Convicted gang rapist Mohammed Skaf is arrested in Sydney’s south-west and charged over alleged drug supply offences, according to multiple reports. NSW Police say they arrest the 42-year-old in Greenacre overnight and lay charges relating to an alleged large-scale drug supply scheme. Several outlets report that Skaf faces around two dozen offences, with one source stating he has been charged with 24 offences.
Police also say search warrants are executed in Sydney’s south-west area as part of the investigation. The Guardian reports that two other people—a man and a woman—will face court after police allege their involvement in the same supply scheme. PerthNow adds that Skaf allegedly directed others during the operation, based on information described by police.
While outlets reference Skaf’s past convictions for gang rape, the current reporting focuses on the new NSW Police charges and the court process following the overnight arrests and searches. Court appearances are reported to be scheduled for the near term.
