"Victim of a Gangland Execution: A High-Level Criminal Identity with a Significant Target"

 




Police have reported that a man was fatally shot in a violent execution incident that occurred in Sydney's eastern region this morning. The victim, identified as Alen Moradian, was allegedly a prominent figure involved in organized crime, with strong connections to the Comanchero bikie gang. The shooting took place at the underground car park of the Whitten Lane apartment complex on Spring Street in Bondi Junction at approximately 8:30 a.m.


According to a relative present at the scene, Moradian had supposedly abandoned his criminal lifestyle and was portrayed as a good person. It is understood that he had relocated from his family home and had been living in fear for the past year. The Bondi Junction apartment was believed to serve as his sanctuary.


The crime scene yielded crucial evidence, including a handgun and a mobile phone, which will be integral to the ongoing investigation. Detective Superintendent Danny Doherty referred to Moradian as a "high-level criminal identity" who had become a prominent target. Doherty described the murder as a meticulously planned and executed act, likely involving at least two individuals.


Moradian had previously served a minimum six-year sentence for his involvement in a cocaine smuggling conspiracy and was known to have affiliations with the Comanchero bikie gang. His wife had previously likened him to the fictional character "Tony Soprano" from the Australian drug trade.


Detective Superintendent Doherty confirmed that efforts were underway to locate and apprehend the two gunmen responsible for the gangland killing. He reassured the public that measures were being taken to prevent any potential acts of retaliation or escalation. Operation Talon has been initiated to identify the shooters, with a focus on gathering CCTV footage and witness testimonies.


The investigation has also uncovered a burnt-out Porsche on James Street, believed to be linked to the murder. Additionally, a burnt-out Holden Commodore discovered on Cook Lane in Zetland is being examined for potential involvement. As of now, three separate crime scenes have been identified. The apartment complex where Moradian lived is home to approximately 150 residents, and authorities are urging the public to avoid the area.


Woollahra Council has issued a statement advising motorists, pedestrians, and the general public to stay away from the affected area, as it remains closed to all traffic. A shop assistant on Spring Street, speaking anonymously to the Sydney Morning Herald, revealed that she was barred from entering her workplace by the police. She expressed her apprehension, uncertain whether the perpetrators were still at large.
