Italian Police Capture Super Boss of 'Ndrangheta After Two Decades On The Run

Prime Minister Matteo Renzi wrote in a tweet: 'Thank you to the judges and the forces of order. Viva l'Italia'.

[From article]

One of Italy's most wanted mafia bosses has been arrested today after two decades on the run, fleeing a life sentence for murder, it has emerged.
Ernesto Fazzalari, 46, was captured in the early hours of the morning in an apartment in a remote part of the southern region of Calabria, home to the notorious 'Ndrangheta organised crime syndicate.
Fazzalari was one of the country's most wanted 'Ndrangheta fugitives along with 'superboss' Matteo Messina Denaro.


Ernesto Fazzalari, 46, has been arrested today after two decades on the run, fleeing a life sentence for murder, it has emerged.

On the run since 1996, he was convicted in absentia in 1999 of mafia association, kidnapping, illegal possession of weapons and a double homicide linked to a bloody 1989-91 feud which left 32 people dead in his home town of Taurianova.
His arrest was hailed by the government as a significant victory for the state in its battle against what is now considered Italy's most powerful mafia group.
'Thank you to the judges and the forces of order. Viva l'Italia,' Prime Minister Matteo Renzi wrote in a tweet.
Interior Minister Angelino Alfano described Fazzalari as 'one of the most important fugitives and a leading underworld figure.'
He added: 'This shows that you cannot run from justice. These are the kind of victories that encourage and support us in the difficult but winnable fight against organised crime.'
Notoriously ruthless, the 'Ndrangheta has surpassed Sicily's Cosa Nostra and the Naples-based Camorra thanks to the wealth it has amassed as the principal importer and wholesaler of cocaine produced in Latin America and smuggled into Europe via north Africa and southern Italy.
That trade is worth billions and previous police operations have indicated that the 'Ndrangheta has well-established links with Colombian producer cartels, Mexican crime gangs and mafia families in New York and other parts of North America.
The organisation is made up of numerous village and family-based clans based in Calabria, the rural, mountainous and under-developed 'toe' of Italy's boot.

The name 'Ndrangheta comes from the Greek for courage or loyalty and the organisation's secretive culture and brutal enforcement of codes of silence have made it very difficult to penetrate.
A series of arrests in late 2014 and early 2015 confirmed that the organisation had expanded its Italian operations outside Calabria by buying up dozens of legitimate business across the wealthier north of the country, largely to launder cocaine profits.
Those arrests also providing an unprecedented glimpse into the group's shadowy culture with police secretly filming a quasi-religious initiation ceremony in which new 'wise brothers' swear an 'oath of poison' in which they vow to kill themselves rather than betray a fellow clan member.
There are dozens of 'NDrangheta fugitives still at large despite regular arrests in Italy and around the world.
One alleged don, Rocco Zito, 87, was shot dead in Canada in January, Switzerland arrested 15 convicted 'Ndrangheta fugitives in March and last month the owner of a popular pizzeria in the Dutch seaside town of Scheveningen was unmasked as convicted Calabrian drugs smuggler Rocco Gasperini, 73.
Two mobsters who stayed in their homeland were arrested in January 'living like animals' in a Calabrian mountain bunker with a cache of sub-machine guns, rifles and pistols.
Giuseppe Ferraro and Giuseppe Crea were hiding from gangster enemies as well as the authorities.
In 2013 one of their associates, Francesco Raccosta, was killed by being fed alive to hungry pigs in revenge for his assassination of a rival boss.

Kentucky Police Capture Gentleman Who Escaped From Georgia Prison 37 Years Ago

Billy Burchfield was serving a 16-year sentence for manslaughter when he escaped 37 years ago and had been on the run ever since.

