NSW Police have announced a $250,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and extradition of Anthony Pele, a fugitive allegedly involved in Sydney's gangland violence. Pele, 25, is believed to be leading the Coconut Cartel, a Pacific Islander gang, and is wanted for multiple crimes including murder, conspiracy to murder, conspiracy to kidnap, and shooting with intent to murder. He fled Australia in 2023 after a mistaken identity shooting in Greenacre that resulted in the death of an innocent bystander, Ahmad Al-Azzam. Police believe Pele is currently in Vietnam, where Australia has a bilateral extradition treaty.
The Coconut Cartel, led by Pele, is engaged in a violent feud with the Alameddine crime family, leading to multiple shootings in Sydney. The reward aims to encourage anyone with information about Pele's whereabouts to come forward, with authorities emphasizing that they will not stop their pursuit until Pele is apprehended and brought to justice in NSW.
