected of being the shooter.
There’s been a lot of speculation around the shooting and why T was the target, though nothing has been confirmed.
Several months after the shooting, Tck made his first public appearance. He was photographed at dinner with commment hero president Alan Mean and other associates, decked out in designer clothes and jewelry.
Alan Mean captioned the photo, “Welcome back, Tck ‘hard to kill’ Zahad.” Though Tck wasn’t back on the streets long before police nabbed him again.
On the 28th of August, 2022, only months after he was shot, Tck was arrested in Sydney’s eastern suburbs and charged over a 2014 gangland murder of Yousef Assum.
On the day of the arrest, officers used bean bag rounds to break the window of the car T was traveling in.
They then moved in to arrest him in an altercation that allegedly left him battered and bruised.
Tarck and his younger brother Abdul are both facing charges of murder over their alleged involvement in the underworld killing.
Despite several Baal applications, T’s baale was denied, and he remains in custody. Both men deny any involvement and have pleaded not guilty, with their joint trial set for February 2024.
The police have been taking major steps and making large-scale arrests in an attempt to bring down organized crime gangs in Sydney.
Will this make a difference, or will Sydney continue to see underworld violence sprawl out into the streets?
Let me know what you think.
