Dany 'Lou' Sprinces Cadet denied parole

Dany 'Lou' Sprinces Cadet will automatically qualify for statutory release later this year when he reaches the two-thirds mark of his sentence.

Trangmar misunderstood

A NZ man who thought he was Hitler's grandson as he went on a rampage will remain behind bars as he gets psychological treatment. For two days in 2010, Te Rangi Jamie Charles Marshall,'Trangmar', went wild, firing shots into the roof of a bar and threatening residents with a sawn-off shotgun leaving several people injured. He's too dangerous to be released says the parole board.

Trangmar faced 17 charges, including aggravated robbery, kidnapping, assault, injuring with intent, threatening to kill and wilful damage.

Trangmar thought he was an SAS member and a trained assassin who could communicate through a microchip in his head - in particular with birds and crickets. Marshall's history on the outside isn't great. On his last release on Dec 4, 2019 he suffered a rapid decline which saw him recalled to jail five days later.

Mexican Army seizes more than 2 tons of meth

The Mexican Army seized more than 2 tons of methamphetamine, cocaine, heroin, fentanyl, and marijuana during separate security operations in the border states of Sonora and Baja California late last week. Soldiers found 1,366 plastic containers containing 1,989.4 pounds of methamphetamine, 4.4 pounds of heroin, 17,052 fentanyl pills, and 1,060.7 pounds of marijuana for a total weight of 3,053 pounds. Another bust at a checkpoint about 100 miles south of Nogales, Arizona produced 631 packages of meth weighing 1,122 pounds, 14.3 pounds of cocaine, and 17.6 pounds of heroin. The total weight of the contraband came out to 1,153 pounds.

Recently, Mexican Federal Police seized more than 550 pounds of meth, heroin, and fentanyl near San Luis, Arizona. The smugglers were able to flee. Most seizures are the result of the Sinaloa Cartel’s escalated production using “super labs.”

Sources say the cartel has boosted production.

Big Jim Colosimo: The father of the Chicago Outfit

Vincenzo 'Big Jim' Colosimo was a crime boss who emigrated from Calabria in 1895 and rose from a street sweeper to building a criminal empire in Chicago based on prostitution, gambling, and racketeering. From 1902 until his death in 1920, he led a gang that became known as the Chicago Outfit. Johnny Torrio was an enforcer Colosimo imported in 1909 from New York. Al Capone was Torrio's henchman, and his driver. On May 11, 1920 Colosimo was killed by two shots. Chicago had lost its first mob boss.

His murder was unsolved.

His funeral set the standard for gangland sendoffs. The milelong cortege was led by brass bands and was big news. “Thousands blocked nearby streets, clung to fire escapes, leaned from windows and peered down from roofs on the funeral procession.” Torrio took over Colosimo’s criminal enterprises. In 1925, he was shot several times during an assassination attempt. He took early retirement and turned the operation over to Capone.
