Dutch Schultz

Dutch Schultz (Arthur Flegenheimer) was a New York City Jewish gangster who made his fortune in organized crime-related activities such as bootlegging, loan sharking and the numbers racket.

Along with other rackets, Schultz began extorting New York restaurant owners and workers. Those gangsters who skimmed the take did not last long. "Dutch Schultz was ugly; he had been drinking and suddenly he had his gun out. "Schultz wore his pistol under his vest, tucked inside his pants, right against his belly. One jerk at his vest and he had it in his hand.
All in the same quick motion he swung it up, stuck it in Jules Martin's mouth and pulled the trigger. It was as simple and undramatic as that—just one quick motion of the hand. Dutch Schultz did that murder just as casually as if he were picking his teeth.” When Davis later read a newspaper story about Martin's murder, he found out the body was found in a snow bank with a dozen stab wounds. When Davis asked Schultz, the boss dead-panned, "I cut his heart out."
At the time of the Martin killing, Schultz was fighting a tax evasion case: U.S. Attorney Thomas Dewey had set his sights on Schultz. Schultz was convicted of the charges, but they were overturned.
Schultz went before the Mafia Commission and asked permission to kill Dewey. All were against it because the full weight of the law would come down on them. Schultz was furious at the outcome of the vote; he accused the Commission of trying to steal his rackets and "feed him to the law." After Schultz left in a seething rage, the Commission decided to kill him. Albert Anastasia sent Jewish mobster Louis Buchalter to kill Schultz.

Bonanno boss Joseph Bonanno thought the idea was "insane."

Buchalter died in the electric chair at Sing Sing on March 4, 1944.
At 10:15 p.m. on October 23, 1935, Schultz was shot multiple times at the Palace Chophouse at 12 East Park Street in Newark, New Jersey. Doctors performed surgery but were unaware of the extent of damage done to his abdominal organs by a ricocheting bullet.

They were also unaware that the gunmen had intentionally used rust-coated bullets in an attempt to give Schultz a fatal bloodstream infection (septicemia) should he survive the gunshot. Schultz lingered for 22 hours before dying of peritonitis. Two bodyguards and Schultz's accountant were also killed.

Cops recorded the gangster's rambling last words as he died of peritonitis caused by a rust-coated bullet.
"Oh, mamma, mamma, please don't tear; don't rip..."
"Mother is the best bet and don't let Satan draw you too fast."
"I will be checked and double-checked and please pull for me."
"I can't come; express office was closed."
"Please crack down on the Chinaman's friends and Hitler's commander."
"These native children make this and sell you the joint."
"You can play jacks, and girls do that with a soft ball and do tricks with it."

"Who shot me? No one."
Bernard 'Lulu' Rosenkrantz was Schultz's chauffeur and bodyguard. He was shot at the Palace Chophouse moments after Schultz was shot. He died two days later in hospital. He produced a map before dying. Though estimated to be worth over $7m ($140m in 2020 dollars) when he died, no trace of Dutch Schultz's wealth was found. Its thought Schultz hid his treasure in a buried safe somewhere in the Catskill Mountain range. The story says he stashed away his fortune somewhere around Phoenicia, New York. When Schultz was gunned down in 1935, the location of his loot died with him.
Otto "Abbadabba" Berman was accountant and financial advisor to gangster Dutch Schultz. He is known for coining the phrase "Nothing personal, it is just business." He died in a hail of gunfire.

The Angelo Bruno hit

Angelo Bruno, head of the Philadelphia crime family, was killed in March 1980 via a shotgun blast to the back of the head. Bruno’s consigliere, Antonio Caponigro was upset that Bruno was limiting involvement in drugs, cutting Caponigro off from profits. Caponigro ordered a hit on Bruno.
Since the hit hadn’t been authorized by the Commission, Caponigro had to be punished for his disrespect. Betrayed by his friend and co-conspirator, Frank Tieri, Caponigro was shot by Joe 'Mad Dog' Sullivan while parked outside his Philadelphia home. His body was later found in the trunk of a car in the South Bronx with 14 bullet and knife wounds and $300 stuffed into his mouth and anus to symbolize his greed.

