The Commission's Tentacles: A Crackdown on Melbourne's Underworld The arrest of 19 year old Rivin Muthucumarana, allegedly linked to Melbourne gangland boss Kaz Hamad's crew known as The Commission, highlights the brazen nature of organized crime in Australia.
Police have been dismantling The Commission's extensive crime network since launching Operation Eclipse in April to investigate violent attacks on Melbourne's nightlife.
The operation has expanded to tackle The Commission's dominance over the multibillion dollar illicit tobacco market and large scale drug importations.
