William Rainville - 249 Glock frames, parts = full parole after a year

Smuggling 249 handguns into Canada cost William Rainville a year in jail. Despite a five-year sentence, he’s in a halfway house and allowed day parole. The street value of his weapons was estimated at $1.6m.

William Rainville pleaded guilty to six counts of possession of weapons for the purpose of trafficking and possession of weapons without permits. He pulled a five-year prison term. The minimum sentence which Rainville pleaded guilty to is three years and the maximum sentence is ten years. On social media, William Rainville wrote that his goal in life was to achieve financial freedom at age 40. He owned half a dozen rental properties, including a dilapitated home steps from the US border. The old house has a crooked roof, faded paint, and grounds littered with rusty farm tools. The creaky home was the 6th purchased by Rainville, a year before his bust.

Camping gear was inside. The house comes with something else. A white concrete stele is yards away. The inscription "Canada" appears on the north side, and "United States" on the south side.

Rainville was nailed during a border surveillance operation by RCMP. They found five hockey bags filled with frames and parts for restricted firearms. Contraband was 249 illegal unassembled weapons, namely Polymer 80 Glock frames. All the parts needed to make the weapons operational were present. The firearms, when assembled, go for $2,500 each on the street.

Rainville was busted with large capacity magazines, bolt assemblies with barrels that were less than 105 mm in length, the jigs and all the parts necessary for assembly. Rainville faced multiple charges including importing restricted firearms and possession of prohibited firearms.

Mafia orders hit on Pocho the dog - flashback

Pocho the nine-year-old Jack Russell terrier was a key target of the Neapolitan Camorra in 2018, one of the largest, oldest, and most powerful Mafia families in the world. Pocho sniffed out more than two tonnes of drugs during his career with the Naples police. The K9 rose to the top and was one of the greatest threats to the mobsters’ drug trafficking operations.

Pocho deprived them of uncountable millions.

The Camorra left poisoned bait for him and attempted to protect its stashes by placing female dogs in heat nearby. Following the failure of those ploys, the gangsters then offered a €5,000 bounty. There is no indication of Pocho's fate, suggesting he was not whacked. He would be an advanced senior if still alive today.

Triple Moncton RCMP killer Justin Bourque might get out of jail

New Brunswick's highest court says it had no choice but to reduce the sentence of Justin Bourque, a man who used a semi-automatic rifle to murder three Mounties in cold blood in Moncton in 2014. Bourque's parole ineligibility period is now 25 years, down from the 75 years imposed by a lower court judge. The ruling was based on a Supreme Court of Canada decision involving Quebec City mosque shooter Alexandre Bissonnette. It struck down a 2011 federal law that allowed judges to extend parole ineligibility.

The killer, 24 at the time of the murders, might be able to apply for parole when he is 49.

The Supreme Court decided that consecutive sentences violated the Charter of Rights and Freedoms because they amounted to cruel and unusual punishment for offenders who faced no realistic possibility of being granted parole before they died.

Tramadol on the rise

Nigerian cops seized intercepted 2,684,900 pills of tramadol and exol-5 as well as 1800ml of codeine concealed in the reserve fuel tank of a trailer. Drug kingpin Hussaini Ibrahim 'Bafu', was arrested. The UN says the trade and growing abuse of tramadol, a synthetic opioid, are destabilizing parts of Africa. The nonmedical use of tramadol has become a major health crisis in some areas. Tramadol produces effects similar to morphine and oxycodone. It gives users a sense of detachment from reality and makes them delusional. Less stigmatized than other opioids, tramadol as a prescription medication can be accessed and transported easily. The drug is finding its way into Europe. “This is serious,” a Danish addiction treatment specialist at a youth addiction centre in the town of Greve, southwest of Copenhagen. Six of the 20 teens enrolled in the facility were there because of their addiction to tramadol.

In October 2022 drug baron and Chairman of Automation Motors Ugochukwu Chukwukadibia was busted. One of his six mansions was raided, leading to 443 cartons of Tramadol Hydrochloride 225mg, which contained 13,451,466 pills.

Street prices are low, but still 5 times higher than cost, making Tramadol extremely profitable. It is favoured as a lower cost alternative to Percocet, Suboxone, and Oxycodone. Tramadol is a money generator for terror groups and is used regularly. The dosage used is often four or five times higher than recommended.

Jay Dobyns reveals HA rules

Jay Dobyns, 61, was working for the ATF from 2001 to 2003 when he took on the persona of Jay Davis or 'Jaybird' and posed as a gun runner and debt collector. "With regards to women, there's a hierarchy that takes place within the gang. There's old ladies who are the wives or girlfriends of members and they're off limits. You better not get caught trying to mess around with a member's wife or girlfriend, because there's a violent price to pay." Dobyns revealed that the bikers can sleep around with other women and that it wasn't an issue when members slept with the same one. "But there's also women who, they move from member to member to member".

He joined the Mesa, Arizona, chapter after staging the murder of a rival biker.

Strict rules come with interacting with other members, and these also come with violent consequences if they aren't followed. When you meet a Hells Angel and you have your sunglasses on, you better lift your sunglasses up and look that person in the eye. "I was told if I had riding gloves on, you better take your riding glove off when you shake hands with a Hells Angel. Never touch a Hells Angel's patch, never slap them on the back. I made those mistakes and I was smacked for it. If you're out bad they will come and take back their cut. They will take back your motorcycle, that's their property in their eyes, and they'll take back tattoos."

Operation Black Biscuit resulted in 55 members of the Hells Angels and its associates being indicted, including 16 high-ranking members of the gang who were indicted on charges including murder, murder for hire, racketeering and drug trafficking.

4 homes seized in Quebec after GHB bust

Homes of Sébastien Turcotte, 43, Jean-Philippe Robitaille, 44, and Éric Matte, 42, are subject to orders to restrain proceeds of crime after the men were pinned last week. They are suspected of orchestrating the largest GHB trafficking network in Quebec, from 2014 to 2022. They face charges of gangsterism, production, possession, transportation and trafficking of narcotics. They produced GHB with a resale value of $280m to $860m.

Sébastien Turcotte

Jean-Philippe Robitaille

After trafficking GHB under the radar for years, the three would have run to their own doom by being less vigilant, according to court documents. The investigation began during a meeting in a café between Stéphane Plouffe, an influential member of the Hells Angels, and a suspected cocaine dealer, who then crossed paths with the trio. In April 2022, the network was caught when Turcotte met a narcotics buyer who was already under police surveillance. Turcotte had 400 liters of GHB.

HA boss Joseph Lancia - 1 year in big house down, 4 to go

HA Rhode Island boss Joseph Lancia marked the first anniversary of his five year prison sentence for a 2019 shooting involving a former prospect. Lancia was sentenced in Feb 2022 to 15 years in prison with five to serve and the remainder suspended with probation. The R.I. Supreme Court denied HA Joseph Lancia’s request for judges to weigh in on a judge's decision not to recuse herself from presiding over his case because her husband is a cop. Lancia, 30, fired a gun at a truck driven by former prospect Richard Starnino. Lancia argued for the judge's recusal. Prosecutors called Lancia’s request “absurd and condescending.”

Lancia was shot down twice to have his judge recuse herself. Lancia appealed to the state Supreme Court and lost. He dodged assault charges after a cop witnessed him in a bar fight while he was out on bail.
