In 2011 Sansalone was convicted in Ontario for GHB. It was the largest seizure of the ‘date rape’ drug in Canadian history. He was sentenced to six years.
Haney HA Vincenzo Sansalone, Daniel James Alexander, Martino Calabretti, and Zlatko Garvic were nailed for drug trafficking one year ago. Alexander was sentenced to five years, 12 kg of MDMA and $380k was seized.
Rats infiltrated the Nanaimo Hells Angels, over years. More than 200 investigators, RCMP units and U.S. cops were involved in the bust.
Charges were laid in April 2021. The Nanaimo Chapter clubhouse was leveled in November 15, 2023. The bikers displayed an old Death Head, one with the mouth open. That design was changed decades ago to stitch the mouth shut, reflecting core club values. Cop rats wipe the bikers out and the boys cursed themselves.
In late 2017 Manricco 'Ricco' Sansalone was shot to death. His father Joseph Sansalone and uncle Vincenzo 'Jimmy' Sansalone are both members of the Haney chapter.
If one is interested in joining the Hells Angels, or any 1% motorcycle club (outlaw motorcycle gang — OMG) and are on the internet to figure out how, then you probably won’t be joining anytime soon. Number one on the list of requirements is to have the 'right' personality, and that comes from your lifestyle. If you need to ask, you aren't in that lifestyle.
Basic requirements are;
•Have a driver's license
•Own a working motorcycle - Harley Davidson or Buell exclusively
•Never have applied to be a police officer or prison guard
•Not be a child molester
Members MUST BE white and male. Outside America, some Hells Angels charters have looser race requirements. In the U.S. it is exclusively white only. Joining the Hells Angels is considered a lifetime commitment. If you do leave the club, or are kicked out, patches are returned as they are always considered club property. Refuse and they will be taken by force. This includes body ink and jewelry.
The Phases of Membership - 'The Program'
1. The Hang-around: Being a hang-around is the first stage. Most are invited by a club member, a friend or family member who is an OMG biker to an event. Other Hells Angels MC members are constantly judging your character. A “hangaround” always shows respect and will never interrupt members when they are talking. To become a “hangaround” without introduction from an existing member is difficult. It helps if you have skills the gang finds useful — usually criminal. If you get noticed, you move up to be an associate.
2. The Associate: The next step up is the associate, where you will spend up to a few more years attending events and meeting members. They will continue to evaluate you.
3. The Prospect: A patch-wearing member of the OMG needs to sponsor a prospect. The gang will generally run a background check including credit checks so the gang can verify a prospect’s identity as thoroughly as possible. Once you are a prospect you are allowed to attend more events, however you won't vote on club matters and there will be some meetings that you are not allowed to attend. The prospect becomes the subject of jokes and is expected to do menial work like cleaning and guarding bikes. The prospect period is designed to make candidates show their loyalty to the club, which often includes committing crimes. Violence is often expected by the gang. The ultimate way for a prospect to prove his loyalty to the club is through murder.
4. The Fully Patched Member: The final step in the process. You will only reach this stage after a vote, which must be unanimous. It is the years of evaluations during the recruitment process that determine if you receive the votes required. Full-Patch, or being "patched" refers to the fact that the member has earned the right to wear patches, including the Hells Angel death head, the words "Hells Angels" on the top rocker, and the club location on the bottom rocker.
Hang-arounds, associates, and prospects may leave the club at any time. Patched members are considered to have made a life-time commitment. Some members may 'retire' from the club in good standing. This may occur due to a court order, as one example. Less than 10% leave the club this way.
Hells Angels will never go out together without their colors. If one HA is pulled over by police, the entire group will often pull over.
Hells Angels and prospects follow strict club rules.
Members can't talk to the media and can never talk to the public about the club, rules or other members. On a ride, the HA have a specific order. First is the president, then the road captain, and then the sergeant at arms, then the rest of the members and prospects. They will pull over together to avoid disrupting this order.
The vest (cut) is sacred. If one Hells Angel gets arrested they will want to give their cut to another member. For colours to fall into cops hands is an insult.
Protecting the colors applies to accidents and injuries that may require medical personnel to remove a vest or jacket. Staff are told not to cut through a Hell's Angels patch. Members are EXTREMELY sensitive to abuse of their colors. They are earned, and are extremely valuable. Even a member slapping another's back, on the patch, may result in violence.
A 'Filthy Few' patch is earned when a murder is committed for the club. A 'Dequiallo' patch is for acting violently towards cops.
Club colors are red and white. The 'Big House Crew' are members in jail. '22' refers to members who have done time. 'Big Red Machine' refers to the club.
'81' are the first two letters of the club.
'AFFA' is Angels Forever, Forever Angels.
'Red Light Crew' refers to members involved in prostitution. 'Soft colours' refers to supporter gear. The public and supporters must NEVER wear the Death Head in any form.
A year ago the piss poor construction quality of the DeCotiis was revealed with a shoring wall collapse. A year later and that project is finally nearing grade, meaning the parkade is complete. Being too cheap assholes cost the Decotiis clan a fortune.
