Lone Wolf bikie Yusuf Nazlioglu – recently acquitted of murdering bikie boss Mick Hawi – was shot multiple times in the car park of his apartment building Sydney’s inner west in June 2022 and died in hospital.
Mohammed Baltagi, 26, Mohammed Hosni Khaled, 27, and Abdulrahman Atteya, 31, were each charged with murder through a joint criminal agreement.
Prosecutors accused Atteya or another man Rabieh Baltagi, who fled Australia in July 2022, of pulling the trigger.
Khaled and Mohammed Baltagi were accused of planning the attack.
Today, Atteya was found guilty of murder after lengthy deliberations by a jury.
His family, who filled the NSW Supreme Court’s public gallery, let out gasps, cries and prayers as the verdict was handed down.
Atteya did not react initially but hugged his mother and other supporters before being escorted away by sheriffs.
Earlier this month, Khaled was found guilty over the shooting while Baltagi was acquitted.
During the trial, Nazlioglu’s widow Jade Jeske, formerly Jade Heffer, described seeing her husband shot in the car park.
She said she saw someone covering his head running with a pistol towards her husband as he stood next to their car.
Jeske ducked under the dash to hide as she heard eight successive gunshots and then a further two, the jury heard.
The jury heard her husband’s killing may have been motivated by the theft of two rented luxury vehicles from a business in Lansdale, in western Sydney.
The court was told the three accused murderers had connections at the rental business.
Nazlioglu had himself faced a lengthy murder trial in 2020 after Comanchero boss Mick Hawi was gunned down at Fitness First in Rockdale in 2018.
He was accused of being the balaclava-clad gunman but he and Jamal Eljaidi – said to be his getaway driver – were both acquitted by a jury.
The Crown alleged Nazlioglu was motivated to kill Hawi after the former close friends fell out when the relationship soured during a fishing trip to the Central Coast in the summer of 2016/17.
