Bikie given bail to attend his wedding

 

A Hells Angels bikie boss charged with extortion has been granted bail in a Sydney court, allowing him to attend his lavish wedding celebrations tomorrow.

 

Mostafa Jouayde, the leader of the Parramatta chapter of the Hells Angels, put down a $400,000 surety to convince the police prosecutor not to oppose bail.

 

Mr Jouayde's fiancee, Susie Arida, cried in Burwood Local Court as magistrate Timothy Keady granted bail, allowing Jouayde to attend the $32,000 celebration at Lidcombe which will include hip hop artists, magicians and a Lebanese band.

 

It was in stark contrast to her reaction earlier in the week when Mr Jouayde was denied bail after police charged him with extortion over an incident on Parramatta Road, Burwood, on Monday.

 

Mr Jouayde allegedly demanded a silver BMW M3, valued at $43,990, from racehorse owner Terry Mullens, the owner of a car dealership.

 

The magistrate even agreed today to alter Mr Jouayde's bail conditions so that he could stay out celebrating after his wedding, extending his curfew until 2am.

 

Speaking outside the court, Ms Arida said she "always had hope" that her fiance would make the wedding and that she would now travel to the jail to pick him up personally.

 

Mr Jouayde's barrister George Thomas joked outside the court that he could "not understand why a man would want to get out of jail so that he could get married when marriage is just like a life sentence".  !!!!!