Stepan Vdovine said work at the site was done "with appropriate permits, consistent oversight and monitoring," he added contractors "are some of the most experienced trades and engineers in the region." Amacon backfilled the excavation to stabilize the paper thin wall. A new engineer was tasked by Coquitlam for remediation.
Vancouver Shotcrete and Shoring photo shows use of wire steel mesh.
The DeCotiss clan are well known for their terrible build quality. Anything built by the DeCotiis will have problems. Here. Project moniker is 'Vue' and citizens best steer clear of it. Here.
A UBC engineering prof says the retaining wall collapse of Amacon was likely caused by improper application of too thin shotcrete and the apparent lack of use of steel wire mesh reinforcement. The 'tie-backs' remained in place while the shotcrete failed. The fill was dry so water intrusion was not a factor. There is no sign of the square, steel mesh that should be used. It may have been excluded entirely to cut costs.
Construction of temporary shoring walls is not regulated by the BC Building Code. That falls to the self-regulating Engineers and Geoscientists B.C.
“In addition, no immediate infrastructure damage is apparent." Stepan Vdovine said in an email. HOLY where did the Decotiis dig this pup up from? The appropriate response is relief that nobody got hurt. Excavation contractor is Country Green Excavating. Here. Devon Oulovski was in high school in 2012.
Onni Group has been sued several times by the City of Burnaby for their incompetence.
Marcello DeCotiis CEO.
Engineers & Geoscientists British Columbia investigated, but they are 'required' to keep all information confidential, and they revealed nothing. Giulio, Marcello, Morris, Paolo and Rossano De Cotiis are members of the family behind Onni and Amacon.
Hells Angels boss Rodrigo Elices, 32, arrived in Sydney in early December, more than two years after NSW
Strike Force detectives started hunting him down after a drug house in Kogarah caught fire in October 2022.
Elices ran away from Australia on a private jet to Thailand after a drug bust cooked his goose. Thai immigration found him at a luxury condo in Bangkok's hip downtown area of ThongLor. He had used a false passport of an Italian called Gjini. He was forced to leave.
Rather than return to Australia, Elices had remained under guard for three weeks in a lounge area at Manila’s Ninoy Aquino International Airport. On November 11, an order was issued preventing Elices from entering the country. Elices was deported on November 29 and arrested at Melbourne Airport by cops from Victoria Police’s Viper taskforce.
He was then charged with 55 drug and firearms offences.
His boxing coach Justin Kallu was kneecapped in the 'chk-chk boom' shooting in Sydney's Kings Cross in 2009. Elices became a Tix Tox sensation after winking and smiling at passengers as he was handcuffed and on his way back to Australia.
Sitting handcuffed aboard a flight from Manila to Melbourne, he had nowhere left to run.
Nicolas Cage starred as a Johnny Blaze incarnation of the character in the 2007 film Ghost Rider and its 2012 sequel, Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance. Due to copyright issues there will probably not be another Ghost Rider film.
There have been countless covers of the song. Johnny Cash's version peaked at number two on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart in 1979.
"(Ghost) Riders in the Sky: A Cowboy Legend" was written in 1948 by Stan Jones.
In 2021 Barletta launched a defamation suit against the London Free Press and owner Postmedia. His claim was for $5 million in a defamation case designed to silence the newspaper and its coverage of his gangster operation. A January 2021 article caused the club to lose business, and unfairly painted Barletta as "a vile and abhorrent person" his lawyer claimed.
A bootleg pot shop in downtown London was riddled with bullets in late 2024. Cops were called at 3:10 a.m. after a security guard heard 'loud bangs'. 17 bullet holes were visible in the back door to the unlicensed pot shop at 266 Dundas Street. The store opened in early 2024 and claimed to be Indigenous. The illegal shop reopened 3 weeks later on December 17.
Property records show the building is owned by Erin Barletta, wife of Vincent Barletta, brother of notorious Hells Angel Robert Barletta. The building was previously owned by their mother.
After a botched opening in 2023, Vincent Barletta's Bad Bunny's peeler dive was racking up cruel reviews. After apparently fixing the problem, Barletta sought all manner of hired help running his "Elevated Night Life Experience" for a relaunch.
People can be mean and none are meaner than those on Reddit. Here. Locals quickly dubbed the new Beef Baron as a gay fag HAMC bar. Former Beef Baron owner Vincent Barletta says the city of London has abused him, and used its powers in a campaign that led to heinous fines and infractions against him and his peeler bar. The city of London is likely not pleased with the consistantly non-compliant, litigeous Barletta. The city said it acted in good faith in the performance of its duties and denied Barletta’s many dopey claims.
“The City of London has a history of bias and prejudicial treatment against the Beef Baron, Vincent Barletta, and the Barletta family generally,” The city targeted Barletta’s properties for bylaw offences says Barletta and was “improperly swayed by his association with non-parties.” That refers to the notorious Hells Angel, brother Robert.
