Iraqi Arrest Photos of Oz Crime Lord Raise AI Red Flags
11 Feb
Summary
- Crime boss Kazem Hamad arrested in Iraq for drug trafficking in January.
- Arrest photos of Hamad display inconsistencies, possibly due to AI alteration.
- Hamad's syndicate linked to fire-bombings and illegal tobacco trade in Australia.

Kazem Hamad, an Australian crime kingpin allegedly operating from the Middle East, was arrested in Iraq in January for drug trafficking. Images released by Iraqi authorities show Hamad in custody, but many have questioned their authenticity due to apparent digital alterations. These discrepancies include a distorted height chart that suggests an impossible stature and unusual features on his hands, raising concerns about artificial intelligence manipulation.
Hamad, who was deported from Australia in 2023, is also linked to numerous criminal activities in Australia. His syndicate is suspected of involvement in high-profile fire-bombings in Victoria and intimidation tactics related to the illegal tobacco market, including the 'Kaz Tax'.
