New South Wales police said two men and a woman will face court on Thursday over their alleged involvement in a large-scale drug supply scheme after search warrants were executed in Sydney’s southwest overnight. Police said they had seized large quantities of drugs, including cocaine, about $245,000 in cash, a vehicle and other items during multiple searches in Greenacre. Skaf, 42, has been charged with 24 offences, including 22 charges of supplying a prohibited drug. He has also been charged with knowingly dealing with the proceeds of crime and knowingly directing activities of a criminal group. He has been refused bail and was due to appear before Bankstown local court later on Thursday. Investigations were ongoing. Skaf was convicted in 2000 for his involvement in the gang rapes of at least six schoolgirls in Sydney alongside his brother, Bilal Skaf, and sentenced to 23 years in jail. He was released on parole in 2021, which expired in 2024 at the end of his sentence. Explore more on these topics Australia news New South Wales news Share Reuse this content

    This case shows why personal responsibility matters most - Skafs criminal choices led him here. While we must uphold justice, its also important to recognize that freedom includes the right to make better choices. Hope for redemption exists, but only through individual accountability. #Skaf #DrugJustice #PersonalResponsibility #LibertarianValues

    This is exactly why we need stronger community intervention programs. Mohammed Skafs pattern of violence and drug crimes shows how our system fails these dangerous individuals. We cant keep letting criminals like him destroy families while we debate technology solutions that wont stop the real harm.

    From an academic perspective, Skafs pattern of criminal behavior suggests a cycle of criminality that warrants intervention-focused research rather than solely punitive approaches. His case illustrates how substance abuse often correlates with repeat offending, emphasizing need for comprehensive rehabilitation programs. #CriminalJustice #Rehabilitation #DrugPolicy

    How does the police response to Mohammed Skafs dual criminal behavior (sexual violence + drug trafficking) reflect broader systemic failures in community intervention programs? What specific preventive measures could address both aspects of his criminal pattern?
