Yusuf Nazlioglu murder: CCTV footage of shooting revealed
A traumatised wife dropped to her haunches after watching helplessly as her husband was shot eight times in a Sydney carpark three years ago. Jade Jeske would later tell a jury that by the time she made it to the safety of an elevator, she knew Yusuf Nazlioglu was 'going to be dead'. CCTV footage played before the NSW Supreme Court captured the assassination of Nazlioglu, 40, as it unfolded and tracked getaway cars used in the June 27, 2022 hit job. Following a lengthy trial, two men were this month found guilty of the former Lone Wolf bikie's murder after a jury considered the painstaking prosecution case built on surveillance and security footage. Cameras tracked Nazlioglu, 40, driving a black Mercedes, which the court heard was central to his death, as it slowly descended multiple levels of the carpark in Walker St, Rhodes. He backed the luxury car into a parking spot beneath the apartment building he lived in with his wife, who was sitting in the front passenger seat. What they did not know was two men were lying in wait in a silver Volkswagen Golf parked a few aisles over, having entered the carpark just minutes earlier. A hooded gunman was captured running towards the Mercedes before raising his arm and opening fire, delivering the fatal shots that saw Nazlioglu die in hospital hours later. The shooter ran back to the getaway car, being driven by his accomplice, before it sped out of the complex. Ms Jeske used her phone to film a brief glimpse of the Volkswagen and then ran to the lifts so she could get to ground level and call police. She was captured in CCTV footage frantically pushing buttons and dropping toward the floor as the lift made its way up the five floors. 'I knew that he was going to be dead,' she told the court while giving evidence at trial. 'I didn't go and touch him or go over to him. I looked at him.' The court heard Nazlioglu's refusal to return the black Mercedes, and another white Merc he hired from a Sydney business in May 2022, provided 'some explanation and motive' for the shooting. Police charged three men with Nazlioglu's murder after tracking vehicles used in the hit travelling from Hinchinbrook on the day of the shooting. Abdulrahman Mohamed Atteya, who prosecutors argued was either the shooter or getaway driver, was found guilty on Monday. It followed a guilty verdict for co-accused Mohammed Hosni Khaled – who helped plan the hit man and driver's escape – on June 16. A third man, Mohammed Baltagi, was found not guilty by the jury and walked free from the dock on June 19. During the trial, the court heard Nazlioglu had only recently been released from prison after standing trial himself for the murder of Comanchero boss Mick Hawi in 2018. He was acquitted by a jury, and upon his release was looking at ways to make money, Crown prosector Eric Balodis said. Nazlioglu hired the two cars from a western Sydney business but 'did not return' them, and the court heard his wife began to receive messages from people trying to get them back. 'Please … contact us immediately before things are escalated (car reported stolen) or worse,' one message read. Footage played to the court showed a number of men wearing masks or hooded jumpers entering the underground carpark on May 23 and retrieving the black Mercedes. But three days later Nazlioglu stole the car back after his wife saw its owner streaming live on TikTok, showing the vehicle's location in the CBD. Ms Jeske drove the white Mercedes to Castlereagh St where her then-husband was seen to unlock the black E-class using the key he still had and driving away. Texts messages tendered to court appeared to show Nazlioglu and an associate discussing plans to sell the rented cars, and the fallout their theft had caused. In one message, the associate said both cars would be worth $140,000 'if you had paper work'. 'These two cars was dumb idea,' the associate wrote. Nazlioglu agreed: 'the worst idea lol especially when there is money owed'. In the messages, sent on the day he was shot, Nazlioglu revealed he had been 'very emotional' recently. 'Sometimes I don't want to be around no more,' he wrote. Both men said they looked like 'dirty c***s' among their associates, who Nazlioglu thought 'loved me and had a lot of respect for me' before what he called a 'straight rip'. The court heard Ms Jeske may have narrowly escaped being shot herself just a day before the assassination, in what would have been a case of mistaken identity. On June 26, 2022, she drove the black Mercedes into the carpark about 6.50pm and parked. Mr Balodis said, unbeknown to her, CCTV captured a 'hooded man' crouching and edging toward the car. '(She) knew nothing of what had happened,' he said. 'She simply got into the lift and went back into her apartment.' All three men who faced trial over Nazlioglu's death pleaded not guilty and denied any involvement in the shooting. After his acquittal, Mr Baltagi, 26, could be heard to thank God as the jury left the room. Following their guilty verdicts, Atteya, 32, and Khaled, 27, were remanded in custody to face sentence at a later date. The court was told a man police believe was with Atteya at the time of the murder had since fled overseas.

