Tony Mokbel: The Mr Big of the Melbourne Underworld
The Crime Archives Channel
72,703 views
He built a drug empire turning over nearly $200 million a year. He survived a gangland war that killed more than two dozen people. He fled Australia mid-trial, was hunted across two continents, and was arrested in a wig at an Athens café. Then, after nearly two decades behind bars, he walked free.
Tony Mokbel wasn't just Melbourne's biggest criminal — he was the market. While others were pulling triggers, Mokbel was running the money, managing the supply, and keeping enough distance that police spent years trying to pin him down. He was the mind behind The Company, one of the most profitable drug syndicates this country has ever seen.
This is the full story of how he built it, how he ran it, and how he outlasted almost everyone around him.

The natural sucessors would be the Williams crew but they were destroyed as well, so really who is left? Gatto and Mokbel and they're the old guard. It'd be interesting to see who has taken over Melbourne now...