[From article]

A man who escaped from prison in 1979 and eluded authorities for nearly four decades has been arrested in eastern Kentucky, police say.
Billy Burchfield was serving a 16-year sentence for manslaughter in a Georgia jail when he broke out 37 years ago - and he has been on the run from the law ever since.
Police say the 67-year-old stole the identity of his cousin Harold Arnold after he died and was living under that alias when the cops finally caught up with him.
Laurel County Police say they were able to track down Burchfield after receiving a tip from law enforcement in Jackson County, Georgia that he was living as Arnold in the area.
Detectives went to a house in Laurel County on Wednesday night and spoke with the occupant who denied any knowledge of Burchfield.
But after he submitted for fingerprinting, Kentucky State Police fingerprint technicians and the FBI were able to determine that he was a match for Burchfield.
Gilbert Acciardo, spokesman for Laurel County Police Department, said Burchfield had lived without incident in the county since fleeing jail.
'Probably somebody like that is going to fly under the radar,' Acciardo said. 'You (would) have to keep your nose extremely clean and apparently that's what he's done.'
When he was approached by police on Wednesday night, he denied he was a fugitive and continued to deny it after being fingerprinted, Acciardo said.
'He's saying he's not that person,' Acciardo said.
No one answered the phone Thursday at a phone number listed at the London, Kentucky, address where Burchfield was living as Harold Arnold.
Burchfield is being held in Kentucky as a fugitive until he is extradited back to Georgia, Acciardo said.

Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman Captured, Met With Sean Penn, While On Run

New leader: Ivan (pictured) is said to have been acting as the Sinaloa Cartel's boss on the streets since his father was recaptured in last week's raid by Mexico marines.
[From article]
The son of Mexico drugs lord Joaquin 'El Chapo' Guzman launched a fuming tirade at the country's president – threatening to 'take him out'. In further evidence that he is being groomed to take over his father's multi-billion dollar narcotics business, Ivan Guzman tweeted Mexico President Enrique Peña Nieto: 'Just as we put you in the presidency, we can just as easily take you out.' In a series of Tweets, as his dad 'El Chapo' was recaptured by marines after six months as the world's most wanted man, eldest son Ivan, 32, vowed to continue the moustached drugs kingpin's Sinaloa Cartel.
[. . .]
Ivan, his dad's biggest cheerleader, followed the tweet, which was quickly deleted, with a series of rants against the Mexican government. Following Nieto's trumpeting statement, which crowed, 'Mission accomplished: We have him. I would like to inform Mexicans that Joaquin Guzmán Loera has been detained' – Ivan was raging. 'F*** your mother you f****** scum,' he blasted back in response as it was announced that his father's time on the run was up. 'You have no idea of what you have done, nor of the trouble you have gotten yourselves into,' another spat. When Ivan threatened to 'take out' Nieto, his Twitter followers retweeted the comment retweeted or liked it 13,000 times. [. . .] During his most recent incarceration, US Drug Enforcement Agency papers stated El Chapo was passing messages to Ivan 'via attorneys who visited him in prison and possibly through the use of a cell phone provided... by corrupt prison guards'. The same documents showed how Ivan orchestrated one of the foiled plots to free his father by asking the Mexican army's counter intelligence officers to devise a jailbreak plan. In the controversial Rolling Stone article by actor Sean Penn, who secretly met El Chapo in October without the authorities' knowledge, he said Ivan 'is considered the heir to the Sinaloa cartel'. 'At 32, he is considered the heir to the Sinaloa cartel,' Penn wrote, adding 'He's attentive with a calm maturity. 'Like his brother [Alfredo], he boasts a fabulous wristwatch.' In 2004 Ivan was a suspect in the murder of Canadian exchange student Kristen Deyell, who was gunned down outside a Guadalajara nightclub. Brother: Ivan's younger brother Alfredo (pictured), known as El Gordo, or the Fat One, has denied making threats to the Mexican government and the authorities Wealth: Alfredo, who is said to be in charge of the Sinaloa cartel's drug trafficking operations, once showed off his riches by posting a picture of his pet lion cub on top of his Bentley
Tweet: Alfredo posted this picture of his fugitive father in Costa Rica while on the run - and forgot to turn off the locator, almost leading security forces right to him
In 2005 he was charged with money laundering and organised crime offences after police found packages of cocaine and a weapon inside an SUV vehicle he crashed in the same Guadalajara neighbourhood.
When the charges were dropped, Mexico authorities indicted him for buying cars with money gained by 'illicit activities' and sentenced him to five years' jail.
A judge overturned the conviction and released Ivan in 2008.
The judge was later suspended for a series of 'questionable rulings'.
Ivan's younger brother Alfredo, 25, has denied the family have made threats to the Mexico government or the president.
'There's no time for any of that,' he tweeted broadcaster TV Azteca.
But in a sinister follow-up, he added: 'The day we are going to do something, we won't tell people about it beforehand.'

