·

Australia’s most-wanted criminal and Hells Angels bikie boss Angelo Pandeli is back in the country and under arrest, after being deported from Dubai in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

According to The Daily Telegraph, Pandeli landed in Sydney just before 6pm on Thursday, after being sent on his way by authorities in the UAE. He was put on Emirates flight UAE416.

In a statement, a spokesperson for the Australian Federal Police confirmed Pandeli was back.

“An Australian man, 53, has been deported by Dubai authorities,” the spokesperson said. “No further comment will be made at this time.”

This deportation comes after Pandeli was detained by UAE authorities a week ago.

Pandeli has been on the radar of Australian law enforcement for many years. The 52-year-old has been a major player in Australia’s cocaine and methamphetamine smuggling operations and is accused of being an international drug kingpin. Since leaving Australia in 2018, he has been moving between the Middle East, Europe and Asia.

It is understood while Pandeli has been arrested, he has not been charged with any offences since landing back in Australia.
