Trump’s unhinged attacks on New York authorities in the wake of his arraignment have reached new depths. Within hours, Trump attacked both the judge and his family — including his daughter, who worked for the Biden-Harris campaign — as part of the 'Trump-hating' conspiracy against him. “This is appalling … you do not have this behavior from a mob boss!” Former prosecutor Andrew Weissmann said.
“There is a rule in organized crime: You do not do this with respect to prosecutors. You don’t do this with respect to the judge. You certainly don’t go after their families."
Latest in cyberspace are photos of tuff guy Dayne Brajkovich as a fresh faced dude with hair. Brajkovich's mug became so notorious that he was the poster boy for the Western Australian Government's bikie crackdown.
Nobody could miss bikie Dayne Brajkovich and his little woman at a recent court appearance. CCTV caught the moment infamous Aussie bikie Dayne Brajkovich queued up at a gift shop at the Perth Mint to buy $27k worth of gold - allegedly without any checks on where his cash came from.
Brajkovich, 43, who has a swastika inked onto his chin and 'Bad News' scrawled across his forehead, bought the gold at the Perth Mint in June.
CCTV footage appears to show Brajkovich had covered up many of his tattoos with black make-up on his face and hands to comply with strict WA bikie laws. High-risk customers are supposed to attract 'rigorous' checks by Mint staff to ensure criminal proceeds aren't used to buy gold as part of a money-laundering scheme. Nobody is more high-risk than world famous bikie Dayne Brajkovich.
The boss of the Perth Mint now has an inquiry on his hands. It isn't the only one.
Headlines today are screaming "The historic Perth Mint is facing a potential $9 billion recall of gold bars after selling diluted or "doped" bullion to China and then covering it up"
Jason Michael Holm admitted his guilt to cops a short time after his arrest and blamed voices in his head.
Court heard Paul Samuel Whitten was stabbed 49 times.
Jason Michael Holm
As he lay dying, a bloodied Kamloops father pointed the finger at his neighbour, telling a cop “Jason did it.” Jason Michael Holm’s first-degree murder trial got underway in Kelowna. He is accused of killing Paul Samuel Whitten, who was stabbed to death on Aug. 2, 2020.
RCMP Const. Carolyn Braun broke down describing the bloody crime scene. She described large gashes on Whitten's chest, back and arms. “Blood was everywhere — all over him, all over the walkway,” she said.
“He was asking for help. You could see in his face, he was begging for help." She approached the dying man and asked him his name. “He told me Paul,” she said. “I asked, ‘Paul, who did this?’ He said, ‘Jason did it.’”
Anthony Provenzano was born in New York in 1917. By the 1950s, he was president of the Teamsters Local 560, New Jersey, and vice-president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters. He was also a made member of the Genovese crime family. Provenzano and Jimmy Hoffa were allies for years, stealing union funds. Provenzano went to prison in 1963 for extortion, and Hoffa went to prison in 1967 for bribery and fraud. The former lost his union pension while Hoffa kept his. They reportedly came across each other by chance at an airport, and Hoffa is said to have broken a bottle over Provenzano’s head, while the mobster told the union boss that he would "rip his guts out with his bare hands and kill his grandchildren." In 1975, Hoffa disappeared. He had been in Detroit for a meeting with Provenzano and mobster Anthony Giacalone, but they never showed up. That crime remains unsolved.
In 1978, he was convicted of ordering the 1961 murder of Anthony Castellito. He was sentenced to 25 years. A month later Provenzano was also sentenced to four years for arranging kickbacks on a $2.3m pension loan. A year after that, he was also convicted on labor racketeering charges, which landed him another 20-year prison term.
Provenzano died of a heart attack at Lompoc Federal Penitentiary, aged 71 in 1988.
Const. Siggy Pietrzak was recently found not guilty in a high-profile assault trial. He was disciplined for running afoul of the RCMP Code of Conduct however. He loses 20 days pay and stands to be transferred after “discrediting the force”.
Tyler Russell was on the receiving end of at least 10 punches from Const. Siggy Pietrzak while he was held by two other cops. A notice of civil claim outlines six causes of action against Siggy 'Piggy' Pietrzak, the B.C. Minister of Justice and AG of Canada.
Cops say ... “During the arrest, the man actively resisted and allegedly turned combative toward the RCMP officers, who requested immediate backup.” It wasn't Pietrzak's first complaint and it was his sister who ratted him out. "My brother is the one that flew out of the vehicle and started throwing punches," she said in an email. "That’s who my brother is."
The Kelowna RCMP has had a long string of incidents.
Sanjay Madan has been sentenced to 10 years in prison after pleading guilty to multiple charges of fraud, breach of trust and money laundering.
Madan was fired in Nov 2020 from his $176k job as director of the Ministry of Education’s iAccess Solutions Branch after his fraud surfaced. He owns Newgen Ventures Inc. a company registered in Panama that owns millions in real estate, all of which was listed for sale. His assets include a seven-bedroom, seven-bathroom house in North York, six Toronto condominiums, and more than $1m from the sale of another home. Madan holds Canadian and Indian passports as well as permanent residency status in Panama, a tax haven with no extradition treaty with Canada.
His lawyer claimed he had mental issues.
Sons of Sanjay Madan sued Ontario for $1m in “psychological” damages. Chinmaya Madan, 27, and Ujjawal Madan, 24, claim the government’s “allegation of conspiracy” against them is “preposterous” and “has been advanced recklessly and maliciously.” Chinmaya Madan was a product manager who resigned in July 2020 while brother Ujjawal Madan worked under their father.
The province says some or all of Madan, his spouse, Shalini, their sons, and Madan’s associate Vidhan Singh perpetrated a massive fraud exceeding $21m.
Sanjay Madan received $10m in secret commissions for steering government contracts to companies he or Vidhan Singh controlled. Madan and his family opened more than 400 accounts at the Bank of Montreal. They deposited more than 10,000 cheques made out to fictitious people with non-existent children under the Covid support program.
In a statement of defence Madan blames the province for lax security that allowed “widespread misappropriation” of taxpayer funds.
