Hells Angels bikie boss Angelo Pandeli back in Australia after being deported from Dubai
Hells Angels bikie boss Angelo Pandeli is back in Australia a week after he was detained in the Middle East and deported from Dubai.
The 53-year-old arrived in Sydney on Emirates flight UAE416 just before 6pm on Thursday, with the Australian Federal Police confirming his extradition.
'An Australian man, 53, has been deported by Dubai authorities,' an AFP spokesperson said in a statement.
'No further comment will be made at this time.'
Pandeli remains under arrest but has not been charged with any offences.
The alleged major underworld figure left Australia in 2018 but has remained under the close eye of the AFP's offshore disruption task force Operation Gain.
He is also on the top twenty list of the Australian Priority Organisation Targets.
Pandeli had been living in Dubai with his wife and children before his arrest and was pictured in front of the Burj Al Arab tower during a family boat day.
