Danbrook One offense in Langford - 'tear it down' - DB Services

Residents of Ridgeview Place — formerly Danbrook One — are fleeing the structure after the building’s owner issued an emergency evacuation, deeming the 11-storey, 90-unit building unsafe due to structural issues. It’s the second time in four years the tower has been flagged as unsafe by Engineers and Geoscientists of B.C. and evacuated over safety concerns. Design and structural flaws were found in 2019 months after the building was finished and occupied. The City of Langford got a stamp of approval from two engineers that it was safe, so an occupancy permit was reissued a year ago. Now those engineers are under investigation. The plans for the building were originally stolen from Leon Plett of RJC Engineers and improperly 'adapted' by builder DB Services.

28 serious structural concerns were revealed by Read Jones Christoffersen Limited Consulting Engineers.

The long term former mayor of Langford, Stew Young accepted no responsibility. “I don’t want to be like everybody else,” Young says. “At the end, the job is to understand what the public wants and get it done.” See ----->DB Services - criminal builder See ----->Langford Mayor Stew Young

Caged Martino Caputo to pay child support

Convicted underworld killer Martino Caputo, 49, who fathered a child while behind bars, has been ordered to pay $3,748 in monthly child support. He is serving out a life prison term after killing Johnny Raposo in 2017. Caputo married and artificially impregnated Robyn Amy Louise Hohmeier while serving his first-degree murder sentence in Collins Bay Institution. He gave her lavish gifts from prison, including multiple pieces of Cartier jewelry, two SUVs, a custom wedding band appraised at $88k, a Versace scarf and a Rolex watch worth $20k.

Caputo argued he is not a bookie while in prison. “There is no ‘vig’ involved in his activities,” the judge quotes his lawyer as saying, referring to the “vigorish” — the fee a bookmaker or sportsbook charges a bettor for placing a wager. “He participates in legal betting with other inmates at Collins Bay. The inmates use the odds from the TV station and have friends or family on the outside transfer money into and out of their bank accounts.” See ----->Little Italy execution in photos See ----->Guilty on all counts - Little Italy shooting killers found guilty

Porchetta Pizza's thin crust of respectability - Antonio Madafferi

When the founder of the La Porchetta pizza chain in Australia, Rocco 'Rocky' Pantaleo was subjected to extortion from Melbourne mafia gangster Alphonse Gangitano, he could have paid. It was the mid 1990s and the 'Black Prince of Lygon Street' was making threats if he wasn't paid off. Pantaleo refused and turned to Francesco 'Mad Frank' Madafferi, brother of Antonio Madafferi. Gangitano was warned off as he was outranked. In 1998, he was gunned down. Rocco Pantaleo would die in a road crash in 2020. It was ruled an accident. Today, the La Porchetta brand, which operates in New Zealand and across Australia, has 38 outlets. Behind the corporate sign is La Porchetta Holdings Pty Ltd, which has been part-owned since 2010 by investment companies controlled by families of the 'Honoured Society'.

Prominent among owners of La Porchetta Holdings Pty Ltd is Antonio 'Tony' Madafferi. A Madafferi company owns 5% in La Porchetta Holdings Pty. The same-sized stake is held by the family of Madafferi's brother, Francesco, the man who warned off Gangitano. Francesco Madafferi was busted for drug trafficking. His group was responsible for what was then the world's largest ecstasy bust in 2007, more than four tonnes of pills worth A$440m that were smuggled inside cans of tomatoes. At last report, in mid 2021, he was being prepared for deportation to Italy.

Another co-owner linked to the Honoured Society is Michael Manariti, who was sentenced to 9+ years jail in 2010 for trafficking ecstasy, cocaine and meth.

Frank Madafferi initially received protection payments for turning away Gangitano. Soon after other underworld players and their relatives became La Porchetta franchisees, like Michael Manariti. They also invested in properties used by the chain. Crossing these interests would prove to have disturbing consequences. In August 2014, ASX-listed Retail Food Group, which owns franchise chains Crust, Gloria Jean's and Brumby's, announced it would buy La Porchetta's for A$16.3m. 3 months later it walked away. La Porchetta had been under pressure from a host of new competitors in the pizza business. It's franchise network contracted from more than 90 outlets at its peak. In March 2014, the link between La Porchetta and organized crime made headlines.

Madafferi, who has previously sued Fairfax Media for defamation, tried, unsuccessfully, to obtain the identity of the journalists' sources. He says he is a businessman unfairly slandered by the police and media.

Foreclosure in B.C.

Default on a mortgage means the lender has the right to claim the full balance owed under the mortgage, plus interest and other costs. Making a fraudulent misrepresentation to obtain the mortgage is one example of a default. The lender can start legal proceedings to take the property or sell it to pay the mortgage debt. This legal process is foreclosure. The first step in a foreclosure is a Demand Letter. 1) Demand Letter. It contains precisely how much is owed. It is made on all of the owners of the property, all of the people who are named in the mortgage and the guarantor if there is one. If the mortgage is not satisfied within the stated time the lender moves to petition. 2) Petition. To start a foreclosure action, a formal application is made, in writing, to the court requesting judicial action. This declaration of facts is a petition. The petition is also served to anyone whose interest may be affected such as the registered owners, tenants, guarantors, and any other mortgage or insurance holders. Included in the petition is a request for an order for sale.

