Skaf gang rapist Mohamed Sanoussi has had his parole revoked, a day after it was granted, as it emerged his brothers had been charged over a vicious bashing.
Sanoussi, 29, had been granted parole on Thursday under strict conditions, including a ban on him associating with the Brothers For Life gang.
Parole had been opposed by police who claimed members of the gang had been meeting at Sanoussi's family home and that his two brothers were members.
Hours after the parole hearing, however, it emerged his brothers Ahmed Sanoussi, 30, and Mahmoud Sanoussi, 28, had been charged with bashing a cleaner at Revesby in Sydney's southwest.
His cousin Muhammad Sanoussi, 29, and another man, 31-year-old Ar'med Bre'aery, were also charged.

The men, who were all given bail except for Mahmoud Sanoussi, will face court again in September and October.
The State Parole Authority said on Friday it had revoked Sanoussi's bail as a result.
It said his post-release accommodation would be unsuitable because two of the men in question lived there.
The authority said it had received submissions from Corrective Services NSW (CSNSW) recommending the parole order be revoked.
"The authority agreed with the CSNSW submission that the previously approved accommodation was not suitable in light of the new information," the authority said in a statement.
NSW Attorney-General Greg Smith declined to comment, saying the matter was now before the courts.
A day earlier he had hinted that parole could be revoked, saying "new and relevant information" had not been before the authority when its decision was made.
Soon after parole was granted, Sanoussi's lawyer Ruth Layton had told reporters that her client was a "changed man".
Sanoussi has served 13 years of a 16-year sentence for the rapes of several girls in 2000, when he was 16.
The horrific attacks involving 14 men were led by brothers Bilal and Mohammed Skaf.
In one of the incidents, the gang raped a victim 25 times over a six-hour period.
Bilal Skaf is serving a 36-year prison term, while Mohammed Skaf is serving 23 years.
A public hearing to review the decision will be held on September 19.
