 Operation Hoarfrost was to tackle the rise in gang crime in Sweden. A year later and the situation is out of control. | Swedish cops are pleading for resources as migrant gangs terrorize the country. Last year Sweden's bomb squad was called out more than 250 times, a level unseen anywhere in Europe. The situation escalated last November when a 15-year-old was killed in a blast. |  |
 | "These criminal clans have a different culture that makes them difficult to tackle with normal police methods." In Aug, 20 gangsters were busted when cops responded to an incident in Gothenburg that saw a group close roads as they looked for rivals. "Two years ago, if people linked immigration to crime, they would be accused of being racist. But the paradigm is shifting." |  At least 40 migrant gangs had been identified and are operating in Sweden. |
 | 49-year-old Vachon and high profile HA Jean Richard Larivière were arrested on July 6, after beating a restaurant owner when he tried to stop selling the pair booze. Sylvain Vachon is François's older brother. Sylvain Vachon is believed to be one of the most influential members of the club in Quebec. The two drunk bikers reportedly weren't taking any fluff from the cops when they showed up to deal with them. That earned Larivière ANOTHER night in the drunk tank. Larivière has developed a long history of being unable to control his boorish behaviour when drunk in public. |  |
 Martin “the Viper” Foley said the paintings are in Ireland. | Some of the most precious paintings in the world were stolen from a gallery in Boston 30 years ago.

 'The Concert' by Vermeer is the most valuable painting at over $200m. | $500m of art, including Rembrandt’s 'Storm on the Sea of Galilee' was stolen from the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in March 1990. The Gardner heist was carried out by two men dressed in police uniforms who overpowered a security guard who had buzzed them in. The museum initially offered a reward of $5m. In 2017 this was doubled to $10m with an expiration date set to the end of the year. |  |
 'A Lady and Gentleman in Black' by Rembrandt, painted in 1633. | 30 years after the heist, the empty frames still hang in the Gardner Museum. 'Chez Tortoni' by Manet. |  |
 | Shane Bowden, 48, was shot dead in the front seat of his BMW in an assassination outside his Gold Coast home. The notorious bikie had spent the past 25 years with the Finks and then Mongols. Cops believe the Mongols, whom he departed from in July, are likely responsible for his exit from this world. Just a few months before his murder Bowden was signing off his jalhouse letters: 'Mongols forever, forever Mongols'. He decided to rejoin the Finks, and that likely sealed his fate. "You live by the sword, you die by the sword," said cops. |  |
In 2006 Bowden was a key figure in the 'Ballroom Blitz', a wild brawl at a kickboxing event on the Gold Coast that saw HA bikie Christopher Wayne Hudson shot twice.  |
 | Bernard Khouri is a triple murderer who killed Swedish football star Eddie Moussa. From behind bars Khouri ordered a family member to “send people” after a book author. The jailhouse threat was taken seriously. Khouri was the head of a criminal group based in the Swedish city of Södertälje. He and his gang are Christian Assyrians, refugees from Syria, Iraq and Lebanon. |  Footballer Eddie Moussa was murdered by Khouri. |
 | As a result of the Iraq war, a wave of Christian refugees arrived in Södertälje. The housing shortage created a criminal opportunity and Khouri's gang stepped up. Illegally subletting of social housing exploded with 10 sleeping to a bedroom. Khouri and his crew were there to lend money and make sure people paid their rent on time. The first murder was part of a turf war between rival gangs. A few months later, the murdered man's brothers Yaacoub and Eddie Moussa, the footballer, were slaughtered at the same sports centre. Two gunmen stormed the building with a Kalashnikov and a pistol. Yaacoub Moussa was shot 14 times, Eddie Moussa 17. |  |

 Raids involved 750 police officers across Ireland, the UK and Spain, as well as follow-up raids in Belgium, Cyprus, Dubai, South Africa and Brazil. | It has been revealed that the catalogue of failures by Spanish authorities that gave the Kinahan gang free rein was no accident. The mob was always one step ahead of the Spanish cops and knew when they were moving in. The answer lies in the €5,000 a month paid to two senior Spanish officers. The multinational operation in 2010 that saw around 30 cartel associates arrested in Spain, Ireland and the UK in 2010 left the boss and his sons eventually untouched. The number of dropped charges, after being dragged out for years, is mountainous. |  Daniel Kinahan |
 | The boss's use a fraudulent passport came back to haunt him last week after he was charged with passport fraud by Spanish police. It was a common tactic to use the identities of homeless people to obtain passports. Cops suspect Kinahan used it for a few months before obtaining another. The man who once ran a €1b drug empire before passing control to his eldest son Daniel is now an ageing gangster who is largely retired. At present, the ‘Dapper Don’ remains in Dubai with his two sons, although many gangsters are said to be abandoning Dubai, including the Kinahans. |  |
 | Australian Joshua Luke Blottin, 31, is currently plugging his e-book which provides a step-by-step guide to “get the body you want while juggling full-time work and a family.” It turns out his look comes from vials of testosterone and steroid tablets, which he was busted with. |  |
 | $5m is offered for info leading to the arrest of former Venezuelan official Samark López. López served as the frontman for Tareck El Aissami, ally of President Nicolás Maduro. The U.S. has a $15m bounty for him. There are rewards of $10m for Diosdado Cabello, Hugo Carvajal, and El Aissmai. |
 | In May 2019, the Dominican Republic raided an $18m mansion owned by López and El Aissami. Cops seized $25k and 18k euros along with three SUVs, luxury watches and jewelry. |  |
 | Carlos Almada Castrillo was head of Cártel Jalisco Nueva Generación operations in Guadalajara, and could have been a key witness for U.S. prosecutors. But he was found hanging in a Mexican jail cell in March. Experts say the 27-year-old's death is likely a murder to prevent him from testifying in the U.S. "El Chicken" is one of three high-ranking members of CJNG to die before officials could secure their extraditions to the U.S. CJNG has an estimated 5,000 members and is operating in at least 35 states and Puerto Rico. |  |
 Rubén Oseguera González -'Menchito' | Almada grew up with the cartel leader's son, Rubén Oseguera González, and remained part of his inner circle. Menchito stood to inherit control of the cartel but was arrested in Mexico in 2017 and sits in a U.S. jail cell awaiting trial. Mexican officials announced Almada's arrest, but they have said nothing of his death. It remains 'under investigation'. Rubén Oseguera Cervantes, aka El Mencho, is thought to have ordered the killing. Eleno Madrigal Virrueta, "El 20," was found dead in August 2019 inside a Mexican jail cell, sharing the fate of Adrián Gómez Meza. |  |
 | In publicity photos Salvatore Ponzo wears polo shirts and baseball caps emblazoned with the logo of his company. It was a different look from Ponzo when he was executed in May 2018.  |
 | Ponzo's "Tierra Nuestra Latina" exported pineapples and other fruit and vegetables to Europe. Salvatore Ponzo was also a major cocaine trafficker, and his murder resulted from a drug deal gone bad. An Italian court convicted Ponzo’s father and business partner of using their fruit company to traffick cocaine. The killing was payback for a missing shipment Ponzo’s partners suspected him of stealing. |  |
 After time served he has six years to go. | Mohammad Shakil Khan, 39, is an IS member who joined the Wolfpack gang alliance after it formed in 2010. Project Riverbank resulted in the arrest of 13 who all faced multiple drug trafficking and possession charges.  |  Kingpin Khan was sentenced to nine years in prison. |
