Bikie enforcer Tarek Zahed is ARRESTED over a 2014 murder

Comanchero bikie boss Tarek Zahed has been arrested for his alleged involvement in a 2014 gangland murder.

The national sergeant-at-arms Tarek Zahed, 41, was arrested on Sunday evening, with his arrest coming just three months after he was shot 10 times in a gangland hit.

Zahed was shot alongside his brother Omar at a gym in western Sydney in May and miraculously survived, though his brother died. 

His arrest comes a week after he was spotted in public for the first time since the shooting.

Comanchero national president Allan Meehan last Sunday posted a photo alongside the underworld figure and two other associates, all decked out in designer clothes and jewellery at a Melbourne restaurant. 

‘Welcome back Tarek “hard2kill” Zahed,’ Meehan captioned the photo shared on Instagram. 

Zahed in May miraculously survived an assassination attempt at Bodyfit Gym in Sydney’s Auburn when more than 20 bullets were fired inside the health club.

The ‘Balenciaga Bikie’ was rushed to hospital in critical condition and was taken into surgery with bullet wounds to his head and body, including one that pierced straight through his eyeball. His brother Omar, 39, was killed during the shooting.

Doctors were astonished by his rapid recovery that saw him released from hospital less than two months later following lengthy discussion about whether he would need limbs amputated. 

Despite being being shot ten times, there were no visible scars on the face of the bikie hard man in the photo. 

A source said he has completely lost sight in his right eye, rendering him virtually blind as he already had reduced vision in his left eye.    

‘He had an incident years ago that means vision in his left eye is only 20 to 30 per cent,’ the source said. 

‘So with him likely being blind in his right eye now, he will be almost completely unable to see.’

It is the first public glimpse of the Comanchero’s boss who miraculously survived the assassination attempt that rocked the city’s underworld.

Since leaving hospital in July, it’s believed Zahed has been laying low in Melbourne. 

Homicide Squad Commander Detective Superintendent Danny Doherty said at the time police were investigating possible motives for the assassination attempt, refusing to rule out an inside job.

‘We can’t discount an internal conflict,’ he told reporters.

‘There is opportunities for people to take their place and there’s a real power struggle within organised crime organisations.’
