The hunt is on for the surveilence video vis-a-vis the arsonist who torched Digstown Clothing in Kelowna. Here and Here.
Digstown Clothing, owned by Damiano Dipopolo, went up in flames at 2:00am in Feb 2007.
RCMP released video of a man caught on camera at the back of the business minutes before the blaze. That video is MIA but showed, in this opinion, a limping Damiano Dipopolo. He collected $54k in insurance proceeds.
A person of interest in the arson came forward March 21, 2007, after the video aired. No charges were laid. "It is totally suspicious because of the intensity of the fire and the time frame. We know it was an accelerated fire," said Kelowna Fire Chief Rene Blanleil.
Damiano Dipopolo is out in bad standing. The reason isn't known, but its said to involve betrayal. Founding member's Dipopolo fall from grace was obvious after losing the Kelowna chapter presidency to Richard Goldammer in 2022.
We have received unconfirmed but usually reliable information that Damiano Dipopolo has been kicked out of the HAMC. He's said to be out in bad standing.
Dipopolo regularly brought bad press to the club. The number of criminals busted under his never convicted watch can't be counted. He brags of being arrested 8 times, convicted never. Its said the club blew over $3.1m in legal fees trying and failing to save it's 3 clubhouses in B.C. from forfeiture.
Twins Rocco and Damiano Dipopolo.
Damiano Dipopolo used free DeCotiis family cash approaching $1m to expand the HAMC into Kelowna. He accumulated great wealth while being the top crime boss in the city for 15 years. When criminal operations came crashing down, over and over, there was always one man walking away intact. The career criminal abused the BCSC with 1% lies to silence bloggers. The out bad biker now has top ex gangster pigs making his threats for him.
Marco Raduano, 41, boss of the Gargano Mafia in the southern Italian region of Puglia, was caught outside a luxury restaurant in Bastia, Corsica. He was reeled in by the same anti-mafia unit that captured Matteo Messina Denaro.
Budget cuts meant 50 guards were watching 180 prisoners, many of whom are some of Italy’s most notorious mafiosi.
Marco Raduano escaped from the Badu’e Carros top security prison in Sardinia. He went unnoticed for two hours because no one was watching security footage. Cameras captured the boss of the Sacra Corona Unita Mafia clan scaling down a stone wall using a rope of bedsheets before running off.
Raduano was arrested in 2018 and jailed for 18 years for cocaine trafficking. He is facing murder charges. The crime lord presides over a notoriously violent criminal clan that’s known for shattering its victims’ skulls with shotgun blasts to deprive families of open-casket funerals. The Sacra Corona Unita consists of about 50 clans with 2,000 members and specializes in extortion, smuggling cigarettes, drugs, and people.
The Sacra Corona Unita collects payoffs from other criminal groups for landing rights on the coast of Italy.

Abbotsford gangster Amritpal Saran missed a court sentencing for possession of a restricted firearm and unauthorized possession of a firearm in a vehicle. He had a good excuse.
He was laying dead after being shot and killed in the parking lot of the Seven Oaks Shopping Centre. Amrit Saran aka Umba was the last of a dying or caged breed of United Nations gangsters.
At age 25 he outlived a great many of his peers. The Brothers Keepers are gleefully taking the credit for Umba's departure.
