As snow falls in the fading evening light in Istanbul, a man dressed in black appears in a hotel doorway. Shaky video footage records him standing like an apparition in a snow globe.
Australia’s most wanted organised crime boss then does what he has done so many times before in his decade on the run. Hakan “the Facebook gangster” Ayik turns and walks away.
The video, posted in February last year on the Instagram account of Istanbul’s Kings Cross hotel, is brief and blurry. Yet it offered an important clue about Ayik’s movements many years after his suspected role in a massive 2010 drug shipment put him on Interpol’s most wanted list.

An alleged international drug boss suspected of laundering millions of dollars through gaming giant Crown Resorts has been arrested in Thailand, where he is fighting efforts to be extradited to Australia.
The arrest of Chung Chak “John” Lee in late December is part of ongoing efforts by Australian authorities to weaken a transnational organised crime syndicate known as The Company which Asia Pacific policing officials and the United Nations estimated was at times responsible for up to 70 per cent of the methamphetamine entering this country.
Alleged Triad boss Chung Chak Lee
Mr Lee, who operated out of Hong Kong and Bangkok, allegedly directed a high-roller gambling tour business that had partnered with Crown to use the gaming company’s Melbourne casino to launder millions in drug funds out of Australia in 2012.
