The former lover of Australia’s worst gang rapist, Mohammed Skaf, has appeared in court, with her new husband delivering a furious spray at waiting media outside the building.
Alexandra Mastropetros walked into Bankstown Local Court on Thursday, accompanied by her husband, where she is facing sentence for stalking and intimidating her former lover, and smuggling $100,000 worth of drugs into a prison.
Wearing a cream coloured top with black pants, the 32-year-old looked away from the camera as she walked into the building.
While she ignored the camera, Mastropetros’ husband, who she married in April this year, called awaiting media a “f**king dog”.
He then stuck up his middle finger to the camera before disappearing behind the doors of the court.
Skaf was the ringleader of a spate of notorious gang rapes in Sydney’s southwest in 2000, and was jailed alongside his brother Bilal and several others.
When he was freed after almost 22 years behind bars, Skaf and Mastropetros started dating.
According to court documents, the 32-year-old started her relationship with Skaf in January this year which lasted just a few months.
She has admitted to intimidating Skaf in Greenacre in May, calling him during a heated phone call to “highly suggest” he withdraw a statement.
“The accused and the victim were in an intimate relationship between January 20233 and March 2023,” court documents said.
“On May 16, the victim provided a statement to police in relation to being extorted for $20,000.”
Court documents revealed Mastropetros was “well known” to Skaf and was well aware of his family members and associates.
Following giving a statement to police, Skaf received a phone call from a private number with Mastropetros on the other end of the line.
He put the phone on loudspeaker and recorded the conversation.
“Why are you calling me to withdraw a statement, it’s got nothing to do with you,” Skaf said, according to the court documents.
But Mastropetros said she wasn’t telling him to withdraw it, just that she “highly suggests” he did.
“That’s snitching, you don’t go snitching,” she said.
“You’ve been in jail for 21 years. You should know the go.”
Mastropetros said to stop “barking you hayawem” (which means animal in Arabic”.
She then said he was the “biggest snitch” in Sydney.
“If you don’t go and withdraw this f***ing statement … I promise you by oath of allah and I’m going to go and f*** up your life,” she said.
The phone call ended with Mastropetros telling Skaf to go “f**k yourself”.
Court documents said Skaf feared for his life and believed Mastropetros was going to send someone to his house to cause serious harm to either him or his family.
She also admitted to an unrelated charge of supplying a prohibited drug after she was caught with 4.86g of methamphetamine, totalling to about $100,000 worth.
According to court documents, police found drug-filled balloons in her Louis Vuitton handbag when they stopped her rental car as she drove into Hunter Correctional Centre at Cessnock in January.
She was visiting her ex-fiancee at the time, and told police she had purchased 100 buprenorphine strips from a Punchbowl service station to help her calm down.
The strips she told police she paid $240 for were later identified to have a value of $1000 per strip, worth $100,000 in total inside prison.
Mastropetros told police she had visited the prison for three months.
“When police stated that she must be well versed in the procedures and restrictions for visiting then, the accused did not respond,” court documents said.
Mastropetros was due to be sentenced on Thursday but the court was told she had a new lawyer who needed to become familiar with the case.
The matter was adjourned and she will now be sentenced in January 2024.
