Notorious gang rapist Mohammed Skaf might be back behind bars for only one night after his arrest over allegations of directing a large-scale cocaine supply syndicate.
The 43-year-old was released from prison in 2021 after serving 21 years behind bars for his role in a series of gang rapes on schoolgirls that horrified the nation.
He was arrested again before midnight on Wednesday at a home in Greenacre, in Sydney's southwest, after an investigation into drug dealing.
Skaf did not appear in Bankstown Local Court when his case was heard on Thursday, but his lawyer Mohamad Sakr indicated he would lodge an application for his client's release on Friday.
If the convicted rapist is unsuccessful in securing bail, he is likely to remain in custody at least until his case is next heard in early August.
