Estonian hitman Imre Arakas - I am not a criminal

Estonian hitman Imre Arakas gave evidence via video link from prison to a murder trial in Lithuanian last year. He is charged with killing a drug dealer. The 63 year old is serving a 6.5 year sentence over a plot to murder James ‘Mago’ Gately, part of the Kinahan-Hutch feud. Gately was a prime target for the Kinahan faction with a €500k bounty on his head. Gately was believed to be involved in the Regency Hotel attack. Arakas flew into Dublin from Spain in April, 2017 to kill Gately but was busted by gardai before he got his chance. When the Arakas plot was foiled, the cartel wasted no time in arranging another. 'Mr Flashy' assassin Caolan Smyth was caged for 20 years for his attempted hit of Gately.

Caolan Smyth was arrested after the attack on James 'Mago' Gately who was shot five times in 2017 but survived. 4 of the 5 shots hit a bulletproof vest he was wearing. Seven men with links to the Kinahan cartel are now behind bars for plots to kill Gately.

British Virgin Islands premier busted for cocaine in US sting - update III

Legislators voted to remove disgraced premier Andrew Fahie and install his former deputy, Natalio Wheatley. This came as Fahie was granted $500k bail in Miami, a decision that was immediately appealed. Andrew Fahie had demanded his immediate release from US custody, claiming he is immune from prosecution on drug trafficking charges because he is an elected, constitutional head of government.

Andrew Fahie, the premier of the British Virgin Islands, was busted in a sting in Miami on charges of conspiring to import cocaine and money laundering.

Britain is poised to impose a form of direct rule over the British Virgin Islands after the territory’s premier was arrested. Hours before his court appearance in Miami, a commission of inquiry – launched in 2021 – reported on widespread abuses, including millions disappearing. The commission recommended that the territory have its constitution suspended, its elected government dissolved and be ruled from London.

Oleanvine Maynard

Oleanvine Maynard, the manager director of the port authority, and her son Kadeem were also detained.

“Oh, no no no, not my first rodeo at all, NOT, MY FIRST RODEO, AT ALL,” Fahie can be heard laughing in a recording.

Mob loan shark charges 'a misunderstanding' - lawyer

Convicted Springfield mob loan shark Rex Cunningham, 71, is a long time associate of the Genovese crime family. He pleaded not guilty to threatening to kill a man over a $600 debt to Cunningham’s girlfriend. Cunningham is also charged with extortion and witness intimidation. His lawyer describes the charges as a 'misunderstanding'. Cunningham was sunk when the victim recorded the exchange on his cell phone: “I’m Tammy’s husband. Good to meet you, now let’s get a few things straight here. You stop being a fucking wise guy. You be disrespectful to these girls again I’ll break every bone in your fucking body. You call the cops, you call whoever the fuck you want and that’s what’s going to happen to you. Don’t say a word. I’ll take your fucking head off right here.”

Cunningham spent 17 years in federal prison for breaking a man’s arm in the early 1990s over a loan shark debt. Recently he served a year in jail for running a loan sharking and illegal gaming ring out of two Irish bars he operated.

ex-B.C. lawyer Fred Sharp charged by SEC, FBI - $52.9m

Five years after he was exposed as a major Canadian player in the "Panama Papers" offshore finance scandal, Fred Sharp is now facing prosecution in the US. He had his assets frozen by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and has an arrest warrant outstanding. The offshore shell facilitator was handed a US$52.9m judgment for fraud. Sharp nicknamed himself "Bond". He is one of six BC residents charged with violating anti-fraud provisions of the U.S. Securities Act. Zhiying Gasarch, Courtney Kelln, Mike Veldhuis, Jackson Friesen, Paul Sexton and Avtar Singh Dhillon are the others.

Vancouver doctor turned stock promoter Avtar Dhillon was busted for his involvement in a $1 billion international stock fraud. In August 2021 he was arrested in Long Beach in his $12m, 9,300-square-foot, home.

In 2011, Dhillon founded pharmaceutical company Vitality Biopharma Inc. Trading in Vitality was halted in November 2018. He stepped down as the chairman, but not before the "Sharp Group" booked $16.6m in ill gained profits ... including $2.6m to Dhillon. Dhillon concealed ownership of Arch Therapeutics and OncoSec Medical Inc. Both were microcap biotechnology companies he chaired between March 2011 and April 2020.

Dhillon made false representations for millions of beneficially owned shares by putting them in two shell companies. They then reportedly had another law firm provide a legal opinion to a broker that the shares could be deposited into a brokerage account without trading restrictions.

Sharp's company, Corporate House, created more than 1,200 corporate entities, making him the most significant Canadian player in the Panama Papers leak. Sharp and his cohorts could face up to 20 years in prison, plus five years for the conspiracy charges. https://www.sec.gov/litigation/complaints/2021/comp-pr2021-148.pdf

‘Jack-in-the-box’ dooms Russian tanks - Update

Russian tank turrets get blown off with regularity and the reason is a design flaw known as the “jack-in-the-box”. The fault is related to the way Russian tanks hold and load ammunition. In these tanks, including the T-72, shells are all placed in an autoloading ring. When an enemy shot hits, the ring of ammunition “cooks off” and ignites a chain reaction, blasting the turret off the tank’s hull and vapourizing the tankers. With up to 40 shells if fully loaded, the Russian tanks will blow their tops with extreme gusto every time.

The blogsite ORYX lists Russian APC losses at 3340, of which 1803 have been destroyed, 59 damaged, 266 abandoned and 1212 captured. The site lists 600 Russian tanks with 312 destroyed, 17 damaged, 49 abandoned, and 222 captured. As many as 25,000 Russian soldiers have been killed so far, roughly 1 man in 4 of the invading army.

Daniel Kinahan 'running out of road' in race to escape UAE - update

Sky Sports presenter Matthew Macklin was banned from boarding a flight to the US. The former boxing world title contender was due to fly to Las Vegas. His links to Kinahan mean he is now persona non gratia in the United States. Macklin's ties to Daniel Kinahan are extensive. He initially co-founded MTK boxing management in 2012 with the Irishman, who once described Macklin as his best friend.

Measures announced by Dubai mirror American sanctions, which means nobody in the kingdom can do business with them. Technically, not even supermarkets can serve them. UAE authorities no longer want the traffickers from the Kinahan Cartel in their country. It is increasingly likely they will be arrested and extradited to Ireland to face charges. A second possibility is that the UAE will hand the men over to the US. Its said the $5m rewards have resulted in an avalanch of rats and new material for cops to pursue. The Kinahans will need to act quickly ... the prospect of spending the rest of their lives at Florence ADMAX is growing.

Captagon trade on the rise

Captagon is one of several brand names for the drug compound fenethylline hydrochloride. Captagon was the trade name of the drug when it was initially patented in Germany in the early 1960s. It was used to treat attention deficit and narcolepsy. By the 1980's the U.S. government declared it a controlled substance with no accepted medical use. Manufacturing of the drug ceased in the developed world. Trade in Captagon in the Middle East grew exponentially in 2021 to top $5b. Syria is the main producer and Saudi Arabia the main consumer. The market value of the Captagon produced in Syria far outstrips legal exports and has resulted in the country being branded a narco state.

Captagon has so far only been consumed on a very small scale in Europe but that has the potential to change. Sold for less than a dollar in parts of Syria to users, the same tablet can fetch more than $20 in Saudi Arabia. Captagon is a highly addictive amphetamine.
