Here’s video of a big fish being hauled ashore. Mark Buddle has been the boss of a powerful outlaw motorcycle club and accused of high-level involvement in international organized crime. He was returned home on a covert deportation from Turkey. Let me tell you about it.

The Mob Reporter here with news on the forced return of 37-year-old outlaw biker boss Mark Buddle, who is back in Australia after six years of living in exile. He’s back but in chains, facing life in prison.
His arrest may be of great significance. He’s not accused of just being a local operator, or muscle or another cog in the machine. But of being a guiding mind. An influential player on the world stage. Buddle’s name became synonymous for many with the powerful Comanchero Motorcycle Club, which police recently declared “Australia’s largest organized crime network.” Although he left Australia to hop around the Middle East and the Mediterranean, he is said to have retained control of the Comanchero, as a sort of Godfather figure.
His jet-setting life in exile ended July 9, 2022, when he was arrested in Girne, in Northern Cyprus. Perhaps seen as too hot for the small territory to handle, he was quickly moved to Ankara, Turkey’s capital, where he was held until his cloak-and-dagger deportation to Australia where he was arrested after touchdown.
Police revealed that Buddle was the first success of a previously secret taskforce, called Operation Gain. Buddle was one of more than 20 taskforce targets. He also said Buddle was one of hundreds of accused criminals who was using the AN0M encrypted phone app — that’s the huge sting operation run by the FBI and Australian police that operated a supposedly secret phone service for criminals that police were able to monitor.
