B4L gang member to be sentenced

A member of notorious Sydney gang Brothers 4 Life is to be sentenced for possessing an unauthorised pistol.

Mohammed Hamzy, believed to be the group's de facto leader, is listed to appear on Friday in the city's Downing Centre District Court.

His cousin Bassam Hamzy founded the gang and was caught running a drug trafficking syndicate and ordering kidnappings from his prison cell in 2008.

Several other members have also been before the courts.
