Mokbel fails to appear in court - National - theage.com.au

As pointed out in the comments from the previous post, Tony Mokbel was a no show in court this morning:
Fears are held for the safety of a Melbourne businessman accused of drug trafficking who did not appear in court today for his trial, a court was told.

Antonios "Tony" Mokbel is accused of being the key player in the importation of two kilograms of pure cocaine from Mexico to Melbourne in late 2000.


Then the intrigue really kicks in:

Justice Bill Gillard told the jury Mokbel's absence could be due to several factors, including his safety.

"His absence today may be due to a number of reasons and one has been raised and that is a question of his safety," Justice Gillard said.

He told the jury Mokbel was last seen by police at 5pm (AEDT) yesterday at the South Melbourne police station where he reported to police under conditions of his bail.

His partner walked with him to the police station, left him and then went home. She had not seen him since, the court was told.

Questions:

  • Has Tone joined those who are no longer with us?
  • Has he done a runner?
  • Just couldn't be bothered today?
  • Dole form was due?
  • Then there's the question of the "partner walked with him to the station". If it's still Zarah Garde-Wilson we'll spew up a collective lung.

BETS PLEASE, BEATS PLEASE!

    Shes not that bad, but from the word in the grapevine many
    are saying hes done the runner which i think is pure shit as
    he wasnt facing a huge deal of time if found gulity, my guess
    is hes been put off, him fronting cash for hits and trying to
    make himself top of the heap........anyway there many who would have
    reasons to knock him, from the Morans groups, the Macos from Sunshine and
    of course Gattos boys whom some believe that Fat Cunt Tony was
    the cash behind Condellos hit.........

    This could be either the biggest hit to date or the biggest case of "get your fake glasses and moustache and head for the hills"

    There's no doubt he was involved in some heavy duty stuff so wouldn't be surprised to learn he's been put through a meat grinder

    Just can't see him doing a runner and leaving eveything behind

    Steve Rab and his brother Simon are in the mix with Carlton Crew and
    are becoming more of a force with the Williams clan almost spent,
    yet they hated Carl and could have picked Kebab Face Tony as being
    a hurdle for both themselves and the Carlton boys.......


    Hi Mate

    Are we talking about the same people here ? Robert, Steven and Simon Rabizefski from Yarraville ? if so what are they up to these days ? and where are they living ?
    the last time I heard, Robert was a Junkie and I would not be suprised if he is dead. I didn't think Simon was involved in crime at all. I knew there dad George the painter as I use to drink in the Railway Hotel many years ago and see your Simon come in now and they but he would be only about 26 now if we are talking about the same people ?

    It's hard to believe that Mokbel was getting around without some protection though. I saw him on Sydney Rd a while back and he was surrounded by his goons sitting at the front of the pizza joint on the corner of Sydney and Moreland.

    Mokbel wasnt allowed to stay in Lebanon, he was sent to Greece.
    Mokbels boss, Abraham Khoury is also Malkouns boss, Malkoun and comancheros are Khoury's personal attack dogs, he is the biggest, safest gangster in Oz and none knows who he is. He is surrounded by a team of special forces ex soldiers from the civil war; they are virtually untouchable and none will ever touch them in Australia. Khoury is also Gatto's boss. Gatto, Khoury and Paul Dale are all business partners in the game. They are all rats and killers.

    They are raising a war chest in Australia to take over areas of Lebanon and are backed by the Kremlin. Comanchero's and Russian Night Wolves are very very close allies.

    Khoury sits in the Mahogany room of Crown gambling tens of millions a day talking about who is getting knocked next int he Melbourne Underworld, his special forces soldiers who work with high level police make sure it happens. They have been trying to kill Toby Mitchell for years & set him up for 25-life by calling the Netherlands, thats what they do to anyone they need to fuck with. They also did the same job with Michael Ibrahim in Dubai. They are allied with Mossad in the Middle East too and have a very extensive gun running business with the Israeli's.
    They also tried to build a new casino in Geelong they need to launder so much cash. They own the majority of a casino in the Middle East too.

    The Special Operations Group of Vic Police do favors for them, rata-tat-tat. They can kill and set up anyone they want and they do.

    John Khoury and Mick Gatto tried to go to Beirut for 60min to negotiate a deal but a bullet was waiting for the so they didnt go. In the end, their involvement forced channel 9 to pay $500,000-$1mil to hezbollah to get their reporter out.

    They may be untouchable in Australia, they may own Victoria Police and all the jails, but abroad, there is a team of special forces waiting for them, ready at any time who are sick to death of their ego gangster bullshit. They are not welcome in the Middle East.
    In fact the King of Saudi Arabia even kidnapped the princes associated with them, extorted billions from the princes, and gave them a few torture sessions for the games they are playing.

    Those motherfuckers are in deeep, deep shit.
