Businessman suspected in Sydney’s antisemitic attack scheme

abc.net.au

Police are investigating a businessman, Sayet Erhan Akca, who fled Australia and is a key suspect in a series of antisemitic attacks in Sydney. Authorities believe these attacks were part of a criminal scheme rather than ideologically motivated. Recent arrests include Sayed Moosawi, linked to arson attacks at Bondi Beach, and Nicholas Alexander, accused of coordinating multiple attacks in January. Investigators have charged over a dozen individuals in connection with these incidents. A caravan filled with explosives, discovered in January, was revealed to be part of a fake terrorism plot orchestrated by organized criminals. Police now believe the attacks aimed to instill fear for personal gain, rather than being driven by antisemitism.