Oklahoma Flip, the Bump, and Value Fraud. In some schemes, the value of the property is artificially overstated to deceive the mortgage lender. This may be done by ‘Flips’, where one or more superficial transfers of title are used to increase the apparent value of a property. ‘Shot gunning’ is to approach multiple lenders simultaneously for loans on one property. A similar tactic is ‘chunking’ where one approaches multiple lenders simultaneously. 'Puffing' is the exaggeration of material facts to increase the perceived value of a property. Collusion is when people act in concert to falsify aspects of a development or a loan application.

Private Mortgage Financing Frauds are schemes where mortgage financing is raised by ‘private offerings’ in which investors are promised high returns on real estate properties or condo projects.

Clayton Eheler - busted again - update IV

"Christmas is all about giving," said Alexandria Di Battista, 'owner' of Smoking Deals Auto in Chilliwack.

Its Dec 16, 2013 and "The folks at Smoking Deals Auto, Alexandria Di Battista, Clayton Eheler, and Tyler McInnes, hosted a Christmas dinner for the hungry on Dec. 19, 2013 at Evergreen Hall." “We did pretty good this past year, and we want to give back to the community,” she said. “Feeding people is filling a basic need.” So is getting high and cocaine kingpin Clayton Eheler was busted months later.

Clayton Archie Eheler, 40, was arrested on multiple charges March 22, 2022 in Langley. This time around it's committing an offence for a criminal organization, and conspiracy to commit an indictable offence, and trafficking. Eight years, four months, and 15 days after Clayton Eheler was caught with Matthew Thiessen processing a mountain of cocaine, the well-known gangster finally pleaded guilty. Co-accused Thiessen pleaded guilty and will be sentenced Sept. 6. Eheler remains out on bail pending his next court appearance. Clayton Archie Eheler puts the 'R' into recidivist. In 2019 cops seized $2m worth of drugs, including nearly 15 kg of fentanyl pills and powder, eight guns and more than $200k in cash. Eheler and co-accused Mathew Jordan Thieessen were caught with cocaine in 2014. Both were found guilty of trafficking.

Eheler, a former Bacon brothers associate, was sentenced to 8 years and a lifetime weapons prohibition. The case against the gangsters turned mainly on the admissibility of evidence from a search warrant. The men were present in the apartment when cops busted down the door. Cops landed 8kg of powder cocaine and 1kg of crack along with weapons. Eheler is well known as a Wolf Pack gangster - a coalition made up of some Hells Angels, some Red Scorpions and some Independent Soldiers.

Eheler has a long criminal history, exceeding 45 convictions. Over the years Eheler repeatedly used a high profile defence lawyer to force delay after delay in the case. There were multiple defense voir dire hearings for alleged Charter breaches and a failed application for a mistrial. Then the pair gleefully argued their Charter rights were violated because the case took more than 30 months from arraignment to conviction.

Tony Madafferi anointed new Godfather of Australian mafia

The Australian arm of the mafia has a new Melbourne-based Godfather. Press in the country can't name names. We can. New boss is the well recognized Tony Madafferi, 55. He replaces the aging Diego (Danny) Luppino as the head of the Calabrian mafia. Luppino has been considered Australia’s Italian organized crime “Godfather” since the 1990s. Oz cops last year said there were 51 Italian organized crime clans in Australia — 14 of them ’Ndrangheta clans, with thousands of members. The changeover in leadership has been negotiated without bloodshed. Like elsewhere in the world, the clans are tied by blood lines. Its estimated the ’Ndrangheta controls 80% of the world’s cocaine trade.

This space recorded the infamous 'Lobster with a Mobster' episode in 2017 as Mr. Matthew "tough on crime” Guy was boiled alive and cooked red after having a lobster and donations dinner with mobster Antonio Madafferi.

'Screwy Ride' brings out HA, cops, in Vancouver - update III

The plot has thickened regarding Wayne 'Willy' Williams. The Commandos aren’t just affiliated, the RCMP’s gang unit, the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit (CFSEU-BC), lists them as a puppet club of the HA. This distinction puts them in the same category as the Red Devils MC. wayne_williams@sd33.bc.ca.

Wayne Williams - Chilliwack School District Williams is said to have a Hells Angels sticker on his Harley for years. This would be banned if he wasn’t a HA associate.

Williams said he rides with the Commandos Motorcycle Club, a group comprised of “active and retired Canadian Armed Forces and Allied Military Members.” Williams refused to comment if it was appropriate for him to spend his time with OMG bikers primarily engaged in organized crime.

Cops tend to pay close attention every time Hells Angels gather for one of their group rides. Whom the bikers call associates is one of their concerns. Photojournalist Jason Payne was there as the bikers gathered at Ocean View Cemetery in Burnaby. One face was recognized by Chilliwack citizens. The photo shows two Hells Angels smiling and embracing, along with a man smiling facing them with a vest with the word 'Veteran'. That man is Chilliwack School District manager of transportation Wayne Williams. The HAMC would have had to approve the 3 patch colours worn by the group.

It's 2019 and about 80 Hells Angels and associates gathered at the East End clubhouse for their annual ride to pay tribute to Dave (Screwy) Swartz. Vancouver cops checked vehicle registrations, prompting East End chapter president John Bryce to chat with police.

This year Vancouver cops on motorcycles and in cars were stationed around the clubhouse at 3598 East Georgia Street. It is no longer HAMC property and confused bikers eventually congregated at Swartz’s grave in Oceanview Cemetery in Burnaby. David Ernest Paul “Screwy” Swartz died 6 Apr 1988 aged 32. He was shot and killed with a rifle by his friend Lynn Neil Eddington, who then killed himself with the same gun. The men had been drinking heavily at a party when they began fighting.
