Finally, Tony Mokbel is back in Victoria, after spending at least the last 2 years as a fugitive somewhere around the world, enjoying his freedom. That was happening while his sister-in-law went to jail because she was unable to pay the $1 million surety for Mokbel’s broken bail conditions. Now that he is spending his days and nights in Barwon Prison, murder charges may finally be underway for the murders of the Morans’ families.

This particular saga has been at least 2 years in the making, when he made his escape from Melbourne, followed by the escape/disappearance of his girlfriend until their reappearance in Greece. What were they doing during that time? Where did they go? What did they do?

The underbelly saga continues …
p.s. Does that mean Victorians might finally be able to watch the Underbelly series in the near future?

I’m possibly the only Victorian who couldn’t give a rat’s ass about Underbelly. I care about it so much, I haven’t even seen it. At my housewarming party several weeks ago, the blokes were sitting around the barbie talking about which mafia leader eating what pasta dish at that Lygon Street joint.

I guess that’s completely relevant ‘coz they grew up in Melbourne and Mr ABC of ABC Drug Cartel used to make headlines and they grew up watching and reading up on them on the media. Perhaps they left out how they spent $10 a week on dope from the local deli just round the corner from here.

The only gangland killers I know are the teenage wannabes from Merrylands High School who surrendered themselves to the coppers the moment they turned up. What idiots. They didn’t even get to damage some public property before they were arrested. Pfft.

But hey, looks like Underbelly will now be shown in other parts of the world. That might just spur me to watch it at your nearest pay-per-view channel in Asia when I visit my relos. Yup, ‘coz that’s so much easier than driving to my mate’s place in NSW for the same reason.

adrock2xander still hasn’t seen Underbelly.
