Tuesday 28 June 2022 11:57 PM Yusuf Nazlioglu: Executed bikie had run-in with Comanchero's mum weeks before ... trends now
An executed bikie had a nasty clash with the mother of a Comanchero's boss weeks before he was gunned down in a hail of bullets in front of his wife.
Yusuf Nazlioglu was rushed to Sydney's Westmead Hospital at about 6.30 pm on Monday with about ten bullet wounds after the unidentified killer opened fire in the parking complex under his apartment in Rhodes, in the city's west.
Police later confirmed the 40-year-old died in hospital about 7.15am on Tuesday.
Now, underworld sources have revealed Nazlioglu had a run-in with the mother of Mick Hawi, who was shot dead outside Fitness First Gym at Rockdale in February 2018, at a cemetery.
Nazlioglu had once been accused of murdering Hawi, the former president of the Comancheros bikie gang, but was acquitted by an NSW Supreme Court jury two years ago.

Daily Mail Australia does not suggest that any of Hawi's relatives were involved in Nazlioglu's death.
'Juries get it wrong, he pulled the trigger (to kill Hawi), we all know that,' one underworld source told The Daily Telegraph.
'Hawi was a very popular figure in the Comos (Comanchero OMCG), especially after the way he gave himself up for the airport brawl.
'There’s a lot of guys out there that would still be loyal to him.'
Other sources claimed Nazlioglu had also recently stirred trouble with a member of a well-known Sydney crime family after stealing his Bentley.
They said vehicle was one of several luxury cars the former Lone Wolf bikie had stolen and then extorted.
One source said Sydney was a dangerous place at the moment and was 'only a matter of time' before Nazlioglu was killed.
Daily Mail Australia understands the gunman was waiting in a silver hatchback for Nazlioglu to get out of the car before he unleashed on the underworld figure.

His wife Jade, to whom he had only been married four months, frantically rang the police.
The shooter fled the scene, and the hatchback was later found burnt out in nearby Leeds St.
Detective Superintendent Martin Hayston said detectives believe the attack was 'targeted'.
'The person who approached the 40-year-old male and shot him clearly was there to do that, there is various lines of inquiry underway in relation to motive,' he said.
Nazlioglu's death marked the end of a six-week run without a fatal shooting in Sydney as the city grapples with a bloody underworld war, with at least 14 men gunned down over the past two years.
