The shocking moment a man in Sydney’s west was kidnapped and assaulted by four men – including the victim’s brother-in-law – has been revealed in court, nearly two years on from the violent incident.

Footage of the kidnapping carried out on January 11, 2023, was played in Parramatta District Court on Thursday, the Parramatta Advertiser reports, where two members of the offending group appeared for sentencing.

Kodar Faytrouni, Safwan Hussein, Ali Hamad and Abud Elkerdi travelled from Melbourne to Guildford to capture Younis Younis in a plot initiated by Faytrouni because he believed the 25-year-old had only married his sister to secure an Australian visa.

The victim was also taken to another property on Constance St, Guildford.

Police put an end to the incident several hours later when they stopped the attackers’ car.

All four men have pleaded guilty to charges of taking or detaining a person in company.
