Notorious car swindler Andrew Triantafyllos claims he has fallen victim to violent extortion attempts after his suburban home in Essendon was shot at twice within three days.
Police are currently reviewing hours of CCTV footage to track down two gunmen after they opened fire last week before returning for a repeated incident.
In the wake of these incidents, Triantafyllos placed his double-storey house on the market due to safety concerns, particularly after arson attacks earlier in the year.
Triantafyllos has a history of involvement with over a dozen luxury car hire businesses that have faced allegations of failing to return significant deposit payments.
In a recent interview with the Herald Sun, Triantafyllos asserted that he has distanced himself from any illicit activities and expressed concern for his safety following a series of recent shootings.
“I am not a criminal,” he stated firmly. “I am a victim of extortion.”