[From article]
It was a big scoop, and one Rolling Stone may well regret.
The magazine made stunning news over the weekend by revealing that actor Sean Penn landed a rare interview last fall with the notorious drug lord Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman while Guzman was on the run after escaping through a tunnel from a maximum-security Mexican prison. Guzman was recaptured Friday in Mexico after a shootout that killed five of his associates and wounded one marine.
Penn's long and often rambling essay, widely mocked on social media, included comments from Guzman on everything from his childhood to his thoughts on the drug trade.
It also raised questions of ethics and judgment, namely whether Penn should have met secretly with one of the world's most-wanted fugitives, whether the actor crossed the line by giving Guzman approval over the article before it was published, and whether Penn trivialized El Chapo's murderous past by asking him such questions as "Do you have any dreams?" and "If you could change the world, would you?"
[. . .]



Writing for Rolling Stone, Penn acknowledged that Guzman was granted prior approval over the article (Guzman requested no changes, according to the actor), a violation of the commonly held rules of journalistic integrity.
"Allowing any source control over a story's content is inexcusable. The practice of pre-approval discredits the entire story — whether the subject requests changes or not," Andrew Seaman, chairman of the ethics committee of the Society of Professional Journalists, said in a blog post titled "Rolling Stone Gathers No Accolades."
"The writer, who in this case is an actor and activist, may write the story in a more favorable light and omit unflattering facts in an attempt to not to be rejected."

Rolling Stone faces criticism over 'El Chapo' interview
By HILLEL ITALIE
Jan. 10, 2016 3:55 PM EST

* * *

Setting it up: Kate del Castillo (pictured) played an integral role in organizing the bizarre interview for Rolling Stone back in October.

[From article]
Sean Penn unwittingly led Mexican marines to El Chapo after meeting him for an extraordinary interview - and is now under investigation.
The sensational meeting took place deep in the Mexican jungle in October and was arranged by Penn, Mexican actress Kate del Castillo and a fixer, with the permission of the Sinaloa cartel.
El Chapo admitted in the bizarre interview to being the biggest drug trafficker in the world and said he sent engineers to Germany to learn how to build the tunnel he would eventually use to escape a maximum security prison.
The cartel boss was captured on Friday in a daring 4am raid by Mexican marines and was returned to Altiplano jail. The double Oscar-winning actor's meeting with El Chapo led to the gun battle in which he was captured, an official said.
[. . .]
Penn and del Castillo are now under investigation in Mexico.
In an article written by Penn for Rolling Stone, El Chapo says: 'I supply more heroin, methamphetamine, cocaine and marijuana than anybody else in the world. I have a fleet of submarines, airplanes, trucks and boats.'
Despite his notoriety, up until this point the Mexican gangster had always insisted he was 'just a farmer'.
[. . .]
Penn wrote that El Chapo sent engineers - who were already accomplished in tunnel-building from the multitudes of underground paths they have built beneath the U.S.-Mexico border - to Germany to learn how to construct the tunnel he fled down as he escaped from prison in July last year.
The actor claimed the cartel leader was concerned about the low-lying water table beneath the jail.
The Mystic River star said he did not turn El Chapo in because the drug lord's trust 'was not to be f***ed with'.
'I take no pride in keeping secrets that may be perceived as protecting criminals, nor do I have any gloating arrogance at posing for selfies with unknowing security men. But I'm in my rhythm. Everything I say to everyone must be true,' Penn wrote.
[. . .]
The U.S. has filed at least seven extradition requests in six different states for Joaquin 'El Chapo' Guzman to be extradited but justice officials warned that his lawyers were likely to 'milk it' by firing off different appeals at different stages of the extradition battle to prolong the legal tussle.
El Chapo was caught after contacting actors and directors about making a Narcos-style biopic about his life, Mexican officials said. It is not clear whether Penn was contacted about the movie.
The seeds for the bizarre meeting between Penn and El Chapo were sown back in 2012 after a representative for the Mexican gangster contacted del Castillo, who had posted tweets saying she had more trust in the cartel than the government.
A lawyer for the Sinaloa cartel said flowers were being sent to the actress, however they never arrived.
Del Castillo later met a fixer called Espinoza - and both of them remained in contact with El Chapo's people after his escape.
Penn later met Espinoza and suggested he meet the fugitive for a magazine article and, incredibly, the Sinaloa cartel agreed to it.
[. . .]
El Chapo - real name Joaquin Guzman - explained in a video interview how he escaped from the prison and talks of how he became one of the most notorious drug lords of all time.
Speaking to del Castillo, El Chapo explains how he wound up joining the illegal drug trade.
'Well from the age of 15 and on, where I'm from, which is the Municipality of Badiraguato, I was raised on a ranch called La Tuna in that area and up until today there are no job opportunities.
[. . .]
El Chapo will fight extradition to the U.S. and his cartel lawyer has already filed six separate injunctions challenging requests to send him to face justice in America - meaning the whole process could take months.
Juan Masini, former U.S. Department of Justice attache at the U.S. Embassy in Mexico, said the extradition process could be drawn out over a period of months.
'They can challenge the judge, challenge the probable cause, challenge the procedure,' he said. 'That's why it can take a long time. They won't challenge everything at once ... they can drip, drip, milk it that way.'
Mexican authorities have confirmed the country is willing to extradite the recaptured drug lord - a total reversal of the government's position after his last capture in 2014.
If the extradition goes ahead, it is likely El Chapo will spent the rest of his life in jail without the possibility of parole.
An official said 'Mexico is ready' for an extradition and 'there are to cooperate with the U.S.' although he warned the legal process could be lengthy and Guzman's attorney is saying he'll battle extradition in the courts.
After his arrest on Friday, Mexican marines returned El Chapo to the same Altiplano jail he was able to tunnel out of in July last year - becoming the first inmate to escape the prison which is considered the most secure in the entire country.

