Live-Stream Murders: Sydney's New Underworld Order

A new era of organized crime has dawned in Sydney, marked by the rise of the G7 gang and their alleged use of 'kill cars' for contract killings. These stolen vehicles, fitted with cloned plates and murder tools, facilitate crimes for various syndicates. The group's alleged involvement in coordinating murders signifies a tactical shift where organized crime groups subcontract violence, making police intelligence gathering more difficult.

Criminologists explain this subcontracting model provides a layer of separation between the primary organizers and the actual perpetrators. Contract criminals, like the alleged G7 members, operate as a business decision with no loyalty to the clients, potentially increasing risks to the public due to sloppy surveillance. Incidents, such as an alleged attempt on a daycare center in Revesby on October 7, highlight the extreme brazenness, with suspects found with weapons, fuel, and GoPros for live-streaming.
