It started with a single nightclub attack and escalated into what’s been dubbed Melbourne’s hospitality crime war.
More than 30 clubs, pubs and restaurants have now been targeted in drive-by shootings, break-ins and firebombings. And while dozens of arrests have now been made, the people behind the attacks remain a mystery.
One theory? That an international crime syndicate led by a man called “the Ghost” is ordering the hits from a bunker in Iraq.
Today, senior reporter at the Herald Sun, Seb Costello, on the escalating attacks threatening the lives and livelihoods of Melbourne venue owners.