Family over everything: El Chapo's son, Alfredo Guzman and Iván Archivaldo Guzman (above), appear to have sent threatening messages over Twitter after their father was arrested Friday.

[From article]
Social media accounts that appear to be linked to El Chapo's sons have insulted, warned and threatened the Mexican government in several posts since their father's arrest.
Alfredo Guzman and Iván Archivaldo Guzman have reportedly posted threatening messages on Twitter that contain profanity and insults to the Mexican government immediately after their father, the world's most wanted man, was finally captured.
The messages, which are being reported as authentic by Mexican media even though the social media accounts have not been verified as belonging to the pair, were first shared after their father was recaptured in response to a tweet announcement by Mexico's president, Enrique Pena Nieto.
 the leader of the country wrote about the capture of the world's most wanted man: 'Mission accomplished: We have him. I would like to inform Mexicans that Joaquin Guzmán Loera has been detained.'

Once he was recaptured in 2014, the relationship between the two grew tremendously, as they exchanged several letters. The actress reached out to Sean Penn (pictured together above) to discuss making a movie about El Chapo, per his request.

[From article]
Since the capturing of the world's most wanted man, there are many questions surrounding his latest arrest and how he allowed the beautiful Mexican actress Kate del Castillo into his inner circle.
The Rolling Stone piece in which famed actor Sean Penn documents his daring journey to Mexico to meet up with El Chapo Guzmán, ultimately led to the kingpin's recapture, six months after his elaborate prison break.
But the meeting between the double Oscar-winning actor and the famed drugs lord only seems to come about with del Castillo's help.
'He was interested in seeing the story of his life told on film, but would entrust its telling only to Kate,' Penn wrote in the magazine about El Chapo's desire to have a movie made about him.
[. . .]
Del Castillo first started her acting career in 1979 when she appeared in a film titled The Last Escape.
From there, her fame only grew and so did her voice to speak out about different issues plaguing the world and her country. In 2009 she was appointed Ambassador for the Mexican Commission on Human Rights and also posed in a PETA campaign in 2012. The relationship between El Chapo and the 43-year-old beauty seems to have started at the beginning of 2012, when she first mentioned him in a tweet.
The Mexican film and television star, who is the daughter of soap opera actor Eric del Castillo, stated that she would trust El Chapo if it was a question between him or the seemingly corrupt Mexican government.
'Mr. Chapo, wouldn't it be cool that you started trafficking with love?' she wrote in the tweet.
'With cures for diseases, with food for the homeless children, with alcohol for the retirement homes that don't let the elderly spend the rest of the days doing whatever the f*** they want.
'Imagine trafficking with corrupt politicians instead of women and children who end up as slaves.

