Notorious Sydney gang rapist Mohammed Skaf charged with 24 drug and criminal offences
Mohammed Skaf, a convicted gang rapist released on parole in 2021, has been arrested and charged with 24 offences including drug supply, money laundering, and directing criminal activities following a police raid in Sydney's south-west. Police allegedly seized $245,000 in cash, cocaine, MDMA, and other items from multiple locations. Skaf was refused bail and will appear in court, with two others also arrested in connection with the alleged drug supply operation.
NSW Police arrested 42-year-old Mohammed Skaf in Greenacre on Wednesday night as part of an investigation into cocaine supply through Sydney's south-west suburbs. Skaf has been charged with 22 counts of supplying prohibited drugs, knowingly dealing with proceeds of crime, and directing activities of a criminal group. During searches of his home and a nearby park, police allegedly recovered approximately $245,000 in cash, 208 grams of cocaine, 10 grams of MDMA, several mobile phones, and a vehicle. Two other individuals—John Harvard (also known as Ahmed Warwar) and Winter Egitmeglu—were also arrested in connection with the alleged drug supply operation. All three were refused bail. Skaf was released from Long Bay prison in October 2021 after serving more than 20 years of a 23-year sentence for gang rapes committed in 2000, when he and at least 15 other men raped at least six schoolgirls.

G7 Summit in Evian Draws Massive Security Deployment Amid Protest Concerns
France and Switzerland are deploying unprecedented security forces—approximately 16,000 French personnel and 4,000 Swiss troops—for a G7 summit in Evian-les-Bains from June 15-17, with an authorized protest planned for June 14 in nearby Geneva. The security measures are driven by memories of violent 2003 anti-globalization protests that caused millions in damage, combined with current concerns about terrorism, cyber-attacks, and potential infiltration by radical groups. The tight restrictions on movement, border crossings, and protest routes reflect authorities' determination to prevent a repeat of past violence while activists argue the measures are excessive and infringe on democratic rights.
