Mounties investigating Chinese interference in Canadian democracy

There has been one winner, the Liberal Party of Canada has benefited from Chinese attacks on its opponents.

Cops are investigating Chinese interference with three MPs; Conservatives Michael Chong and Erin O'Toole and New Democrat Jenny Kwan. 'Police stations' operated by Beijing have been shuttered amid the investigation. China has attempted to interfere in Canada's elections. Trudeau’s 'special rapporteur on foreign interference' David Johnston stepped down amid screaming cover-up allegations. He appears the stooge of vested interests out to bend Canadians over. What motivated cops? It was the screams from the Canadian public, not Liberals.

HA James T. “Jamie” Costin revisited

Its late 2017 and Salem HA sergeant at arms James T. Costin was put away after admitting to violent assaults on two men. Costin, 51, of Lynn, was sentenced to 1 1/2 to 3 1/2 years in prison for the assaults outside the Fat Cacus, a restaurant and bar on Route 1 in Lynnfield.

One of the men was left with disfiguring facial injuries. The damage, which included severing the man’s lower lip and breaking two of his teeth, was caused by a large club ring Costin was wearing.

Costin also tossed a woman down a flight of stairs.

Cops found three rings in a cigar box at Costin’s home that tested positive for human blood. The blood didn't match either victim in the Fat Cactus incident.

Girolamo Del Balso busted by Amigo - flashback June 2016

Girolamo Del Balso

On Feb 17, 2016 Girolamo Del Balso was nailed in Arizona with 62kg of cocaine destined for Canada. The brother of Francesco Del Balso was arrested in Arizona after police dog 'Amigo' sniffed out the cocaine in the vehicle he was riding in. Francesco (Chit) Del Balso, was one of six men at the table after Vito Rizzuto was arrested and later jailed in the U.S.

Girolamo Del Balso pulled 8 years.

Francesco (Chit) Del Balso

Francesco 'Chit' Del Balso had a penchant for talking on a cell phone and that provided police with evidence in Project Colisée, a major investigation into the Mafia in Montreal that produced dozens of arrests in 2006. One man involved with the Rizzutos later sarcastically referred to Francesco Del Balso, in court, as “the CEO of Bell” for how chatty he was found to be on police wiretaps. His nickname, 'Chit' is a reference to Del Balso’s fondness for gambling. He was often seen at the Montreal Casino and cops said he was laundering his crime profits. News of the arrest in Arizona came weeks after Del Balso had conditions imposed by the Parole Board of Canada on his statutory release after having reached the two-thirds mark of his 11-year sentence.

Francesco (Chit) Del Balso

The underboss was busted running a sport book through which almost $500m flowed in 11 months. Francesco del Balso ran 25 bookmaking operations in Montreal, Ottawa and Toronto. In Quebec, del Balso and partner Lorenzo Giordano operated Internet and phone sports books out of houses in Kahnawake, Montreal and Laval. Francesco Arcadi and Francesco Del Balso were released to halfway houses but following the hit on Lorenzo Giordano the pair have "been returned behind bars to ensure their own safety"

Lorenzo Giordano was gunned down in a parking lot in Laval March 1, months after being released from prison to a halfway house.

In this wiretap clip, Chit Del Balso was checking in with boss Vito Rizzuto. Chit had earlier been given the task of recovering the briefcase that was in the back of businessman Terry Pomerantz's Cadillac Escalade after it was stolen. Vito's men easily recover the Cadillac — but the briefcase is no longer inside. Vito isn't pleased; Chit is sent back out to investigate.

Rocco Sollecito

Over a decade ago, Rocco Sollecito was part of a group of six men who seemed untouchable. The six had been chosen to take charge of the Mafia in Montreal while its leader, Vito Rizzuto, was incarcerated in the United States. Following Rocco Sollecito’s brazen killing on May 30, 2016 only two of those six men remain alive and both were recently returned to federal penitentiaries out of concerns for their safety.

The gunman opened fire into the passenger-side window of Sollecito’s BMW sport utility vehicle at a stop sign.

Manish Sharma kills flagger - 'does' nothing

Months after a flagger was killed by a concrete truck on a Burnaby construction site, WorkSafeBC stopped work at the same site three times in a month because of unsafe traffic control. Owner of Square Nine Developments Inc. Manish Sharma was fined $2,500 for violations from the flagger’s death and another $2,500 for the many violations that followed it.

Manish Sharma is a man who gives no fuk about site safety and the lives of those working for him, nor adhering to laws protecting those lives. Manish Sharma refuses to comment on his negligence.

Paul Reid

The 'man' directly responsible is site superintendent Paul Reid. It would ultimately be his responsibility, even to resign if pushed. He needs ethics for that. Manish Sharma and his peons have blood on their hands. Most would find that troubling. Not this group. info@squarenine.ca

StateView Homes - Taurasi brothers accused of fraud - update

Ontario home developer StateView Homes is facing allegations from TD bank that it orchestrated a year long fraud totalling over $37m. TD Bank filed a lawsuit against brothers Carlo and Dino Taurasi, alleging they carried out a massive cheque-kiting scheme.