Obama's former DHS secretary sounds alarm on Iranian sleeper cells, calls it concern of 'highest magnitude'
Americans are being urged to remain vigilant following the U.S. bombing of nuclear sites in Iran over the weekend and a series of arrests involving Iranian nationals inside the United States. The former Homeland Security Secretary under President Barack Obama is warning that the threat of terror sleeper cells on American soil is a major concern for law enforcement. "The presence in this country of undocumented migrants or Iranian nationals who have links to Hezbollah, IRGC, is, in my judgment, a domestic law enforcement concern of the highest magnitude," said former DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson during an interview on "Fox & Friends," Wednesday. Tom Homan Warns Iranian 'Sleeper Cells' Could Be Hiding In Us As Result Of Biden's Border Crisis Following the strikes, the Department of Homeland Security released a memo warning of a "heightened threat environment across the United States" due to the involvement of the U.S. in the conflict between Israel and Iran. Iranian state television has also issued threats, stating that all American citizens or military personnel in the region became legitimate targets. Hospitals In Sanctuary Cities Could Be Most Vulnerable To Iran Terror Attacks, Warns Expert Read On The Fox News App Earlier this week, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) announced the arrests of over a dozen Iranian undocumented nationals living in the U.S. Some of those arrested were accused of violent crimes such as domestic assault, drug offenses, and weapons possession. One individual had also served as a sniper in the Iranian army as recently as four years ago. Johnson believes the threat may be larger than the recent arrests suggest and that more migrants may be seized in connection to Iran. "That's not necessarily all of them," he said. "My educated speculation is that law enforcement has been tracking these individuals for a while in this country to follow leads, to see who they are in contact with." Other officials have voiced similar concerns, with many linking the increased threat of sleeper cells to the Biden administration's more lenient border policies. Border czar Tom Homan told FOX Business that nearly 2,000 migrants slipped past law enforcement daily under the previous White House. Ex-ice Chief Warns Biden's Border Crisis Likely Fueled Iranian Sleeper Threat In Us Americans Vulnerable To Cyberattacks, Lone Wolf Threats In Wake Of Iranian Airstrikes: Former Fbi Agent "We don't know who they are, where they came from, why they're here, but they got away," said Homan on Tuesday, going on to call it the "biggest national security vulnerability" the country has seen. Besides Iranian attacks, Johnson noted that those with extremist ties could act independently in response to the growing tensions in the Middle East. "Sleepers don't necessarily follow the direction from their sponsors," he said. "Somebody who's here in the United States who has links to the IRGC, to Hezbollah, may decide to take matters into their own hands." The FBI has shifted some of its resources to boost cybersecurity and expand counterterrorism initiatives in response to the threat. Johnson emphasized that Americans should not panic and continue to live their lives as normal. Instead, he urged the public to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity to the authorities. "'If you see something, say something' is still a valid public safety tool," he said. "It does make a difference."Original article source: Obama's former DHS secretary sounds alarm on Iranian sleeper cells, calls it concern of 'highest magnitude'

How One Animal Divided Europe
The Atlantic Daily, a newsletter that guides you through the biggest stories of the day, helps you discover new ideas, and recommends the best in culture. Sign up for it here. In 2012, a young wolf named Slavc loped into the Lessini Mountains of Italy, completing a 1,200-mile route from Slovenia, where he was born. This was a dangerous place for a wolf to settle. The region had been proudly wolf free since about 1860; a stone commemorates the spot where the last one was killed. Slavc, who had been outfitted with a GPS collar by Slovenian biologists, soon encountered a female of his kind, a wanderer from the south. They became a pair—the first pack Lessinia had seen in more than a century—and the vanguard of a lupine renaissance. Within a decade, Italy would become home to 2,000 wolves in almost 20 packs. The resurgence of wolves is not strictly an Italian phenomenon. Whereas in the middle of the 20th century, wolves were nearly extinct in Europe, today, more than 20,000 roam the continent. Their howls are heard everywhere except in the countries they'd have to swim to: Malta, Cyprus, Iceland, Ireland, and the United Kingdom. 'Slavc's journey might have been extraordinary, but more astonishing still is how rapidly the wolf has repopulated these lands, as though it has never been away,' Adam Weymouth writes in his new book, Lone Wolf, which explores what a predator's return means to a people and a landscape that had forgotten it. Italy, Weymouth observes, 'was an empty stage waiting on its protagonist—hollows that could be dens, saplings that could be marking posts, deer that could be prey.' Weymouth is an uncommon brand of travel writer, weaving natural history with culture and politics. For his first book, Kings of the Yukon, he paddled 2,000 miles along the Yukon River in tandem with migrating king salmon, learning how this species, crucial for local livelihoods and prized commercially, shapes community identities in the Far North. In Lone Wolf, the author swaps runs of fish for a single predator. In 2022, Weymouth shouldered a rucksack to walk 1,000 miles along Slavc's GPS trail, following the hundreds of virtual breadcrumbs that