The seized items have a combined value over $500,000.

Bargshoon earlier found himself in media reports over a dispute between his wife Fatima Hage and his ex-girlfriend Rose over a Rolex.

Now texts reveal a feud over a $18,000 Rolex Ms Hage firmly denied the allegations on her husband's behalf to Daily Mail Australia, and claimed that she wore a different watch. The $12,500 two-toned diamond time-piece was the subject of a months-long feud between the two women. Before the relationship ended, Rose had her suspicions, and confronted Bargshoon, who denied he had the timepiece.

Daily Mail Australia is not suggesting Bargshoon stole the watch. Ms Hage's former lover Kemel Junior 'Blackie' Barakat was gunned down by masked men as she lay beside him in bed in a unit in Mortlake, in the city's south, about 2.30am on March 10, 2017.

Sydney hairdresser Fatima Hage, 30, is married to Bargshoon During the search, detectives located and seized a Lamborghini Huracan, a Harley Davidson V-Rod and two Rolex watches Following Bargshoon's arrest, his Lamborghini Huracan and Harley were taken away by authorities. Bargshoon earlier had another $400,000 Lamborghini Huracan he'd been renting torched on a street in Olympic Park, in western Sydney, in May last year. Police had been searching for two people who were seen carrying jerry cans moments before the blaze broke out but no charges have been laid.

Bargshoon has meanwhile been issued a Court Attendance Notice to appear before Parramatta Local Court on Friday 4 October 2024.
