The final man to be charged over the fatal shooting of Alen Moradian in Bondi Junction last year will face court today.
About 8.30am on Tuesday 27 June 2023, emergency services were called to Spring Street in Bondi Junction, following reports a man had been shot while sitting in a stationary vehicle in an underground carpark.
The man – who died at the scene – was identified as 48-year-old Alen Moradian.
A short time later, police located a burnt-out Porsche nearby in Bondi Junction and a burnt-out Holden Cruze in Zetland.
Three crime scenes were subsequently established and forensically examined by specialist police.
Officers from Eastern Suburbs Police Area Command – with assistance from State Crime Command’s Homicide Squad – commenced inquiries before the matter was taken carriage of by Task Force Magnus under Strike Force Parachuter.
Task Force Magnus was established in July 2023 – with assistance from the NSW Crime Commission (NSWCC) and the Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission (ACIC) – as a policing strategy to target and disrupt gun-related and violent crime, and to investigate links between organised criminal activity in Sydney.
Seven men have been previously charged and remain before the courts.
Yesterday (Tuesday 12 March 2023), strike force detectives travelled to a correctional centre in Clarence, where they arrested and charged a 27-year-old man with murder.
The man was remanded in custody to appear in Waverley Local Court today (Wednesday 13 March 2024).
Police will allege in court the man was directly involved in the preparation and planning of Alen Moradian’s murder.