The Ontario Superior Court approved the sale of various assets of Stateview Homes. It owes over $350m to various creditors. Across eight projects, the South Asian Taurasi brothers stole over $77m in deposits of 765 buyers.

Homebuyers who paid deposits may be eligible for deposit protection from Tarion Warranty Corporation, which provides deposit insurance and administers Ontario’s new home warranty program. For homes far from completion that may not come to pass. Purchase contracts may be extinguished in creditor proceedings. The lawsuit named 25 associated corporations, five directors of those companies and StateView's former CFO Daniel Ciccone.

Fraudsters wrote thousands of bad cheques for large sums from both corporate and personal accounts at other banks.

Dino Taurasi, President

Scammers would cash the cheques into TD accounts and TD would conditionally release the money before the cheque cleared. Crooks would quickly withdraw the funds and then cancel the cheque to prevent the money from actually being transferred to the TD account. A court document indicates the lawsuit was filed to cement a settlement. In the proposed settlement, until the money is repaid, TD plans to hold 31 properties including at least three of StateView's pre-construction projects.

Carlo Taurasi, CEO & President

Three other lenders are also suing the brothers to get back nearly $200m they loaned StateView. Lenders KingSett Mortgage Corporation and Dorr Capital Corporation allege that StateView has not paid for development charges and permits, or contractors for one project, and has tried to sell another without the lenders' consent. StateView has some 1,400 homes planned across the GTA, many of which have already been sold with deposits paid.

Cocaine disguised as almond syrup

Cocaine worth tens of millions of shekels was seized after it was smuggled into Israel inside bottles of almond syrup. Drugs came from South America concealed inside some 180 bottles of syrup with a total volume of 140 liters. Dissolving cocaine in liquids makes it harder to detect the drug by sniffer dogs or scanners.

Queen of Kanesatake Sharon Simon home raided by cops

Sharon Simon was arrested in Project Cleopatra, and was the ringleader of the smuggling plot.

The Queen of Kanesatake Sharon Simon, 65, underwent interrogation by cops from the Sûreté du Québec. Up to 100 SQ cops searched four places on the reservation: Sharon Simon’s main residence, her new casino, her gas station and her “potty shack”. It's said to be about drugs. In 2018 the Queen of Kanesatake was fined $12k and $35k for contraband tobacco and pot production. She bought 50 months in the pen after pleading guilty to gangsterism, drug trafficking and possession of a prohibited weapon in 2007. In December 2018 HA heavyweight Martin Robert, 44, and Simon's daughter Annie Arbic, 32, were married at Montreal’s Windsor Ballrooms. 300 guests included the top levels of Montreal organized crime.

Simon helped her daughter Annie Arbic launder about $4m between January and June 2006. Simon also helped Serge Bourret, 59, launder $2m in drug money. Bourret was sentenced to a three-year prison term. Her luxury home was completely destroyed in 2020 in a case of arson.

1,000 pounds of cocaine found on Bolivian flag airliner

In February, Spanish cops landed just over 1,000 pounds of cocaine on a commercial flight at Madrid–Barajas Airport. During the investigation, members of Bolivia’s owned-state airline and other government agencies colluded with drug traffickers. This week, the Bolivian government acknowledged drug cartel infiltration of the state’s airline. There were multiple attempts to obstruct the police investigation after the drugs were discovered in Madrid. A request for surveillance photos from when the plane was loaded led to the discovery that all photos were deleted. Eventually, images were found showing two BoA cargo handlers breaking the seal on a shipping container and adding the 12 boxes of cocaine. Corruption extended to the highest levels.

The cargo handlers, the shipping company’s owner, and the cop in charge of airport security have been arrested, with President Arce stating that there will be more arrests.

Walt Nauta indictment a warning to TrumpWorld

The DoJ has indicted Trump's 'coke aide' Walt Nauta. When Trump pressed a button on his Presidential desk, it would be Nauta rushing to keep him supplied with diet coke. One of the jobs of Trump’s gofer was to move cardboard boxes. Nauta was a key player in continously moving boxes to keep them from being seized by feds. Apparently he lied to investigators, sealing his fate. Nauta is swiftly finding out he is a criminal. Trump staffers at Mar-a-Lago even rehearsed the moving of boxes, and leader was Walt Nauta.

Nauta was busy. Trump stored boxes of classified documents in various locations at Mar-a-Lago, including an office space, his bedroom, a storage room, a bathroom, a ballroom and even in the shower. By going after the lowest, ALL in Trump's orbit will feel the heat. Trump meanwhile is facing a whooping 37 felony charges, many of which call for jail time on conviction.
