Iranian water mafia

A record-breaking combination of heat and humidity last summer translated to an Iranian heat index value of more than 150 degrees, pushing the limits of human survival. Iran is grappling with water bankruptcy, where the consumption of renewable fresh water surpasses that available, leaving limited water reserves relegated to diminishing ground water. Aquifer replenishment is around 20 billion cubic meters, while withdrawal exceeds 51 billion cubic meters annually, resulting in a negative balance of underground fresh water. Amid criticism over the Iranian regime's environmental mismanagement that led to the disappearance of Lake Urmia, the regime is blaming foreigners. Lake Urmia, once the largest in the Middle East, has significantly shrunk over the years due to water mismanagement and climate change. In two decades the lake level has dropped more than 7 meters. (23 feet)

Following the Iran-Iraq war, the country’s development relied on aquifers, dams and hydropower production. Droughts and water shortages have led to soil erosion, desertification, and dust storms. Agriculture is sapping Iran’s surface water, stored in rivers, lakes, wetlands and reservoirs. The agricultural sector accounts for 90% of Iran’s water consumption, largely with practices rooted in tradition, not science.

Iranian authorities remain adamant about building more dams and redirecting water to address short term shortages. Tehran blames the Taliban, accusing it of violating a 1973 water treaty by restricting flow from the shared Helmand River from Afghanistan into Iran.

Limerick cocaine bust has Canadian connect

A bulker arriving in Ireland from Canada contained at least 300 kg of cocaine. The Verila arrived in the Irish port of Foynes near the city of Limerick last week. Owned by Bulgaria’s Navigation Maritime Bulgare (Navibulgar), the ship was reported to be carrying a load of grain from Canada. The ship departed Montreal on December 9. A search returned bundles of cocaine wrapped with life preservers as flotation devices and GPS beacons. Cops suspect the cocaine was to be tossed overboard to be recovered by a smaller boat.

The Verila came from Brazil and made a stop in Hamilton. Here.

This is the second major seizure the Irish have made in recent months. In September, another bulker, the Mathew, was found with over 2,000 kg of cocaine. The vessel was seized and a prosecution is ongoing in that case.

NJ pot and cocaine run goes bad

Edwin Spears, 49, and Leonardo Petrosillo, 45, were indicted after feds seized 28 pounds of cocaine and 500 pounds of pot from a private jet at Teterboro Airport in New Jersey. The plane was headed to Liverpool John Lennon Airport, but the aircraft never left on Nov. 16 due to turbulence — US Customs and Border Protection. Surveillance footage showed Spears and Petrosillo move the drug-filled luggage from their vehicles into a hotel near the airport and then to the plane.

Spears has a criminal history dating to 1992, and was collared in 2010 on charges of money laundering, bribery, and racketeering. Described as a 'five-star general' of the Nine Trey Bloods, he has ties to the Lucchese crime family and others. Spears and Petrosillo pleaded not guilty to drug conspiracy charges in Brooklyn Federal Court. They are jailed in the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn.

Montreal cops land huge gold stash

Montreal cops stumbled on a huge cache of gold while carrying out a raid to seize illegal guns. Police arrested seven and seized nine firearms, a kilogram of cocaine, and 1.5 kg of meth. They also confiscated $500k in cash and “a large quantity of gold.” That 'large quantity' is said to be hundreds of thousands worth. In the annals of Montreal crime, the seizure of gold is extremely rare. In 40 years there is only one comparable story. In 1994, provincial police carried out a series of raids on the West End Gang, seizing 26.5 tonnes of hash at the Port of Montreal, along with $800k cash and two 2 kg bars of gold. NATURALLY folks are asking about the fate of the gold from the Toronto airport heist this spring.

Brink’s says a thief used a fraudulent waybill to steal 400 kg of gold worth $20.4m.

Carlos Orense Azocar - 'El Gordo' guilty

The kingpin moved upwards of 1 tonne per week.

A Manhattan jury found Carlos Orense Azocar, 68, guilty on three counts related to importing cocaine into the U.S. Orense, 'El Gordo', the Fat Man, worked with the Cartel de Los Soles and the Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia (FARC) guerrillas to smuggle cocaine. Former Venezuelan General Hugo Carvajal, who also faces drug charges in New York, has been fingered as a key player. He was the former head of security for the country.

Drug proceeds, described as huge, were laundered through a U.S. company which is wholly owned by Venezuelan state-owned Citgo. Drug-laden planes from Colombia landed in airstrips near the Venezuelan border, while security armed with AK-47 rifles stood guard, some of them wearing uniforms from the Venezuelan military. Documents claim that millions were paid to Venezuelan military officials to ensure the smooth running of the operation.

'El Gordo' is looking at life.

Wilder Sanchez Farfan - 'Gato'

Wilder Sanchez Farfan - 'Gato' (The Cat) is a drug lord with ties to Mexico's Jalisco New Generation cartel. Wanted in the United States, Farfan was arrested in Colombia in February. The U.S. Treasury Department calls him "one of the most significant drug traffickers in the world."

Ralph Stanfield - SA construction mafia

Firms run by the wife of 28s gang boss Ralph Stanfield have been blacklisted as the City of Cape Town excludes contractors tied to wife Nicole Johnson. The City says after the murder of staffer Wendy Kloppers, it launched an investigation into the extortion mafia and companies which applied for tenders. Nicole Johnson owned 7 out of 12 companies.

Moll Nicole Johnson’s business was thrust into the spotlight in 2019 after her company, Glomix House Brokers, was awarded a tender to build houses in Valhalla Park, a stronghold of the 28s gang. A city manager says the formation of construction companies by gangsters to obtain government tenders is a ploy to steal. He says while skollies (slang, petty criminals) portray themselves as Robin Hoods, the community suffers as extortion impacts social housing. Wendy Kloppers was visiting the Delft Symphony Way housing project site when she was gunned down Feb 16. The Delft Housing Project has been suspended and the poor will wait even longer for homes.