Authorities said Wednesday that Dion used the name Cameron Bouchard while on the run.
Dion had been missing since March 24, 2014, and was later charged with two counts of second-degree murder and arson in his parents’ deaths. He was also charged with child pornography possession.
Authorities said Dion was able to elude them for 15 months because he is an intelligent individual who laid low and found employment while in Florida.
Death certificates filed in Hillsborough County Probate Court showed that 71-year-old Robert Dion and 67-year-old Constance Dion were strangled with a wire several days before the explosion.

Police believe the man suspected of brutally murdering a family and their housekeeper in Washington, DC, last week is in Brooklyn — because his Big Apple girlfriend told authorities he’d been staying with her, The Post has learned.
Daron Dylon Wint’s Brooklyn girlfriend claimed that he was with her but heading back to Washington, DC, to turn himself in, a law enforcement source told The Post.
The source added that her claims that he’s prepared to turn himself over to the police could be nothing more than a diversion. Police took her in for questioning at the 69th precinct Thursday, sources said.
[. . .]
“We had information to believe he may be here, and right now in the South Brooklyn area,” Chief of Detectives Robert Boyce said at aThursday afternoon press conference.
“He has some relatives here and some friends here. We’re investigating that with them right now,” he added.
Wint was spotted as recently as Wednesday night in Brooklyn, authorities told the Associated Press.
Police believe he may have stayed with his girlfriend Wednesday night, then left early in the morning, law enforcement sources said.

Wint was at one time employed by American Iron Works, a construction materials supplier based in Hyattsville, Maryland, where Savvas served as CEO, Lanier said at a press conference in DC.
“We do believe that there is a connection between the suspect in this case through the business,” she said. “It does not appear that this is a random crime.”
He “possibly” traveled from Maryland to New York on a bus, and police haven’t connected him with a car at this point, Lanier said.

Wint was last seen in blue jeans, a blue hooded sweatshirt and white tennis shoes.

Shot: Sandra Kay Sutton, below, and her 17-year-old son Zachary Wade Sutton, above, have been found shot dead at a relative's home around three weeks after she escaped her ex-boyfriend's home.




[From article]
Sutton and her 17-year-old son, Zachary Wade Sutton, were found dead on Thursday at a relative's home in Clinton, about 45 miles from Sedalia, where she had moved after escaping the home she had shared with Horn.
Oberkrom said officers found Horn hiding in a closet in an abandoned building at the J. N. Turkey Kearn Memorial Wildlife Area, about 70 miles southeast of Kansas City. He said officers were led to the area by a tip they received Saturday morning.

When officers told him to surrender, Horn threatened the officers with a handgun, said Sgt. Bill Lowe, spokesman for the Missouri State Highway Patrol. Lowe said it was unclear if Horn fired his weapon.

A massive hunt is underway for a man suspected of shooting dead his ex-girlfriend and her teenage son just weeks after she told police he had kept her locked in a wooden box for months.
Sandra Kay Sutton, 46, and her son, Zachary Wade Sutton, were found dead in her brother's home in Clinton, Missouri, where they had been staying, around 4am on Thursday, police said.
Authorities said her former boyfriend, 47-year-old James Barton Horn Jr., is 'absolutely' a suspect in the murders and officers surrounded his home in nearby Sedalia early on Thursday.
They have been looking for Horn ever since Sutton escaped his home in April and accused him of keeping her captive inside a wooden box for months.
[. . .]


Wanted: Police say that her ex-boyfriend, James Horn, is 'absolutely' a suspect in the deaths.

.
In late April, Sutton told police that, in January, Horn threatened her in a car with a 'tire jack' after an argument and that when they returned home he began building a wooden structure.
She said that Horn forced her to help build it, according to a probable cause statement filed by Sedalia police in the case.
The probable cause statement also said Sutton was allowed to leave the box in the evenings when Barton returned home from work but remained locked in it throughout the day.
When he returned, he sexually abused her, she said.
She managed to escape and run to a neighbor's home on April 30.

