Giuseppe Dom Barbaro: Aussie Antihero

3 AM August 13, 2004

The story of Giuseppe Dom Barbaro would make a great movie. Since last Saturday:

  • His baby daughter was kidnapped.
  • He was called a ‘Melbourne underground figure’ on national television.
  • It is announced that he is facing drug charges in Victoria.
  • In all the publicity his fiance figures out that he was already married.

And, to cap it all off:

  • The New South Wales police – who have had a warrant for his arrest since November 2002 – saw Giuseppe’s picture in the paper, and have applied for extradition.

This is, of course, not mentioning that his 19 year old son goes to trial on Monday, “facing 18 charges of supplying a prohibited drug”.
