Hitman/rat reveals Mafia war

Vittorio (Victor) Mirachi

The informant testified earlier that he shot brothers Vincenzo and Giuseppe Falduto. He also admits killing Rocco Sollecito. Orders came from leaders within the Calabrian side of the Montreal Mafia. They sought to eliminate the Sicilians. Salvatore and Andrea Scoppa, (dead) and Vittorio Mirachi were the leaders of the Calabrian side. Mirachi pleaded guilty to the conspiracy to kill Salvatore Montagna with Raynald Desjardins.

In text messages, the hit man claimed to have information of the deaths of Vincenzo Spagnolo and Lorenzo Giordano, as well as plots to kill Francesco Del Balso. All are with the Sicilian side. The unnamed rat has a problem with the Hells Angels ... “I also wanted to have some Hells Angels arrested and to (let the SQ know) there was a big mole in their building. I don’t know who the big mole was, but there was a big mole."

“The Sicilians are with the Hells Angels. The Calabrians and the Sicilians are at peace now. There doesn't seem to be a war. Are there any remaining conflicts that will need to be resolved? Perhaps. But there is nothing that tells us that,” explains Chief Inspector Benoit Dubé.

Carlos Luis Revete - El Koki

Carlos Luis Revete

For the 300,000 residents of Cota 905, a collection of houses by a freeway in the centre of Caracas, the most powerful man in Venezuela is not President Maduro. It is “El Koki”, 43, a gang leader. Since 2015 he has turned the slum into his private fiefdom, complete with a 200 man army.

El Koki gunmen had been battling Venezuelan security forces since his takeover of the neighboring La Vega district in late 2020. Most recently cops have invaded Cota 905, putting El Koki on the run while pitched gun battles rage between police and a collection of gangs. Warfare on the streets is a sure sign President Nicolas Maduro is losing control of the country.

Operations of Colombian narcotrafficking groups in Venezuelan territory is well known. The Clan del Golfo, Los Pelusos, Meta Block, and Libertadores del Vichada Block control large swaths of Venezuelan territory, not the dictatorship.

Venezuela says it will make a million-to-1 change in its currency, eliminating six zeros from prices in the local currency as hyperinflation plagues the country. The new 100 bolivar bill will be the highest denomination. It is equivalent to 100,000,000 of the current bolivar. This is the third adjustment since socialist leaders began governing Venezuela. Venezuela is in its sixth year of recession.

Cocaine floods Europe

Since cocaine production began climbing in 2013, it has more than doubled.

Europe is awash with cocaine and faces a surge of abuse as Colombia produces record amounts with increasing purity. Experts say importers are stockpiling huge quantities, alarmed by threats to supply lines due to Covid lockdowns. Supply is up, but so is demand, leaving prices stable.

Europe is a far more attractive prospect than the US. Prices are significantly higher, and the risks are much lower. A kilo of cocaine in the US is worth up to $28k wholesale. That same kilo is worth around $40k and might be as much as nearly $80k in different parts of Europe.
