The dirty duo of MLA Gavin Dew and former MP Tracy Gray is no more.
The list of paid off Sandher PoS is long. Local press like Ben 'Bendover' Bulmer and Bonnie Derry to Kelowna politicos like Mohini Singh and potentially mayor Tom Dyas. There is no question that B.C.Conservative MLA Gavin Dew is on the Sandher payroll. Ex-MP Tracy Gray was hugely tarnished by association. Husband Larry and her ties to B.C.Conservatives are extensive. Larry Gray was Gavin Dew’s campaign manager.
The Sandhers were Canada's largest fentanyl producers.
There's the 'tar baby syndrome'. Touch somebody dirty and it rubs off. Its possible Gray's ties to Dew is the reason she's gone as MP.
What did Tracy Gray ever 'do' about the $11m Sandher fentanyl bunker in her riding on Black Mountain? Nothing. In fact, she was all smiles at a tour of the 7.5 year polluting Sandher plant in early 2024. She got free apples from Bir Singh Sandher and Gurtaj Singh Sandher.
Maxine DeHart is a Kelowna councillor. Her LinkedIn reveals she has spent the past 30 years as Director of Sales and Marketing at the Ramada Hotel and Conference Centre in Kelowna. In 2023 it was sold for $32m to KTF heavyweight Gurjit Singh Jhajj and Durali Properties. 2850 Old Vernon Road is 20 acres and owned by Gurjit Singh Jhajj. Mortgage is held by Prospera Credit Union. It changed hands in 2020 for $2.2m. It is rented by an equestrian group. Cherry trees were planted, but died. Ground was then planted in strawberries, which were abandoned. It appears a holding property only. DeHart has correctly stepped away from any decisions involving Kelowna Springs.

On April 2, 2025 Denciti Development unveiled its evil plans for the Kelowna Springs property. Denciti rejected Kelowna's attempt to buy the golf course in late 2024. The acquistion of 3030 (and 3330 by Suhkdev Sandher) is adjacent to their newly carved out industrial park.
Denciti purchased the 480 Penno Road site in Feb 2023 for something north of $30m. Some ground is unsuitable for development due to aquifers which require expensive control. The newly acquired ground is free of that burden. The touted industrial park of 35 acres is a fraction of what the Denciti plan actually is.
The zoning change to industrial from recreational was spearheaded by disgraced Sikh, ex-mayor Colin Basran. There was severe public backlash after the rezone. Outraged Kelowna citizens turfed Basran and installed Dyas by a 3 to 1 margin. Basran's pet project zoning was reversed by council unanimously. Dyas and others like Mohini Singh will be burned in effigy if their colours change.

Shelf company 1447916 B.C. Ltd. changed its name to 3030 Old Vernon Road Holdings Dec 7, 2023 and the address is that of Denciti Development. Here. (gfawley@denciti.ca, vgusak@denciti.ca, dfawley@denciti.ca )
The Denciti redevelopment can still go ahead if council votes to approve it. Dencity purchased the adjacent 60.7 acres of 3030 Old Vernon Road, which is zoned A1 agricultural. Any attempts to develop that will include removal of the ground from the ALR. The Sandher plant (3231 Old Vernon Road) is directly across the street, and the 87 acre property beside 3030 (3330 Old Vernon Road) was purchased by Sukhdev Singh Sandher for $9.85m. This over asking price and on a BMO mortgage.

This conspiracy theory reeks to high heaven. Kelowna city council is corrupt and most know it is a puppet of the Sandher crime family i.e. Mohini Singh and mayor Tom Dyas. It very surely appears Sinaloa Cartel money is at work again. In July 2022 Dyas got himself elected with "Tom Dyas says he’ll fight to save Kelowna Springs if elected." That rubbish conflicts with the wishes and desires of his master SINCE being elected. Kelowna residents are urged to remind Dyas of his bullshit BEFORE the council meeting slated for this steal.(tdyas@kelowna.ca)
There has been no whisper whatsoever about Gaganpreet Singh Randhawa. The Sandher crime family is on borrowed time.
Randhawa had another bail hearing scheduled for March 28, 2025, his 5th. Its possible the matter was removed from the list because he did not appear. If that happened it suggests a deal has been struck putting Randhawa into witness protection. We expect high profile fentanyl busts, eventually. Gurtaj Singh Sandher has many reasons to worry. His time is surely running out.
Gaganpreet Singh Randhawa must have realized that ratting everyone out is his only way of staying alive.
Randhawa is the only man charged in the Falkland lab bust, the largest drug lab in Canadian history. Randhawa is in serious jeopardy, and if released he is a large hit target. Randhawa must be silenced. There is no way the Sinaloa Cartel and Edgar Watson can allow Randhawa to bust upper management. See ----->Falkland Lab Bust
Edgar Watson - Sinaloa Cartel
Gaganpreet Singh Randhawa, 32, is from Jalandhar in Punjab. He faces 7 charges including drugs, weapons and explosives. Randhawa is a Jatt clan found in the Punjab region of India and Pakistan.