He had been living under an assumed name in Florida for at least 20 years.
Brevard County officials said they created a ruse to get Freshwaters to sign papers to check his fingerprints.
After a week of surveillance, US marshals and Florida confronted him with an old booking photo as he left his trailer home in rural Melbourne, Florida, asking whether he had seen the man.
"They showed him the pic, and he said he hadn't seen that guy in a long time," Major Tod Goodyear of the Brevard County Sheriff's office said.
"Then he admitted it and basically said, 'You got me'."

Boston, MA Murder Suspect Captured in Dominican Republic

[From article]
The international manhunt for Perez’s suspected killer, Peter Castillo, 26, of Salem, ended Thursday night when he was arrested by authorities in Santo Domingo after a brief foot chase, U.S. Marshals said.
“Upon arrival, authorities discovered Castillo, with the help of local neighbors, fled the residence and hid in the neighborhood,” the U.S. Marshals Service said in a statement. “After a brief search, authorities located and arrested him at approximately 6:15 p.m.”
Castillo, who was added to the U.S. Marshals 15 Most Wanted fugitive list in October, was wanted for allegedly shooting and killing Perez following an early-morning fight outside a nightclub in Boston’s Theatre District.
Perez, a former Army sniper who had served in Afghanistan, was studying at Bunker Hill Community College and wanted to be a Revere cop. He was shot in the back on Tremont Street just before 2 a.m. The fight that police say triggered the slaying was caught on video.
[. . .]
Castillo was indicted in June 2012 on charges of first-degree murder and unlawful possession of a firearm, Wark said. Also indicted were two co-defendants, Luis Sepelveda, 30, and Janice Hardy, 24, who were both charged with perjury and misleading investigators for allegedly lying to Boston homicide detectives and the Suffolk grand jury during the probe of Perez’s slaying.

Florida Fugitive Captured in Mexico After 37 Years

Robert Anton Woodring


[From article]
A former South Florida man has been arrested in Mexico 37 years after failing to surrender for a 10-month prison sentence.
Miami U.S. Attorney's officials say Robert Anton Woodring was indicted in 1984 for failing to surrender in 1977 to start his sentence for removing a yacht so that authorities couldn't seize it. Woodring had also been sentenced in a related case to seven years in prison after a jury found him guilty of mail fraud and conspiracy to commit mail fraud.

Bergdahl, 28, is believed to have slipped away from his platoon’s small outpost in Af­ghanistan’s Paktika province on June 30, 2009, after growing disillusioned with the U.S. military’s war effort. He was captured shortly afterward by enemy ­forces and held captive in Pakistan by insurgents affiliated with the Taliban. At the time, an entire U.S. military division and thousands of Afghan soldiers and police officers devoted weeks to searching for him, and some soldiers resented risking their lives for someone they considered a deserter.
[. . .]
Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, speaking to reporters Sunday in Bagram, Afghanistan, declined to talk about any possible action by the military against Bergdahl. A senior defense official indicated that punitive action was unlikely, no matter what the circumstances were. “Five years is enough,” he said.

The six men reportedly killed while searching for Bergdahl were identified as Staff Sgt. Clayton Bowen and Pfc. Morris Walker on Aug. 18, 2009; Staff Sgt. Kurt Curtiss on Aug. 26; 2nd Lt. Darryn Andrews and Pfc. Matthew Michael Martinek on Sept. 4; and Staff Sgt. Michael Murphrey on Sept. 5.
“He walked off,” said another comrade of Bergdahl’s, former Pfc. Jose Baggett.

He called his unit the day after he deserted to tell his unit he deserted… Bill, we lost 14 soldiers, killed, searching for a deserter. He left his unit in combat.

James "Whitey" Bulger Arrested in Santa Monica CA

With all of his friends and relatives in the MA state courts and US courts it is unlikely he will be convicted of any crime in the state. Too many judges, US Attorneys, FBI agents, Court clerks support his crime family, and are employed in the state government and US agencies in MA. Watch as the system mysteriously breaks down. The FBI statements about the arrest already do not make sense.

If the media and the government in MA is to be believed when James "Whitey" Bulger became a fugitive organized crime disappeared in MA. They may admit that there are associates remaining in MA among civilians and elected criminals. Someone still loves Mr. Bulger besides his brother. After I posted my comment about the pervasive corruption of MA government one of his admirers threatened me saying "You can be killed." This is only the latest threat of the police criminals who keep me under surveillance, harass me and continue 40 years of character assassination with the knowledge and approval of the FBI in Boston.