Claudia Iacono killing enters new territory for Montreal mafia - update II

Montreal police announced the arrest of a second man, 30, in connection with the May killing of Claudia Iacono. He was arrested in Toronto on Monday and will be charged with first-degree murder. Cops said they believe the second suspect planned the killing and that Clarke was the gunman.
Joel Richard Clarke, 28, has been arrested in the shooting death of Claudia Iacono. He was arrested on a charge of first-degree murder for the May 16 killing. Iacono, 39, was shot in her car close to the hair salon she ran on Jean-Talon St. W. in Montreal’s Côte-des-Neiges district. Police arrived at the scene to find Iacono in her car. It collided with a building and was still running. Claudia Iacono was married to Antonio Gallo, the son of Moreno Gallo. She was not connected to crime while her husband and brother-in-law absolutely are. The killing is seen as a message to them. The mafia previously did not target wives. That line has been crossed.

Joel Clarke was nailed in May for dealing purple fentanyl, cocaine and Percocet, and had a semi-automatic pistol, pistol magazines, and cash seized. Bianca Brown, 26, was busted with him.
Witnesses said that a gunman waited for Iacono to enter the parking lot before shooting her five times at point blank range. Montreal cops arrived to find Iacono with gunshot wounds inside her car. She was declared dead at the scene. The 39-year-old was a mother of three children.
Claudia Iacono, a Montreal salon owner and the daughter-in-law of Moreno Gallo, was executed in a Côte-des-Neiges parking lot. Moreno Gallo was closely tied to the Montreal mafia. The Calabrian mobster was deported from Canada for serious criminality in 2012. He was whacked in Mexico in 2013.

Top aide to Doug Ford, Amin Massoudi and cabinet minister Kaleed Rasheed went on an all expenses paid jaunt to Vegas in 2020 with developer Shakir Rehmatullah. The three men are described as long-term best buddies.   In February 2020, Massoudi was Ford’s principal secretary. Rasheed was Mississauga East—Cooksville MPP and deputy whip. Since 2020, Rehmatullah’s Flato Developments, and his other companies, has received at least five minister’s zoning orders (MZOs) to fast-track development. Rehmatullah attended Ford's daughter's wedding on Sept. 25, 2022. Two days later, Rehmatullah's lawyers emailed Ryan Amato seeking the removal of three parcels of his land in York Region. They were taken out of the Greenbelt.

DeGasperis brothers = Greenbelt bandits - update

"No one had preferential treatment," Doug Ford lied during a press dog and pony show. The Auditor General says exactly the opposite and that is a much better source than a clearly lying piece of sweating dog shit. The DeGasperis brothers, principals of Tacc, have been generous donors to Ford and the Tories and those bribes were rewarded.
The day after the dinner with barking K9 Ryan Amato September 15, Green Lane Bathurst LP (Rice Group) finalized purchasing land it wanted out of the greenbelt for $80m.
See ----->https://www.auditor.on.ca/en/content/specialreports/specialreports/Greenbelt_en.pdf
The biggest and most valuable land which Ford gifted to his developer friends includes around 1,900 hectares of mostly farmland in and around the Duffins Rouge Agricultural Preserve (DRAP) in north Pickering. In 2022 the CBC identified 28 properties in the sensitive DRAP, covering a total of 718 hectares, that are owned by seven different holding companies controlled by the DeGasperis brothers. Brothers Silvio, Carlo and Michael DeGasperis have had big plans for the DRAP for many years. Four properties bought after the Greenbelt's creation include two purchased together for $1.7m in 2016 and two others bought separately in 2020 for $7.9m and $3.5m. The DeGasperis founded the Tacc Group of companies, which includes Tacc Developments, Tacc Construction, Arista Homes, Opus Homes and Decast Ltd., among others. The brothers and their companies are prolific political contributors to the Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario and Doug Ford. Tacc companies had direct access to barking dog Ryan Amato and instructed him which properties to remove from the Greenbelt. He eagerly complied after being given 'packages' at a dinner meeting.

