Brother of Bourke St accused fronts court

The younger brother of accused Bourke St killer Dimitrious Gargasoulas has made an unexpected appearance at a Melbourne court, charged with eight new offences.

Angelo Gargasoulas, 26, has been charged with possessing a controlled weapon, possessing the drug ice, assault with a knife, unlawful assault, trespass and trespass with intent to assault.

He was also charged with damaging a mobile phone and a glass door worth $600 combined.

The new charges were laid after he was already jailed in March this year for a series of assaults on loved ones, and robbing a taxi driver.

At the time, he was sentenced to two months' jail and given an 18-month community corrections order after pleading guilty to 13 offences between May 2015 and July 2016.

On Saturday afternoon in the Melbourne Magistrates Court, Angelo made no application for bail.

He was remanded in custody to reappear on July 19 for a filing hearing.

Six people died and 31 were hospitalised when his older brother Dimitrious allegedly mowed down pedestrians in the Melbourne CBD on January 20.