marked the wolf's path from Slovenia to Italy. Weymouth slept in the same forests Slavc did, huffed across the same mountain passes, and traversed the same national borders. He spoke with Slovenian farmers, Austrian politicians, and Italian shepherds along the way to understand how the reemergence of wolves has troubled rural communities in the Southern Alps. [Read: The book that teaches us to live with our fears] But instead of showing how, as with salmon, a species can unite people, Weymouth's interactions document how one can divide them. Lone Wolf is much more than the story of Slavc: It is a vehicle for Weymouth to trace the fault lines splintering Europe and to examine how people respond when confronted by unwelcome change. Polarized politics, climate change, reduced demand for dairy products, and shifting demographics are affecting regions across Italy, especially rural ones. For the people of Lessinia, the return of the wolf seems to encompass multifarious anxieties, refracting, as Weymouth writes, 'the entirety of their frustration and their fear, like the sun through a magnifying glass.' From 2020 to 2021, wolves killed more than 400 farm animals. But carnivores are not the only disrupters in these areas. A drier climate means worsening conditions for grazing livestock; meanwhile, meager pay pushes younger generations down the slopes into cities such as Verona, waves of immigrants from places such as Bangladesh and North Africa are bringing new practices and norms to the countryside, and confusing European Union regulations are hobbling farmers throughout the continent. One rule, for instance, requires animals to be outdoors for at least half the year in order for a farm to qualify as organic and receive government subsidies. But if a wolf starts killing those animals, it's almost impossible to secure a permit to cull it. As Weymouth writes, in Austria, 'farmers are furious, villagers are terrified, and there is a general, all-pervasive sense throughout the country that all hell has broken loose.' The belief that government is an obstacle, not a solution, leads to hundreds of wolves being killed illegally each year, their carcasses displayed in public spaces beheaded, strung up, or skinned, as if in 'warning to other wolves or to those who support them.' Some populist politicians have promoted a narrative in which the hardworking farmer is a victim of out-of-touch urban elitists. Weymouth worries that this 'serves to dramatize the situation, creating further crises' for those whose livelihood depends on finding a way to coexist with the wolves. These predators once wreaked unequivocal havoc across Europe; from 1571 to 1920, they killed 5,400 people in France alone. Weymouth highlights specific wolves that perpetrated reigns of terror, such as the Beast of Gévaudan, an animal (or animals) that killed 113 people and wounded an additional 49 in southern France in the 1700s. Throughout the continent, farmers watched helplessly as wolves dwindled their flocks and sometimes even fed on their children. These types of stories breed an almost hereditary disdain: The wolf is, and can only ever be, an enemy. After hundreds of years of persistent persecution—one generation of farmers learning from the previous generation to poison, snare, and shoot wolves—the animals' near disappearance around the turn of the 20th century was celebrated throughout Europe as the end of a long, bloody, and hard-won war. Wolves did not simply stumble back into Europe in the 21st century. Their return was facilitated by the rise of environmentalism in the 1970s, and progressive laws aimed at restoring biodiversity. Improved habitat and reduced efforts to kill the animals allowed wolves to flourish. Biodiversity benefits humans as well: Extensive natural systems are more resilient to climate change, offer food security, and buffer us from the risk of zoonotic diseases such as coronaviruses. 'To have a good system you have to have every part of the system,' writes Weymouth, and this includes large carnivores. Although some might argue that the reemergence of wolves in Europe portends a return to the Bad Old Days, these creatures are also a sign that we are doing something right. [Read: The overlooked danger that's massacring wildlife] Does this drive toward biodiversity inevitably result in friction between predators and people? Well, yes, Dale Miquelle, a conservation biologist and an expert on carnivores of a different stripe (tigers), told me; the key is 'having effective conflict-mitigation systems in place to deal with human–large carnivore conflicts.' These might include honest communication between pro- and anti-predator groups, the investment of significant time and money to minimize clashes, and acknowledgment of the needs and concerns of everyone involved. Weymouth outlines multiple techniques to deter wolves from targeting livestock, including encouraging farmers to shepherd flocks as they graze, training dogs to wander pastures, and building fences to keep out wolves. Examples from places such as Kenya, Belize, and China demonstrate that these adaptations are highly effective at reducing carnivore attacks. However, as Weymouth reports, for many in the Lessinia mountains and similar farming regions, adopting such practices is seen as capitulation. Farmers who build fences might be viewed as traitors, siding with outsiders who have no understanding of country ways. But the wolf's return to Europe can be sustainable only if farmers and other inhabitants buy into the process. For that to happen, their voices need to be truly heard by politicians and conservationists. When a wolf attacked a child in Rome last year and was relocated instead of euthanized, some Italians saw this as proof that the government was prioritizing wolf lives over human ones. Conservation advocates will have to make concessions to build trust, and some wolves will have to be removed from the wild. Finally, as Weymouth notes, the cause of conservation is hurt when advocates paint an unrealistic picture of the wolf. 