Mohammad ‘Little Crazy’ Hamzy released from prison, sparking fears of gang warf in Sydney
It is feared Sydney’s underworld could erupt into even more bloodshed after a murderous mobster known as ‘Little Crazy’ was released back onto the streets after nearly eight years in prison, while rumors circulate that a $2 million bounty has been circulated. his head is up.
Mohammad ‘Little Crazy’ Hamzy, 37, of the infamous Hamzy clan and a former member of the Brothers 4 Life gang, was released from Macquarie Correctional Center in Wellington, 360 km west of Sydney, on Tuesday morning.
Hamzy, imprisoned since 2015 for the manslaughter of another mobster, emerges in a completely different world since he last enjoyed freedom: one in which five of his closest relatives were gunned down.
The brutal massacres have toppled the Hamzy clan’s dominance in the streets, leaving the Alameddine crime clan and the Comanchero bikini gang with prudent power in the city’s underworld.
As of August 2020, about a dozen fatal shootings have been linked to the feud.
There are concerns that ‘Little Crazy’ could retaliate for the alleged murders of his cousins Bilal Hamze, Mejid Hamze, Ghassan Amoun and distant relatives Toufik Hamze and his 18-year-old son Salim.

Hamzy earned his nickname for having a fierce temper and a penchant for violence.
An underworld source told the Daily telegram Hamzy’s gang members may feel “honour bound to avenge the deaths of Mejid, Bilal and Ghassan.”
“But he (Little Crazy) has made so many enemies over the years that everyone from the Comanchero and Hells Angels to the Alameddines want him dead.
“The big problem for him is that from the time he went to prison until now (when he got out), there aren’t that many soldiers in the Hamzy camp.”
Rumors are circulating that Little Crazy, also known as LC, has a $2 million bounty on his head.
His release comes with strict conditions, including wearing an electronic tag and a ban on making contact with biker or crime gangs.
He was paroled in February for his own protection and to stop the outbreak of a deadly gang war.
A State Parole Authority panel found he poses an ‘unacceptable risk’ to the community, while NSW police feared his release could spark a wave of gang violence.
Police have been plotting for months to prevent an outbreak of violence provoked by his release and NSW Police’s Raptor team, which targets biker gangs, will keep a close eye on him.
