Thursday 29 September 2022 01:29 AM Comanchero bikie Tarek Zahed's dead brother Omar was a police 'SNITCH' trends now
The brother of a top Comanchero bikie who was widely seen as collateral damage when he was shot dead outside a gym has been exposed as a police source.
Omar Zahed, 39, and his infamous brother Tarek, 41, were both shot in a hail of at least 20 bullets as they left the Bodyfit Gym in Auburn, western Sydney, on May 10.
Omar bled out at the scene and died - while his older brother miraculously survived several bullet wounds, including through his eye.
Omar has long been thought to have been accidentally caught up in the underworld hit, however, new details of his cooperation with detectives have now been revealed.
The NSW Supreme Court on Tuesday lifted a suppression order to a judgment where police described the 39-year-old as an 'increasingly reliable' source.
The document, which was on an appeal to Omar's sentences for drugs and firearms offences, said he had tipped off police to uncover guns and explosives.