'Part of its rebrand in recent years has been the widely put-about assertion that a wolf, or a healthy wolf at least, would never kill a human,' he writes. Wolves are, in fact, opportunistic predators, and should never be considered harmless. Wolves do kill people, albeit rarely; in North America, they did so as recently as 2010, when a teacher was killed in southwestern Alaska. Understanding these animals requires getting to know them, perhaps by literally following in their tracks. With so much modern wildlife science done remotely via GPS collars and satellite imagery, it's refreshing to simply take in the landscapes and cultures of Southern Europe with Weymouth as our guide. He carefully picks at the Gordian knot linking wolves and rural communities, teases out nuances, and tells a complex story of a world in transition. 'There are dramatic changes happening all across the Alps. Migration, depopulation, melting glaciers, dying forests. I have seen how people are scared of their lives changing, how they want it all to stop, and how politicians of a certain stripe continue to stoke those fears while promising that everything can stay the same,' he writes. 'We are all plunging forward into an uncharted world, and the only fantasy is that we can stop it.' To observe and absorb the natural-human interface, as Weymouth does, is an art, one that would benefit those on both sides of the wolf divide. Article originally published at The Atlantic

Lone Wolf Technologies Earns Great Place to Work Certification, Reinforcing Commitment to Excellence in Real Estate Technology
Employee satisfaction is 25% above the industry average, strengthening the foundation for superior customer service and long-term partnership stability DALLAS, June 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Lone Wolf Technologies ("Lone Wolf"), the leader in residential real estate software, and the longest-standing technology company in the real estate industry, today announced it has earned Great Place to Work Certification, with 71% of employees affirming it's a great place to work compared to 57% of employees at a typical U.S.-based company. The certification, based on anonymous employee feedback measuring trust, respect, credibility, fairness, pride, and camaraderie, underscores the company culture that drives Lone Wolf's renowned customer service and product innovation across its Foundation platform, serving over 1.5 million real estate professionals. "Great workplace culture isn't just about employee satisfaction—it directly translates to better customer experiences," said Jimmy Kelly, chief executive officer at Lone Wolf Technologies. "When our team members are engaged and empowered, that energy flows through every customer interaction, every product enhancement, and every support call our real estate partners make." Culture as Competitive Advantage In an industry where technology vendors frequently change ownership, pivot strategies, or disappear entirely, Lone Wolf's strong workplace culture reinforces the stability that real estate professionals rely on for long-term partnerships. The certification validates the company's approach to attracting and retaining top talent in a competitive market. The Great Place to Work assessment evaluated Lone Wolf across five key dimensions: leadership credibility, respect for employees, workplace fairness, employee pride in the company, and sense of belonging. High scores across these areas indicate a stable, engaged workforce that directly benefits customer relationships. Talent Retention Drives Customer Success With employee turnover costs in technology rising, companies with strong workplace cultures demonstrate superior financial stability and operational consistency. Great Place to Work Certified companies show 51% higher retention rates than typical U.S. workplaces. For real estate professionals evaluating technology partners, vendor stability has become increasingly important. Companies with engaged, long-tenured employees are better positioned to provide consistent support, maintain product roadmaps, and honor long-term commitments. "Vendor stability is a big deal. We've used platforms that were great at first and then suddenly changed their pricing or support, or vanished altogether," said Ashley B. Harris. "Knowing Lone Wolf has been around for 36 years builds trust. In a world full of new, flashy tools, longevity matters. It tells me a company has adapted over time and is likely to keep evolving alongside us." Foundation Built on People The certification comes as Lone Wolf continues expanding Foundation, the real estate cloud, capabilities while maintaining the white-glove support standards that have defined the company for over three decades. The integrated suite includes transaction management, CRM, digital marketing, compliance tools, and back-office solutions designed to streamline real estate operations. Lone Wolf's hundreds of U.S.-based employees support real estate professionals across Canada, the U.S., and Latin America, with the company's culture of excellence evident in customer satisfaction scores and industry longevity. Industry Leadership Through People The Great Place to Work Certification adds to Lone Wolf's reputation as an industry leader that real estate professionals can count on for the long term. Recent partnerships, including the landmark five-year agreement with the First Multiple Listing Service, which serves 60,000 members, demonstrate the confidence the industry places in companies with strong operational foundations. Unlike venture-funded startups that may prioritize rapid scaling over sustainable culture, Lone Wolf's balanced approach to growth ensures both innovation and stability for its real estate partners.
