Rédoine Faïd: France jailbreak gangster on trial

Rédoine Faïd, who escaped prison in 2018 aboard a hijacked helicopter in a jailbreak that astonished France, went on trial in Paris. Eleven accomplices, including members of his family, are on trial alongside Faïd, charged with helping him in the escape for 3 months. The prison escape was Faïd’s second in five years. In April 2013, he used explosives to blow open gates and took four hostages to escape from Sequedin Prison in northern France. Faïd wrote that he discovered his "calling" at the age of 12, having, he claimed, already stolen candy from a supermarket at the age of six.

In 2010, he co-authored a book about his adventures entitled “Braqueur: Des cites au grand banditisme” (Armed Robber: From housing estates to organized crime) Access to the courtroom was under special protection and mobile phone signals scrambled. Rédoine Faïd was spotted by cops near Paris. He fled the scene and abandoned a car with plastic explosives and fake license plates in a car park. On 1 July Faïd, 46, broke out of a prison with the help of armed accomplices who hijacked a helicopter. The Jailbird King, as he is dubbed by French media, was serving a 25-year sentence for a failed 2010 robbery during which a police officer was killed. Some 2,900 police officers joining a national manhunt to track him down.

France's Justice Minister called it "a spectacular escape. It was an extremely well-prepared commando unit that may have used drones to survey the area beforehand."

Mob links foiled Donald Trump's plan for Sydney Casino

Donald Trump's bid to open the first casino in Sydney in the 1980s was thwarted by the New South Wales government due to his "mafia connections". In 1987 Trump’s joint venture with the Queensland-based Kern Corporation was one of the four bidders for the casino's tender.

Scarfo with Salvatore "Salvie" Testa

What swung the decision against Trump were his dealings with mob-related personalities while buying property to further his casino establishments in Atlantic City. To enlarge Trump Plaza in the early 80s, Trump bought a nightclub that was owned by Salvatore 'Salvie' Testa and Frank Narducci Jr, mob hitmen known as the Young Executioners. The two worked for Atlantic City’s mob boss Nicodemo “Little Nicky” Scarfo. Trump bought the 5,000-square-foot lot that had been bought five years earlier for $195,000 for $1.1 million, more than twice it's market value.

Anthony "Fat Tony" Salerno

Trump hired mobbed-up firms to erect Trump Tower and his Trump Plaza apartment building in Manhattan, including buying overpriced concrete from a company controlled by mafia chieftains Anthony “Fat Tony” Salerno and Paul Castellano. That story eventually came out in a federal investigation, which also concluded that the Trump Plaza apartment building benefited from connections to racketeering. Salerno and Castellano controlled the ready-mix business in New York. The indictment on which Salerno was convicted in 1988 and sent to prison, where he died, listed the $8m contract for concrete at Trump Plaza. In the summer of 1982 there was citywide strike, but the concrete work continued at the Trump Tower.

Donald Trump with editor Edward Kosner, center, and Roy Cohn, a Trump mentor and lawyer whose clients included bosses Salerno and Castellano.

It was a multitude of deals such as these that fueled rumors of Trump’s association with the mafia. Trump's Taj Mahal casino was fined $10 million for the money laundering that occurred over it's lifetime. Thanks in large part to the laxity of New Jersey gaming investigators, Trump has never had to address his extensive dealings with mobsters head-on. On the campaign trail, Trump was coy about his past dealings with unsavory characters. But he couldn’t resist Trumpisms: "I've known some tough cookies over the years"

HA Robert Barletta a hitman target - revisited

The date is March 30, 2020. Its possible the gunmen didn't recognize Barletta at first, who was sporting white sneakers, grey pants, a grey long-sleeved shirt and a black baseball cap as he passed the black Audi that had been parked on Ontario Street, just south of Gerard Street, for nearly four hours. He unlatches the front-yard gate when two armed men spring from the vehicle. The first man gets out of the passenger seat and is holding guns in both hands as he runs toward Barletta. None of the nearly 20 shots fired hit their mark. No one was arrested.

