Chaouk family member in custody after alleged police chase

A MEMBER of the notorious Chaouk family is in custody following an alleged high-speed police chase in Melbourne's western suburbs.

He appeared at Melbourne Magistrates' Court twice last week, charged with 12 driving offences allegedly committed in Altona and Coburg in the past fortnight.

It is alleged the man failed to stop his vehicle in Altona when requested to do so by police, resulting in a high-speed pursuit that placed members of the public in danger.

He allegedly drove at speeds of up to 130km/h in Millers Rd, between Civic Pde and Noordeene Ave, where there is a 60km/h speed limit.

The list of charges includes conduct endangering life - which carries a maximum penalty of 10 years' imprisonment - conduct endangering persons, dangerous driving while being pursued by police and driving when directed to stop.

He also faces two counts each of dangerous driving, driving while disqualified, driving a vehicle bearing incorrect number plates and speeding.

The court heard the man's intellectual capacity, anxiety issues and possible drug addiction could be issues while he was held in custody.

He appeared for a filing hearing on Wednesday and on Friday for a bail application, which will continue tomorrow.

The Chaouk family is just one of many hundreds of 'crime families' in Victoria.

The authorities are fully aware of their criminal activities, but due to corruption in the police force, legal system, and the government, e.g ATO (Australian Tax Office), these families have been able to operate for decades.

Crime families are allowed to amass real estate fortunes in the magnitude of 40 properties from the proceeds of illegal activities, such as narcotics production and distribution, luxury car thefts, to name a couple.

Authorities support a certain amount of criminal activity, as this also keep the major populous at bay.

Corrupt police, judges, and other government officials accept bribes in the form of cash (via credit cards) from the proceeds of drug distribution from 'crime families'.
