Tragic Violence: The Alamuddin Crime Family and Its Impact on Sydney

Shootings in a warring criminal underworld is not a particularly new thing for cities such as Sydney.

This type of violence exploded almost two decades ago with the advent of the gang, Brothers For Life, whose method of choice claimed the lives of multiple gang members  and seriously injured innocent people in the crossfire.  

But the violence did slow down once major gang figures had either been killed or placed behind bars. 

That is until recently, when, as crime reporter Perry Duffin writes, once again, there’s been a spate of gangland hits killing innocent people or minor criminals by an “honourless” underworld.

For Perry Duffin's latest story, read 'Blood on the streets: gangland shooting sparks fears of tit-for-tat war'.
