Iziah Utai
Iziah Utai is the son of former New Zealand rugby league player Matt Utai and has been linked to the Sydney organised crime network, the Alameddine crime family. He has a criminal record that includes convictions for armed robbery and firearms offenses, leading to an 18-month jail sentence in 2023. His property has been targeted in a series of violent incidents, including arson and shootings, as tensions rise between rival gangs, particularly with the Coconut Cartel. Despite his legal troubles, he has maintained a public presence, notably through a barbershop that he owned, which has since closed after being firebombed.
