Mohammad ''Mick'' Hijazi, who recently completed parole after being convicted and jailed after a Police Integrity Commission inquiry into corrupt police robbing drug dealers, is commander of the South chapter.
Mr Hijazi is now one of Australia's highest-ranking Comanchero club members and touted as a potential national president, with two past presidents in jail and another having fled the country.
Mr Hijazi confirmed a Comanchero clubhouse had been set up in the southern Sydney suburb of Turella for the 40 South chapter members. ''We're expanding, don't believe what the cops tell you,'' he said. ''Everyone wants to be a 'Como'.''
But it is not just in Sydney that the Australia-wide, 130-strong Comanchero outlaw motorcycle gang is growing. Residents in Tea Gardens on the mid-north coast are trying to block a Comanchero clubhouse opening in an industrial estate there.
