Damiano Dipopolo out bad - Brandon Vito Hughes

Ex-Kelowna Hells Angel president Damiano Dipopolo and VP Lester Jones were kicked out of the HAMC in bad standing for pilfering club funds. Out in bad standing is a term for banishment when a member is expelled from an OMG. The HAMC blew some $3.1m attempting to save its clubhouses in B.C. A significant cut was removed by the pair and that's the reason they were kicked out in bad standing. They are thieves against their brothers. Violating a core principal means both men may be attacked on sight by other HAMC. It is a fundamental betrayal of biker code of conduct. All members in British Columbia voted in favour as the vote must be unanimous. If an HAMC is a police rat he will virtually certainly be killed. In some cases a member out in bad is to be attacked on sight. In all cases members must not and will not associate with a member out in bad. Out in bad standing is reserved for the following:

Rocco Dipopolo and Damiano Dipopolo.

That member violated universal MC protocol. That member went against the word of the club in his actions. That member was a Sex Offender. (Child molester) That member was working with/for/in assistance with Police. That member was a thief. That member committed violent acts on another Member or associate without cause. That member committed violent acts on a member of the public unjustly and severely. That member is a drug addict.

When criminal operations came crashing down, over and over, there was always one man walking away intact. Dipopolo sued blogger Dennis Watson for defamation using lawyer Suzan El-Khatib, who now works for the Vancouver Canucks. The out bad biker now has fomer top Calgary gang cop Sat Parhar making his threats for him.

Damiano Dipopolo used DeCotiis family money approaching $1m to expand the HAMC into Kelowna. Brandon Vito Hughes was a grandson of the patriarch of the Decotiis clan, and a key player in a bitter family feud. In February 2003, Paolo De Cotiis approached Brandon Hughes at a nightclub on Granville and threatened "to get" him and his family. Brandon Vito Hughes killers were waiting for him on July 23, 2009. After coming home from Vancouver's Celebration of Light fireworks, Hughes was gunned down outside his North Vancouver home. Giulo DeCotiis and Paolo DeCotiis were introduced to Rocco Dipopolo and Damiano Dipopolo through architect Oberto Oberti. The Dipopolos found their assassin through their connections with the Rizzuto Crime family - Luigi Salvatore Pasquale. Pasquale had an accomplice.

2 days after the murder of Hughes, Pasquale fled to Italy, where he lived in the vicinity of Palermo. In 2011, extradition proceedings were initiated to bring Pasquale to face trial in Canada for the murder of Brandon Vito Hughes.

Cops had strong fingerprint evidence against the killer. Pasquale was murdered in November 2011 outside a villa near Palermo.