The Randhawa brothers in Vernon are connected to the Sandhers. Palwinder Randhawa (palwinder1980@hotmail.com) and Kabal Randhawa touted Sandher in the press on Sept 9, 2024. They are orchardists at 7467 Baker Hogg Road in Vernon. "The closure of BC Tree Fruits was scary for our family farm. Growing fruit these days is challenging and losing our packing and distribution partner made things even harder," said Kabal Randhawa of Randhawa orchards. "The kindness shown by Sandher Fruit Packers has given me hope that we can get through this." The Randhawas last produced a miniscule 400 bins with BCTF. That may be less than 5 acres.
The Randhawas are collecting $13,898 from taxpayers to 'provide a youth with some work experience in the agriculture and agri-food sector.' Here

The haul of drugs from the Falkland superlab was destined for Australia and New Zealand. Australia is one of the most lucrative markets in the world for meth. Prices can reach $185k per kilo.
The B.C. director of civil forfeiture filed a forfeiture claim January 31, 2025 against the property at 5011 Hoath Road in Falkland, and equipment including a mass spectrometer, a gas chromatograph, an industrial power generator, a trailer and a flat deck. The Sandhers leased the ground from Michael Driehuyzen. Sandher lawyer Bert Tonsoo (rtonsoo@bensonlawllp.com) drafted the lease agreement.
Named in the claim are Michael Driehuyzen and Gaganpreet Singh Randhawa. Driehuyzen had nothing to say, and told Global News to contact his lawyer.
Criminal defence lawyer Joel Whysall isn't talking either. He does say Driehuyzen's Charter rights were violated. joel@mwcrimlaw.com
In 2015 and 2016 cops busted pot grow ops at the property.
Sources say Sami El-Helou is under extreme pressure. Sami El-Helou's exact issue is speculation, but the cop heat on him has been turned up. The U.S. might have finally unsealed an indictment, or perhaps its related to the Pahalgam attack. A problem for a nervous El-Helou is a problem for the Sandher crime family. Time shall tell. There has been a rise in eyeballs searching out Sami El-Helou here. Something is surely up.
Moscow based Sami El-Helou and his Brightway is a major clearing house for dirty money from global players. Sami El-Helou has deep ties with Hezbollah, and Pakistani intelligence.
A man from Ahmedabad unknowingly filmed the Pahalgam Islamist terror attack, unaware of the chaos unfolding around him. The attack killed 26. The Resistance Front (TRF), a terrorist group seen as a proxy for the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), has claimed responsibility.
El-Helou's 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 also 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 Bir Singh Sandher in the late 90's. Sami El-Helou handles more than half of Sinaloa Cartel dirty money, and reliable sources say up to 70%. That is tens of billions.
El-Helou is an Emirati citizen who immigrated to Canada with his parents Hamid and Fatima. He studied pharmacy at University of Waterloo and opened Brightway Pharmacy in Brampton under the Guardian Drugs banner. He lost his license to practice after getting busted for selling drugs. El-Helou left Canada in 2013. El-Helou's family were smugglers in gold and other commodities, as well as being hawaladars. Sami El-Helou has taken it to the next level. He is a crypto trader using Brightway Financial LLP, based in the UAE. El-Helou washes crypto of rogue players. Dirty crypto is cashed out at a Moscow crypto exchange, Garantex being one, into a Russian Bank, wired into an account in a different Russian Bank under the name of a different entity, then used to buy clean assets. El-Helou uses accounts at Sberbank, Gazprombank, and VTB. He operates freely.
Lyudmila Shcherbakova is proxy owner of Brightway on behalf of Sami El-Helou in Russia. She is President of Velpharm Group and listed as one of Russia's richest women. (info@brightway.ru) Here. The Enderby precursors came from partner chemical companies of Velpharm in India and China. Shcherbakova fronts Velpharm, while El-Helou pulls strings from behind the curtain. Velpharm supplies drug making equipment and chemicals through its partners in India, China, and Thailand. Gurtaj Singh Sandher met with Lyudmila Shcherbakova and Sami El-Helou while he was in Moscow.
