8,000 kg cocaine seizure at Port of Rotterdam

Fernando Villavicencio was known for speaking out against drug cartels and corruption in Ecuador.

Customs in Rotterdam have confiscated more than 8,000 kg (17,600 pounds) of cocaine, the largest seizure of the drug in the Netherlands. Drugs had an estimated street value of 600m million euros. ($668m USD) No arrests have been made. The haul doubles the previous cocaine record. Prosecutors said the drugs were discovered on July 13 hidden in a container of bananas from Ecuador.

The bust came a day after presidential candidate Fernando Villavicencio, a member of Ecuador's national assembly, was executed at a campaign rally.

Holland HA Lysander de Ruijter revisited - update II

Former Hells Angels leader Lysander de Ruiter, 41, was arrested in his cell last week in the prison in Heerhugowaard. It concerns offenses of the MC Hardliners, of which he is leader and founder.

Last year Lysander de Ruijter was plucked from Zaanstad prison and sent to another, unnamed facility. Lysander de Ruijter was the con in charge at Zaanstad prison. Called the Zaanstad Cartel, the biker's network includes Ridouan Taghi. Earlier, members of de Ruijter's Hardliners MC were charged with kidnapping and extortion. The Netherlands banned the Hells Angels. The Hells Angels clone club hasn't been banned, yet. Prosecutors pointed out that former members of the infamous motorcycle clubs Caloh Wagoh and No Surrender have joined the clearly HA connected Hardliners MC.

Something is up with Lysander de Ruijter and/or Ridouan Taghi.

Things didn't end well in the trial for biker boss Lysander de Ruijter. He was put away in mid-2018 for 14 years. He organized a new club from behind bars, the Hardliners. When we left Lysander de Ruijter in 2016 he had been sentenced by a court in Alkmaar to 2.5 years in prison. He was found guilty of illegal firearm possession and assault. It involved an arsenal of weapons  including a missile launcher, grenades, and a machine gun.

Justin Primmer - "I hate the Hells Angels" - Desiree’s Ride

In May 2013, Desiree Gallagher, 22, met Justin Primmer and went to his apartment. He beat her and she fell seven floors from his balcony, causing severe injuries that ended her life. Primmer was convicted of assault causing bodily harm. Primmer was labelled a dangerous offender in 2017. He now boasts the very rare "dangerous offender" tag that carries an indefinite jail sentence. He had his appeal denied by Ontario’s highest court. He shows “persistent aggressive behaviour and substantial indifference”. Primmer was closely associated with the Hells Angels when he was out of jail and amassed a long record for violence. His victims confronted him again Aug. 2 at the Bath federal penitentiary near Kingston. Parole hearings are held every 2 years. Justin Primmer was again denied parole.

Desiree Gallagher died in 2015.

Justin Primmer has no guilt or remorse.

Justin Primmer has anti-social personality disorder. Sociopathy is a person who shows no regard for right and wrong and ignores the rights and feelings of others. People with sociopathy antagonize, manipulate or treat others harshly, with cruelty or with callous indifference.

All the psychiatrists who assessed Primmer said he was a high risk to re-offend. All considered him dangerous.

Justin Primmer was pictured at the London Hells Angels clubhouse, often wearing HA support gear. With him were high-ranking members of the biker hierarchy, including president Rob 'Teflon Biker' Barletta and sergeant-at-arms Dave 'The Hammer' MacDonald. In several photos, bikers have an arm around Primmer’s shoulders. HAMC will often decline to have anyone touch them unless they’re a close associate of the club.

Desiree Gallagher's mother turned her attention to a “fun-filled day” of raising funds. The Desiree’s Ride event on Aug. 19 will be the eighth annual event, after missing two years due to COVID-19. Real motorcycle riders will tour down to Hoover’s Marina in Nanticoke and then back to the Knights of Columbus hall where, around 3 p.m., riders and non-riders are invited to a barbecue with a live band and prizes. Last year the event raised about $5,200 for victims of crime. Give generously.

Colombo boss Victor Orena - revisited

“I’m the boss. I’m going to fire you,” Victor Orena, 89, tells the prison staff at the dementia unit at Federal Medical Center Devens, a federal prison in Mass. Vic Orena is often too busy or important to deal with anybody else. Other days he orders everyone around like an overwrought mafioso. Orena was asked if he knew where he was. “This is a prison,” he said, brightly. “Why are you here?” “I don’t remember,” he frowned. “I don’t know.” Officials say 90% of the men in the unit don’t know what they did. Some of them don’t even know where they are. Some don't know who they are. Several of the men need help with the toilet and wear diapers. Ex-Colombo crime boss Victor Orena’s last appeal for compassionate release was shot down by a federal appeals court in 2022. The 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals found no grounds for freeing the mob boss, insuring he will die behind bars.

Vittorio 'Little Vic' Orena is a New York mobster who became the acting boss of the Colombo crime family. A challenge by Orena to jailed boss Carmine Persico triggered one of the bloodiest Mafia wars in New York history. Orena is so stricken with Alzheimer's that he thinks he is president.

Persico died in prison in 2019.

The once greatly feared boss has advanced dementia, is wheelchair-bound, and can no longer care for himself. Orena has been in prison since 1992 after being sentenced to life plus 85 years. The Colombo conflict spiraled out of control in 1991. As the war progressed into 1992, Orena was convicted of murder and racketeering. By the end of 1992, the shooting war had ended and Persico remained in control of the Colombo family.

Luchese boss Vittorio 'Little Vic' Amuso begs for compassionate release - denied

Bloody former mob boss Vittorio 'Little Vic' Amuso will die in jail like many of his peers. Amuso deserved no mercy for his evil life.

Amuso was dubbed the 'The Deadly Don'

Vittorio 'Little Vic' Amuso, 88, a former boss of the Luchese crime family, says his health is falling apart in federal prison. His lawyers say the mobster is “staring down his mortality.” Amuso is the latest in a string of mafia figures who have applied for compassionate release under Trump's First Step Act of 2018.

Amuso was convicted in 1992 of murder and racketeering. He was linked to nine murders and three attempted killings.

Michael 'Big Mike' DeSantis, Matthew 'Matty' Madonna.

Vittorio Amuso sent a coded letter from jail to underboss Steven 'Stevie Wonder' Crea in 2017. Brooklyn Luchese wiseguy Michael 'Big Mike' DeSantis was to take the reins of acting boss from Matthew 'Matty' Madonna. Madonna, 83, agreed to step aside, averting a blood bath. In the late 1980s and early ’90s more than a dozen Luchese members were murdered in a power struggle. Boss Vic Amuso and his top lieutenant, Anthony 'Gaspipe' Casso, carried out many murders.

Thomas ‘Bomber’ Kavanagh turns rat = buggered

Kinahan boss Thomas ‘Bomber' Kavanagh aimed to get a reduced jail term for giving guardia a gun stash. He gave up the location of 11 weapons and expected leniant treatment. The weapons were three handguns, four machine guns, a rifle and three machine pistols. Unfortunately the UK’s National Crime Agency went ahead and charged him with a series of firearms offences. Although he's caged, he could be hit with another twenty years if convicted on the firearms offences.
