Ambush in Altona: A New Era of Violence Erupts in Melbourne's Underworld The brazen ambush of Fadi Haddara, alleged patriarch of the Haddara crime family, outside his Altona North home has sent shockwaves through Melbourne's underworld.
Haddara was gunned down in a driveway and is fighting for life, a stark reminder of escalating violence and power struggles unfolding in the city's illicit tobacco trade.
Haddara's involvement in the illicit tobacco trade is well documented, having once held sway over this lucrative market before being squeezed out by Kazem "Kaz" Hamad.