8,000 kg cocaine seizure at Port of Rotterdam


Fernando Villavicencio was known for speaking out against drug cartels and corruption in Ecuador.
Customs in Rotterdam have confiscated more than 8,000 kg (17,600 pounds) of cocaine, the largest seizure of the drug in the Netherlands. Drugs had an estimated street value of 600m million euros. ($668m USD) No arrests have been made. The haul doubles the previous cocaine record. Prosecutors said the drugs were discovered on July 13 hidden in a container of bananas from Ecuador. Rotterdam and the Belgian port of Antwerp are the main gateways for cocaine into Europe. The bust came a day after presidential candidate Fernando Villavicencio, a member of Ecuador's national assembly, was executed at a campaign rally.

Holland HA Lysander de Ruijter revisited - update II

Former Hells Angels leader Lysander de Ruiter, 41, was arrested in his cell last week in the prison in Heerhugowaard. It concerns offenses of the MC Hardliners, of which he is leader and founder.
Last year Lysander de Ruijter was plucked from Zaanstad prison and sent to another, unnamed facility. Lysander de Ruijter was the con in charge at Zaanstad prison. Called the Zaanstad Cartel, the biker's network includes Ridouan Taghi.

Earlier, members of de Ruijter's Hardliners MC were charged with kidnapping and extortion. The Netherlands banned the Hells Angels. The Hells Angels clone club hasn't been banned, yet. Prosecutors pointed out that former members of the infamous motorcycle clubs Caloh Wagoh and No Surrender have joined the clearly HA connected Hardliners MC.

Something is up with Lysander de Ruijter and/or Ridouan Taghi.
Things didn't end well in the trial for biker boss Lysander de Ruijter. He was put away in mid-2018 for 14 years. He organized a new club from behind bars, the Hardliners. When we left Lysander de Ruijter in 2016 he had been sentenced by a court in Alkmaar to 2.5 years in prison. He was found guilty of illegal firearm possession and assault. It involved an arsenal of weapons  including a missile launcher, grenades, and a machine gun.

Lysander de Ruijter
The Explosive Ordnance Disposal team had to be called in to defuse the grenade and rocket launcher. The latest for Lysander de Ruijter and his Haarlem Hells Angels is being accused of participating in a criminal organization. Charges include coercion and extortion, mistreatment, arson, threats, overt violence, firearm possession, drug trafficking, cannabis cultivation and money laundering.

Justin Primmer - "I hate the Hells Angels" - Desiree’s Ride

In May 2013, Desiree Gallagher, 22, met Justin Primmer and went to his apartment. He beat her and she fell seven floors from his balcony, causing severe injuries that ended her life. Primmer was convicted of assault causing bodily harm. Primmer was labelled a dangerous offender in 2017. He now boasts the very rare "dangerous offender" tag that carries an indefinite jail sentence. He had his appeal denied by Ontario’s highest court. He shows “persistent aggressive behaviour and substantial indifference”. Primmer was closely associated with the Hells Angels when he was out of jail and amassed a long record for violence. His victims confronted him again Aug. 2 at the Bath federal penitentiary near Kingston. Parole hearings are held every 2 years. Justin Primmer was again denied parole.
Desiree Gallagher died in 2015.

Justin Primmer has no guilt or remorse.
Justin Primmer has anti-social personality disorder. Sociopathy is a person who shows no regard for right and wrong and ignores the rights and feelings of others. People with sociopathy antagonize, manipulate or treat others harshly, with cruelty or with callous indifference.

All the psychiatrists who assessed Primmer said he was a high risk to re-offend. All considered him dangerous.
Justin Primmer was pictured at the London Hells Angels clubhouse, often wearing HA support gear. With him were high-ranking members of the biker hierarchy, including president Rob 'Teflon Biker' Barletta and sergeant-at-arms Dave 'The Hammer' MacDonald. In several photos, bikers have an arm around Primmer’s shoulders. HAMC will often decline to have anyone touch them unless they’re a close associate of the club.

Desiree Gallagher's mother turned her attention to a “fun-filled day” of raising funds. The Desiree’s Ride event on Aug. 19 will be the eighth annual event, after missing two years due to COVID-19. Real motorcycle riders will tour down to Hoover’s Marina in Nanticoke and then back to the Knights of Columbus hall where, around 3 p.m., riders and non-riders are invited to a barbecue with a live band and prizes. Last year the event raised about $5,200 for victims of crime. Give generously.
