Kaz Hamad
Kaz Hamad is an alleged Australian crime boss believed to be orchestrating Melbourne's illegal tobacco trade from Iraq after his deportation in 2023. Following an eight-year prison sentence, he has become a key figure in an ongoing investigation into organized crime links to a firebombing attack on a synagogue, which authorities suspect may have connections to Iranian intelligence. Hamad is also implicated in multiple murders related to the tobacco wars and continues to be a target for Australian law enforcement agencies.
