A man has been jailed for his part in a plot that left another man dead, riddled with bullets on his own doorstep.
Vincent Bill Lambroglou pleaded guilty in April to being an accessory to murder, participating in a criminal group and dealing with the suspected proceeds of crime, after police found him with more than $560,000 cash.
He was jailed four years and six months with a non-parole period of three years in the NSW Supreme Court on Tuesday.
Lambroglou assisted two men who had just gunned down Rami Iskander, shooting the 23-year-old 14 times as he approached the front door of his Belmore home, during a spate of gang-related shootings across Sydney in 2022.
Lambroglou admitted fixing "clone" licence plates to a black Audi 4WD used in Iskander's shooting, and placing two other vehicles, a silver Toyota RAV4 and blue Hyundai i30, as getaway vehicles.
He maintains he was not aware at the time the vehicles were going to be used in a murder.
However, once Lambroglou was aware they were, he granted two men access to his mother's unit complex to stash the getaway car.
The Hyundai was later removed from the complex and destroyed to help cover their tracks.
Iskander died in the early hours of May 14, 2022. He was the nephew of Ahmad crime family boss, Mahmoud 'Brownie' Ahmad, who was shot dead weeks earlier.
"I don't know who the bloke was, I got no idea," Lambroglou was recorded telling his brother in September that year.
"I know sort of, but yeah, couldn't give a f***," Lambroglou told his brother.
If that implied Lambroglou was not immediately remorseful, he certainly is now, said the judge who sentenced him.
"It seems likely that his time in prison and being drug-free has given him time to reflect on his offending," Justice David Davies said.
Also recorded on surveillance devices were the sounds of conversations between Lambroglou and his wife while a money counter whirred in the background.
Lambroglou admitted possessing and counting large amounts of cash for the Comanchero outlaw motorcycle gang, of which his wife's cousin was a member.
The two men had not spoken in two decades, but reconnected amid Lambroglou's escalating cocaine use in 2022, he told a psychologist, denying any other association with the gang.
He said he was given the opportunity to repay drug and business debts by collecting and counting money, being paid in drugs to keep him dependent.
"His explanation did not and does not provide an answer to the question why he was being paid at all," Justice Davies said.
Lambroglou was assessed as being a low-risk of reoffending and will be eligible for release on parole in October 2025, three years after he first went into custody.
