Maria Licciardi buys 13 years - madrina

Naples prosecutors describe Maria Licciardi as a true “madrina” – godmother in the Camorra syndicate. The crime boss, also known as 'The Monkey', inherited the role from her brother Gennaro when he died in prison. Her blood lust has been more than a match for any male rival. She is said to be responsible for 100 murders. Licciardi has been sentenced to nearly 13 years in jail by an Italian court for leading a Camorra clan founded by her brothers. Extortion, drug trafficking and the infiltration of public works contracts are traditional sources of revenue for the Camorra. The clan, based in the Naples suburb of Secondigliano, is part of a larger criminal group known as the Secondigliano Alliance, which controls much of the crime in the Naples area. Licciardi, 71, was arrested in August of 2021 while attempting to travel to Spain to visit her daughter. She previously served eight years in jail.

Licciardi was one of the victors in a blood feud between clans that left Naples littered with corpses. She has always protested her innocence. “I am a housewife but I have always worked. I have been a shoemaker. I hate drugs and if I see young people taking drugs it makes me feel desperate.” Licciardi inspired the character of Scianel in the television series Gomorrah.

Bloodthirsty mafia boss Putin (Mad Vlad) kills 39, so far

The deaths of at least 39 high profile Russians shows the bloodstained hands of the Kremlin.

Russian scientist Andrey Botikov was strangled with a belt in his apartment last week. He too had criticized Putin. Experts described Putin (Mad Vlad) as running a "modern-day FSB version of Murder Inc." "Anyone seen as a potential threat seems to have an attraction to an open window," said one expert.

Sub human All Boivin on the run - spotted

Seen in Montérégie, All Boivin is still running. He is now on the list of the ten most wanted criminals in Quebec. The only K9 to get away in Operation Radon is All Boivin, 33, the head of the ring. A dozen were busted.

Boivin is a career offender with a violent criminal past, most notably for assault causing harm and cocaine trafficking. In 2018, Boivin savagely tortured his girlfriend, 21. She was beaten for hours, strangled and sprayed with cayenne pepper. Her head was dunked in water, she was kicked repeatedly and her lip was burned with a cigarette. She spent two weeks in hospital with serious injuries, including laceration of her liver and hundreds of bruises.

Boivin was sentenced to four and a half years in prison in April 2019, but this was overturned in the Court of Appeal due to errors of law. He pleaded guilty in Jan 2021 and avoided another trial.

Cops are asking the public to stay alert and to contact authorities if the wanted 'man' is spotted. Boivin is 6 ft tall and weighs 250 lbs. He has brown hair, blue eyes, and a scar on his left shoulder. He should not be approached. Cops remind some that helping this animal means one becomes liable to a charge of obstruction of justice.

Hells Angels of the animal kingdom - feral hogs

Wild hogs are described in many ways. Deleterious and invasive is the most generous. Latest is 'Trophy Boar' from a bow hunter in Texas. 30 years ago in the Texas Panhandle, there were no wild hogs. Today they are common. Creeks and rivers serve as a swine highway to expand their range. Like a plague of locusts, nocturnal feral hogs destroy crops, they root and destroy manicured golf courses, raid turkey nests, muddy ponds with their excrement, and destroy cattle pastures. Texas has an estimated 2.6 million feral hogs and you can hunt them year round with no bag limit. You are doing a good deed offing the basterds.

Nasty, vicious, super-adaptable, crafty and disease laden. The feral hog's hellish impact on food chains, irrigation, recreation, and land replenishment is well known. Born of escaped domestic hogs and wild boars imported by sport hunters, they are prolific. Beginning at six months of age a sow (sounder) can spit out 12 piglet litters twice a year. The hellions have few, if any, predators tough enough to take them on. In Canada in the 1980s, Russian boars and European hogs landed as seed stock for meat production and controlled hunting. Oikers escaped, went feral and reproduced. Their numbers in Canada aren't clear, but they have exploded in number over the past decade.Their range now spreads over nearly 800,000 sq km, mostly on the Prairies.

Its said the pigs make good eating.

Montana has a 'Squeal on Pigs' program. Citizens are urged to report the swine so they can be dispatched.
