A 31-year-old man was also arrested at a Moorebank property about 6am on Wednesday.
It is expected he will be charged with murder.
Moradian was jailed in 2011 for his role in the so-called “Golden Gun” drug ring, which imported at least 200kg of cocaine into Australia.
His crime was motivated by “personal profit and greed”, a judge claimed.
The proceeds were used to deck out his Pennant Hills mansion — which had been nicknamed the “Versace Palace”.
