The father-of-two, a Lebanese immigrant, was murdered on February 15, 2018 while sitting in his car outside a gym in Sydney.
He was rose to infamy in 2009 after being jailed for a brawl at Sydney Airport, during which Anthony Zervas, a Hells Angels member, was killed.
The Comanchero gang was created in 1968 by Scottish immigrant William George 'Jock' Ross, who named it after the 1961 John Wayne film.
It has clashed with various other biker gangs, including the Bandidos, but its most notorious rivalry is with the Hells Angels.
-----
At the height of the Sydney bikie wars of 2009, the young and handsome Comanchero gang president Mahmoud “Mick” Hawi appeared to have it all.
The national leader of one of Australia’s most forbidding outlaw motorcycle groups, who was then 28 years old, had all the trappings of the successful bikie. Wealth, power, a beautiful wife, two children and a seeming ability to cheat death were in the palm of his hand.
He was well-groomed, with a taste for gold.
