Notorious gangster Talal Alameddine allegedly stabbed in Goulburn Supermax brawl by ISIS-inspired murderer

Shocking footage has revealed the moment notorious Sydney gangster Talal Alameddine was allegedly stabbed during a violent clash inside one of the country’s toughest prisons.

The vision, filmed in Goulburn Supermax’s high-risk management unit in January 2022, shows Alameddine, a senior figure in the crime clan that bears his name, locked in a brutal fight with another inmate.

The 31-year-old is currently serving 17 years for supplying the firearm used to kill NSW police accountant Curtis Cheng in 2015.

His alleged attacker, known only as DM, is serving 27 years for the ISIS-inspired murder of a Queanbeyan service station worker in 2017.

According to footage later shown in court, the pair were seen circling each other in a small outdoor holding yard before throwing punches.

Moments later, Alameddine clutches his neck, apparently bleeding heavily. He briefly retreats, strips off his shirt to a white singlet, then lunges back into the fight.

While the stabbing itself wasn’t captured on camera, later footage shows Alameddine’s hands smeared with blood as he reaches for his neck. Officers quickly intervene and recovered two homemade shivs. Alameddine was taken to hospital with wounds to his neck and face but did not give a statement to police.

DM was later charged with wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm, but found not guilty after a NSW District Court trial earlier this year. His lawyers successfully argued he had acted in self-defence.

When questioned about the fight, Alameddine told the court he had no memory of it, saying heavy antidepressant and PTSD medication had left him in a fog.

“It was a bad period for me... I was zombied out... that medication, it zombies ya,” he told The Daily Telegraph.

Even when shown the footage in court, he said he still couldn’t recall what happened.

“Obviously I’ve seen it, but to say how it happened or what happened, it’s hard for me to say.”

He also denied remembering signing an association form that allowed both men to enter the same yard.

Prosecutors argued DM brought two shivs into the yard, but his legal team claimed Alameddine was responsible for at least one of them. The court also heard DM had boasted about the incident in calls to his family.

“I took the Alameddine out,” he said in one recording. “He’s a f***ing dog and I took him out the c***,” The Daily Telegraph reported.

DM’s barrister pointed out that key moments of the altercation, including what sparked it, were not caught on CCTV.

“The most significant part of the evidence is going to be the CCTV, and ultimately we say it is unclear from that evidence what precipitated this fight... or indeed, who was the initial aggressor,” he said.

“And in those circumstances … my final submission will be, (we simply) won’t know what caused the fight to start or who started.”

The judge agreed, ruling the Crown had not proven its case beyond a reasonable doubt and dismissing the charges against DM.