Sami El-Helou hasn't left his guilded Moscow bolthole since August 2024. He sold his Gulfstream jet, and bought an Embraer Praetor 600 instead, this so as not to be hindered by Russian sanctions. A new Embraer Praetor 600 jet starts around $21m USD. El-Helou has 3 different passports, with 3 different names he can travel under. One of these is a Mexican passport.
His jet waits for a destination at Vnukovo airport.
If his Gulfstream ever broke down in Russia, Sami would be screwed for parts. Those are only available on the Chinese black market at huge cost and long wait times. With a Brazilian jet, there are no such issues. The US heat on El-Helou, once large, has tapered off. El-Helou is safe in Moscow.
An FBI 'most wanted' notice for Sami El-Helou never materialized. It always may.
Sami El-Helou has a luxurious office on the 91st floor (Suite 9124) in the east tower of Moscow's Federation tower. Brightway Capital Partners has a staff of 42. El-Helou's primary business involves working with the FSB to evade economic sanctions by disbursing money to Kremlin assets in the west to buy high demand goods and electronics which are then trans-shipped through Dubai to Moscow. Russian women that work for El-Helou are expendable and very expendable by age 30. "Be Silent, or be Silenced' is the motto they live and die by. 3 women have disappeared over 5 years. They are silenced after learning too much.
El-Helou has been hiding in Moscow with Russian wife Natalia. The heat on El-Helou increased in Dubai. He was tipped off of an assassination plot so he left the UAE. A competitor in the business wants him dead. 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.
Kyiv offices were located on the top floor.
The US has its sights set on $15m of Sami El-Helou real estate in Ukraine. Brightway LLC was sanctioned by multiple countries for acting as a conduit bypassing sanctions on Iran. El-Helou simply operates Brightway in Moscow as a different identity. Sami El-Helou operated with impunity in Ukraine. Storm clouds appeared in 2018. His Moscow residency and collusion with Russia meant that by 2019 he was under constant watch as a security threat.
El-Helou left Ukraine and was declared persona non grata. His fixer in Kyiv is Svitlana Bronska. She now holds Brightway Ukraine for him.
El-Helou had 15 apartments he was renting in Kyiv - only 2 of which have sold. His 'Brightway' is subject to multiple sanctions worldwide. He simply changed the name slightly and continued business in Russia. Sami El-Helou's luxury flat in Ukraine remains unsold. His residence is for sale for $5m US.
A case was reopened in America and involves Sami El-Helou. Information came about from the arrest of Ismael Zambada Garcia (El-Mayo) in July 2024. The 2 caged chapito get a deal from the U.S. for turning in El-Mayo. Its business as usual for the 2 remaining chapitos. Sami El-Helou and associates, including Gurtaj Singh Sandher, could face extradition to the U.S. Here
Sami El-Helou owns a luxury penthouse in Dubai Creek Harbour worth $15m, and owns a luxury home in Millennium Park Village (House 17) on the outskirts of Moscow. Sami El-Helou become friends with Gurtaj Sandher, now 31. Its through Sami El-Helou that Gurtaj Sandher and Prabtaj Sandher got introduced to Sinaloa cartel connections. In order to do business with the Sinaloa Cartel the Sandher boys needed to be introduced and vetted. Sandher Family Trust owns a $5m suite in the Palm Jumeriah area.
A real estate rental company in Dubai is owned 50% by El-Helou and 50% by Sandher Family Trust. Elan Shoreline Holiday Home Rental was established in 2008. Sadaf 3, JBR, Elan Shoreline. https://elansuites.com contact@elansuites.com
Gurtaj Sandher was a guest at El-Helou's exclusive residence in the suburbs of Moscow. Tarnvir Sandher, Gurtaj Sandher, and Prabtaj Sandher have all travelled to Dubai for sit downs with El-Helou.
Sandher greed is limitless. They acquired the former tower ranch on Black Mountain in 2020. The cover story for the massive drug lab bunker at 4502 Pyman Road is cherry orchards. Here
