Shot underworld figure found lying in 'pool of blood'
Victim Fadi Haddara, 48, remains hospitalized with critical injuries after being shot in Altona North, Melbourne. The attack occurred around 7:45 PM on Sunday, discovered by a relative who spotted him near his BMW with gunshot wounds. Police are interviewing Haddara as the motive and shooter remain undisclosed. The Haddara family clan, linked to Melbourne's illicit tobacco trade, is suspected of involvement, having once been a rival to a syndicate led by Kazem Hamad.
Hamad, known as The Commission, has ties to high-profile firebombings and is currently serving a life sentence in Iraqi authorities. Authorities are wary of potential retaliation and are reviewing all relevant intelligence.
