Vancouver ,Turf war with Buttar-Malli gang.

Udam Sanghera, 58, and co-accused Gordon Taylor, 42, are charged with multiple weapons offences.Judge Jeanne Watchuk placed a ban on publication of evidence on the bail application for Sanghera.Police allege the gang he ran is in a bitter turf war with the rival Buttar-Malli gang.Sheldon Goldberg said police are using his client as a scapegoat because they have not found the people responsible for the Lower Mainland's recent string of killings. (CBC)"Udham Sanghera is the head of the 15-member Sanghera crime group, which operates in southeast Vancouver," Vancouver police Insp. Mike Porteous said during a news conference last Friday."That family is in direct conflict with the Bhuttar-Malli group and this conflict has over the past couple of years resulted in close to 100 shootings in that area of the city."
Sanghera has not been charged in connection with any shootings.There were no publication bans issued on Taylor’s bail hearing because his lawyer, Sheldon Goldberg, contends Taylor has nothing to hide.“They’re looking for a scapegoat,” Goldberg said. “They haven’t found the persons who have committed all these murders in the Lower Mainland — they’re not even close, it looks like.”In court, a special gang prosecutor alleged Taylor attended a meeting to bomb a rival gangster’s home and also arranged to buy four handguns in February.Goldberg countered that his client was set up by police and lured into buying the guns.Wally Oppal, B.C.’s attorney general, said he is hoping the judge will take the charges of each of the men into consideration when making a decision on whether to grant bail.
“If a person has seven or eight or nine outstanding charges and some of those involve weapons, then I think the judges have to look carefully about the reputation of the system,” Oppal said.The men remain in jail while they await their next hearing, scheduled for Wednesday

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
