Alleged Bondi Beach Gunman Charged with 19 More Offences over Mass Shooting
Prosecutors say the new counts stem from evidence review that includes 230,000 CCTV images and numerous devices linked to the suspects.
- On Wednesday, federal prosecutors filed 19 additional charges against Navid Akram, the 24-year-old accused of the December 14, 2025, Bondi Beach massacre, bringing his total charges to 78.
- During the December 14 Hanukkah celebration on Bondi Beach, Akram and his father, Sajid Akram, 50, opened fire on the crowd, killing 15 people including a 10-year-old girl.
- Prosecutors confirmed the new charges include 10 counts of "shoot at with intent to murder" and six counts of discharging a firearm to resist arrest, while investigators review approximately 230,000 CCTV images.
- Defense lawyer Leonie Gittani described the case as "unprecedented," explaining Akram cannot enter pleas until evidence is fully served; he remains held at Goulburn Supermax prison.
- Akram is scheduled to return to court on August 12, while the Royal Commission on Antisemitism and Social Cohesion continues examining security failures, with findings due by the attack's first anniversary.
