He’s accused of murder and awaiting sentencing for several violent crimes, but former gangland boss Farhad Qaumi is more worried about the unflattering photos the media are running of him.

After checking out the media coverage of his current trial – over the alleged murder of debt collector Joe Antoun – Qaumi decided he didn’t like the heavily-bearded photo of himself doing the rounds, News Ltd reports.

Undeterred, Qaumi sent in his own happy snap for News Ltd to use instead.

The preferred photo shows the former Brothers 4 Life gang leader with his long beard gone, replaced with a short stubble. Looking like your average Joe, Qaumi is casually dressed in cargo pants and a baseball cap.

Qaumi was convicted earlier this month of solicit to murder, conspiracy to murder, manslaughter, commercial drug supply and directing a criminal group when he was the leader of the Blacktown chapter of Brothers 4 Life.

He is yet to be sentenced for the crimes.

Qaumi and his brother Mumtaz, 31, are both accused of murdering Mr Antoun who was gunned down at his Strathfield home in December 2013.
