Lebanese Fugitive Captured in Major Drug Syndicate Takedown | Adelaide News
Description
A fugitive on the run since 2013, George Dib—nicknamed “Junior”—has been captured in Lebanon after allegedly orchestrating a decade-long global drug syndicate that funneled cocaine into Australia at $225,000 per kilogram. Working with other Lebanese fugitives like Bilal Haouchar and Rafat Alameddine, Dib reportedly controlled the market through coded “AUS weekly updates,” stepping in as “The Commission” collapsed after its leader was killed in Bondi. The arrest, part of Operation Gain, marks a major international takedown fueled by AFP intelligence—and could lead to a lengthy sentence for Dib in the Middle East.
