Shocking footage shows Aussie gangster shot in car outside his home

Footage has been released by a Greek media outlet showing Australian gangster John Macris shot in the street outside his home.

The video shows a gunman walk up to his vehicle and unload a number of times. At least four to six shots are believed to have hit Mr Macris in the chest and abdomen.

The 46-year-old was reportedly ambushed and shot multiple times while getting out of his car on the winding cliff-side road to his home.

Inside the home at the time was Mr Macris’s father who was looking after his children. His father was the first to see him after he was attacked.

Mr Macris was named by Greek and Australian media as the victim of a fatal shooting in Voula, a suburb of Athens, last week.

Greek media described him as a wealthy man, known to police in both Greece and Australia, with the nickname the “Australo”.

Members of the Ibrahim family were in 2012 cleared of conspiring to kill Mr Macris, who was believed by some to be linked to the shooting of Fadi Ibrahim.

Mr Macris was previously a business partner of former Kings Cross nightclub owner John Ibrahim but the pair had a falling out in 2007.

There is yet to be an arrest over the shooting and the gunmen are still on the run.
