“Have you worried that it’s just a matter of time?”

This question was asked to detective Dean Thomas on Tuesday, when he informed the media about Suleiman’s shooting “Sam” Abdulrahim.

In response, inspector Thomas awarded violent incidents that have darkened the recent years of the gang.

“I think that common sense dominates here, maybe it is so,” he said.

Tuesday’s shooting interrupted the long -term period of violence on the streets in Melbourne, in which houses subjected to shootings and companies bombarded.

And this is a shooting victim, a professional boxer and a former Mongol motorcycle, which served as one of its central characters.

Over a decade of controversy and crime

The main player himself in the underground world of Melbourne, Sam Abdulrahim had criminal convictions that were created in 2009.

A few months later, the 23-year-old was Fronted again, this time after he was arrested for his role in a deadly car accident in Reservoir.

Abdulrahim stuck his Ferrari into four other cars on High Street, killing 88-year-old Muriel Hlett.

He pleaded guilty allegations of driving causing death along with two allegations of having a subsidiary.

In 2018, the judge sentenced Abdulrahim to three years and three months behind bars for his role in a deadly disaster, with a period of two years.

However, Abdulrahim had already served a year and five months behind bars, and until March 2019 he was released on conditional dismissal.

Released, retreated again, re -granted

Before Abdulrahim was released from prison on March 5, 2019, he became the main goal.

On March 10, the attackers carried out real estate at Barrow Street in Braunschwik, the same Street Abdulrahim was dismissed with conditional.

Two months later, on May 23, Abdulrahim’s sister was attacked when she drove a vehicle that her brother used.

Court documents say that two men followed Natala’s vehicle before they attracted her and pointed to the gun.

Two weeks later, on June 7, the house in Campbellfield was sprayed with balls. The victims were described by the Parole Council as a cousin of Abdulrahima.

Abdulrahim said that both shootings were completely unrelated to him and that he had no fear of their own safety.

But the adult management board of the conditional exemption canceled the conditional exemption of Abdulrahima, believing that it is a real target of attacks and a risk for a wider community.

“The management board came to the conclusion that there is enough information connecting you as a probable goal of the last shootings, including 10/3/2019 and 7/6/2019, to require the cancellation of conditional exemption, taking into account the most important consideration of the security and safety of the management board. Community protection – said the management in a statement.

Abdularahim was arrested and spent the next 72 days in detention, of which almost half were spent in isolation, due to the suspicion of the Department of Justice and the security of the community that he is threatened.

During this period, Abdulrahim was attacked in a prison with a rock at the back of his head.

But despite the justification of the management that “the benefit of the criminal community on conditional dismissal (was prevailed by risk,” Abdulrahim appealed against the decision.

“It’s funny that these shootings happened, but I got a bracelet on my leg … I wasn’t near the shootings, so they closed me for no reason,” said Abdulrahim later on Podcast 2022.

He remained in custody until August 23, when the judge stated that “the council of conditional exemption acted beyond his rights in appealing the conditional dismissal of the plaintiff” and released Abdulrahim immediately back to the community.

Violence continues outside

The boxer eventually began a lawsuit against the adult council for conditional exemptions in 2023, claiming that he was “wrongly and unlawfully imprisoned, and entitled to compensation … for depriving his freedom and psychiatric damage.”

The lawsuit was dismissed by a judge who recommended the prosecutor general payment of the former (voluntary) Abdulrahim for an additional 72 days spent behind bars.

Abdulrahim graduated from the rest of the conditional exemption without further incidents in May 2020, but the respite from violence would not last long.

In June 2022, when Abdulrahim drove away from a funeral in a favorite, bandits with bullets.

The sources informed ABC of $ 1 million per Abdulrahim’s head by rivals from the underground, and the police said that Abdulrahim is aware of the danger he was in.

But inspector Thomas said that Abdulrahim did not undertake the police assistance offers.

“We must be aware that we believe that he realizes that his life was threatened and could be threatened,” he said.

“He received options.”

It was an attitude that Abdulrahim seemed to wear in recent years.

Asked by the former footballer Sam Newman on Podcast 2022 about his fears about his own safety after shooting, Abdulrahi said he remained incompatible.

“Walk around the dead part? No, not quite, “he said.

“When my time is over, I think my time is over.”
