A Comanchero bikie boss who was being monitored by Australian police and broke lockdown regulations while positive with Covid has been granted a travel exemption despite thousands of other residents being refused for compassionate reasons.
Tarek Zahed, sergeant-at-arms for the Comancheros, left Sydney airport on Qatar Airways flight QR909 at 10.22pm with his wife and child after successfully laying bare his case for leaving Australia: He fears for his life.
The 38-year-old flew to Doha first on Thursday with stops in Oman and Turkey expected to follow.
The bikie boss has attempted to leave Australia twice in the past six months with sources believing he will now reunite with his infamous Comanchero mate and drug boss Mark Buddle while abroad, The Daily Telegraph reported.
Buddle is based in Dubai and is believed to play a major role in international drug importation into Australia.
Police sources claim Zahed's new residency overseas will hamper their ability to control his involvement with Comancheros' operations Down Under.
