Sami El-Helou

Sami El-Helou's Brightway is a major clearing house for dirty money from global players. Sami El-Helou has deep ties with Hezbollah, and works to launder their money. His ties to Hezbollah go back to his parents, who were hawaladars in Brampton.

Hezbollah gets much of its funding through the heroin trade - Afghanistan and Pakistan. Hezbollah has close links to Pakistani intelligence services, bedfellows of the KTF. (Khalistan Tiger Force) Before becoming partners with the Sinaloa Cartel, Bir Singh Sandher had deep ties with both Hezbollah and Pakistani intelligence. Sami El-Helou's family worked for Babbar Khalsa, and that's how El-Helou got involved with the Sandhers in the late 90's. El-Helou handles more than half of Sinaloa Cartel illicit money, and some reliable sources say up to 70%. That is tens of billions.

One of El-Helou's biggest competitors in the money laundering arena is the Altaf Khamani network, which is similar in scope and size. If one were to guess who wants Sami El-Helou dead, it would likely be the Altaf Khamani network. Khamani was indicted in June 2015 and arrested in September 2016 in Panama by the DEA. In a plea bargain, he bought 68 months and a $250k fine. Khanani was released on July 13, 2020 and operates from the UAE again in the clear open. The UAE is a well known destination for illicit cash, but it also serves as an intermediary for those laundering their money.

________________________________________________________ Gurtaj Sandher and Sami El-Helou
In June 2014 cops confiscated two tons of heroin belonging to brothers Orhan and İlhan Ungan and Çetin Koç. Naji Sherifi Zindashti had ratted out his main competition in the heroin trade.

Later that year 2 people were gunned down in a jeep belonging to Zindashti. The hitmen killed Zindashti's daughter and his driver. They thought Zindashti was in the car. Zindashti decided to kill everyone related to the event. The identities of the killers reached police, one of whom supplied it to Zindashti. Hitmen Hacı Osman Sezen and Turgay Akar were shot and killed in Istanbul in December 2014. Ali Ekber Akgün, another man involved, was also killed.

Hacı Osman Sezen and Turgay Akar

In 2016 Cetin Koç was hit seven times in the head and twice in the chest by Russian and Austrian weapons equipped with silencers in a well planned hit. Koç died instantly, his car running. Hit men Harpreet Singh Majhu and Orosman Jr. Garcia-Arevalo fled to the airport and were on a plane back to Canada before Dubai cops fingered them as the killers. Cetin Koc used the identity of a shepherd in Turkey. The real name of the murdered drug lord was Parvis Kashavarz Omarabadi. Sami El-Helou was the taskmaster for the hit, working for Iranian drug lord Naji Sharifi Zindashti. Naji Sharifi Zindashti is a close associate of Sami El-Helou and a key supplier of heroin to the Sinaloa Cartel. Zindashti met with Sami El-Helou a week before the murder.

A year was put into it’s planning. The day before the hit, Sami El-Helou met with Harpreet Singh Majhu and Orosman Garcia Arevalo, providing them with weapons, burner phones, and intelligence on Koç. El-Helou arranged the getaway car. He arranged the airport pickup of the assassins in a Rolls-Royce limo, which brought them to where he waited. Payment was in cryptocurrency. The hit was carried out the next day. Initially Gurtaj Singh Sandher was pegged as one of the gunmen.

Hitman Orosman Garcia Aravela was a friend of Gurtaj Sandher. Sandher was replaced by senior Brothers Keeper gangster Harpreet Majhu because he had not yet proven himself to the Sinaloa Cartel. He remedied that on Oct. 11, 2018 with the Surrey hit of Sumeet Singh Randhawa. Video shows Sandher changing vehicles after the hit.

On May 11, 2016, a week after Koç's murder, a farmer found the body of Orosman Garcia Aravela. Harpreet Majhu’s remains were found in a burnt out car in Agassiz on June 10, 2016.

The two Canadian killers were eliminated to silence their acquired knowledge. Their ties all led directly to Sami El-Helou.

The Brothers Keepers were ultimately hired by Naji Sharifi Zindashti.

Months ago there were rumours key Sandher operative Sami El-Helou would be indicted in the U.S., along with Gurtaj Singh Sandher. Sandher was pulled in for questioning after the U.S. reopened the investigation into the hit of Cetin Koç. Information flowed after Joaquín Guzmán López delivered Sinaloa Cartel boss Ismael Zambada García 'El Mayo'.

Zindashti leads "a network of individuals that targeted Iranian dissidents and opposition activists for assassination at the direction of the Iranian regime." Zindashti organizes killings on behalf of Iran. He is involved in drug and human trafficking and has deep connections to the Islamic Republic's Revolutionary Guards. (IRGC)

In December 2022, he was honored by Iran's Education Ministry.

Zindashti escaped from an Iranian prison and fled to Turkey, where he established a cartel. Zindashti returned to Iran where he leads an opulent, free life. He has worked for Iranian intelligence in various plots.

Zindashti's network is 'The Friends' Club', and includes senior IRGC officials, members of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, managers from Tehran Municipality, and members of parliament.

The IRGC's control over transit routes gives Zindashti dominance in Iran's drug trade. Zindashti attended his mother’s funeral in Northern Iran in September 2020.