Barletta’s narrow escape shows he has made dangerous enemies. It also raises questions about why cops have been tight-lipped about the incident. Its said Robert Bartletta has serious problems with rivals in his own group and rivals outside of the HAMC. Cops laid more gaming charges against Barletta and seven others, seizing another $24m of assets.

Barletta faced 15 charges including bookmaking, laundering proceeds of crime, fraud over $5,000 and commission of an offence for a criminal organization.

Ecuador undone as drug cartels exploit banana industry to ship cocaine

'

Ecuador is the world’s largest exporter of bananas, shipping 6.5m metric tons a year. It is also an international shipment point for the world’s largest cocaine producers, Peru and Colombia. Violence has spread across Ecuador. Shootings, killings, kidnappings and extortions occur daily, particularly in the banana-shipping hub of Guayaquil. Cartels from Mexico, Colombia and the Balkans like Ecuador because it uses the U.S. dollar, has weak laws, and has gangs like Los Choneros eager for work.

4,570 kg of cocaine seized in the Port of Guayaquil, on October 16, 2021.

A record 2,304 metric tons of cocaine was produced in 2021 around the world, most in Colombia, Peru and Bolivia. That year, nearly a third of the cocaine seized in Western and Central Europe came from Ecuador. Large drug busts have become more frequent. Within the past month, cops have made record-setting busts after inspecting containers carrying bananas from Ecuador. On Aug. 25 Spain announced its biggest cocaine haul ever: 9.5 metric tons hidden among boxes of bananas from Ecuador in a refrigerated container. Dutch cops made their country’s largest-ever cocaine seizure last month — nearly 8 metric tons in a container of Ecuadorian bananas. Authorities in Greece and Italy also announced large seizures of cocaine hidden in Ecuadorian bananas this year.

In 2022 exports were down to 354.6 million boxes of bananas, compared to 379.54 million boxes in 2021. The top three export markets are the European Union 26.35%, Russia with 23.43% and the Middle East with 15.28%.

Vincent 'Mad Dog' Coll

Vincent 'Mad Dog' Coll (Uinseann Ó Colla) was an Irish mob hitman in 1920s and 30s in New York. Coll's ruthlessness made him a valued enforcer to Dutch Schultz at first. On July 28, 1931, Coll unsuccessfully attempted to kidnap Joey Rao, a Dutch Schultz underling. The resulting shootout left a five year old child dead and several other children wounded. After this, New York City Mayor Jimmy Walker dubbed Coll 'Mad Dog.'

Coll retained famed defense lawyer Samuel Leibowitz. Leibowitz destroyed the credibility of the prosecution's main witness, George Brecht, a man who made a living as a witness at trials. In December 1931, Coll was acquitted. Dutch Schultz and Owney Madden put a $50k bounty on Vincent Coll's head. On February 1, 1932, five gunmen invaded a Bronx apartment which Coll was rumored to frequent and opened fire with pistols and submachine guns. Three were killed and three others wounded. Coll himself didn't show up until thirty minutes after the shooting.

A week after the Bronx shootings, Mad Dog Coll was using a phone booth in the London Chemists drug store at Eighth Avenue and 23rd Street. He was talking to Madden, demanding $50,000 from the gangster under the threat of kidnapping his brother-in-law. Madden kept Coll on the line while the call was traced. Three men arrived in a dark limousine. While one waited behind the wheel, two others stepped out. One of them waited outside while the other walked inside, drew a Thompson submachine gun from under his overcoat and opened fire on Coll in the glass phone booth.

Coll's body is removed. A total of fifteen bullets were dug out of his body at the morgue.

The three men involved in Coll’s murder all met violent deaths. Leonard Scarnici was electrocuted at Sing Sing. Anthony Fabrizzo was murdered after a botched attempt on the life of "Bugsy" Siegel in 1932. Abraham "Bo" Weinberg vanished without a trace on Sept. 9, 1935, presumably killed by Schultz.
