Member of the East End chapter of the Hells Angels was heard on a wiretap

David Francis Giles.is charged along with two associates of the club, David Roger Revell and Richard Andrew Rempel, with associating with a criminal organization and trafficking in cocaine

The June 2005 wiretap, captured from a bug placed in the Hells Angels Kelowna clubhouse, was played in court by prosecutors during final arguments in the trial.
Prosecutor Martha Devlin told B.C. Supreme Court Justice Anne Mackenzie the East End chapter is a "highly structured, highly sophisticated" criminal gang that exercises a monopoly over certain kinds of criminal activity, primarily the drug trade.
She argued that Giles, a full-patch member who had been with the club for 20 years, did nothing without thinking about how it could benefit both himself and the club.
Giles helped direct and supervise the expansion of the East End chapter to Kelowna from Vancouver, she said.
Wiretaps have Giles laying out his vision of the expansion of the club and how it "must invoke the power of the patch" in Kelowna, said Devlin.
At one point during the wiretaps Giles can be heard warning others to beware of people who try to benefit from their association with the club.
"In no way, shape or form should anybody be riding on our coattails and it's happening all the time and I'm not going to tolerate it, period."
Devlin said the evidence shows that over 15 months, between March 2004 and July 2005, at least five members of the East End chapter were implicated in criminal activity, including the production and distribution of methamphetamines, and the distribution of multi-kilos of cocaine. The club members were also involved in extortions, assaults and possessing weapons, including firearms and grenades.

Timothy “Fuzzy” Timms, a 45-year-old member of the Hells Angels Motorcycle club, stood up Monday for his First Amendment right to freedom of expression. Timms, a resident of the San Diego community of South Park, refused to take off a black leather vest with the motorcycle club's “death's head” insignia when he reported for jury duty. He's a big burly man, 5 feet 8 inches, 250 pounds, with a full beard and auburn-colored, shoulder-length hair. At 7:45 a.m., Timms' stance got him booted from the San Diego Superior Court's Hall of Justice by sheriff's deputies, along with another Hells Angel who also refused to remove his insignia vest. Nine hours later, representatives of both the Superior Court and the sheriff's department apologized to Timms and club member Mick Rush for “misunderstanding” an order issued April 24 by Superior Court Judge Jeffrey Fraser. Rush also had been reporting for jury duty. “It all boils down to a misunderstanding of Judge Fraser'

Jorge “Rivi” Ayala, Griselda Blanco, aka the Black Widow

Rivi was, for a time, the hit-man of choice for Griselda Blanco, aka the Black Widow. Griselda was the grande dame of the Miami cocaine business, a Colombian mother of three, of impoverished origins, who slaughtered and intimidated her way to the top of a billion-dollar industry. She is a central character in this movie, the most deadly figure in a story in which the bodies are stacked like dominos. Conspicuous by her absence as an interviewee, she is one of the few key survivors of the era whom the film-makers were unable to coax before the lens. “Her release was imminent at that point, as was her deportation. I think she has changed her mind since, because we have been reapproached,” Corben says. contract killer Jorge “Rivi” Ayala, the director of Cocaine Cowboys Billy Corben says: “He told me where there is a body buried in Miami, by the Florida turnpike. It’s all developed now, malls and condominiums. He knows where all the bodies are buried. We told the police. I think he told the
