[HaycH]

One of the family lives just a cross the street from me and they have been wiped out. Last night my bro was at his gym right next to where the lastest shooting happend in sydney road. Cops are leting em finish each other of and they have done. They gonna wait till theres only a few left then arrest them.

[juniorx]

why a few.. why not let em whipe it all out..

[colt]

Im italian, and i got a few "links" so i know the inside story of some of it,
basically, not naming any families, but one of the godfathers was murdered and these killings are pay back to the other family for killing such a high profile member of the family.

[jimmy_tee]

All these murders aren't exactly an ON-GOING war, i mean its organised fucking crime what do people expect. There always murders but then again there are truces, its just the ones that fuck up (and they always do) that become murders.
basically all this Melbourne shit is Drugs. There all battling to control who sells in what areas and bars/nightclubs.
I have heard rumours however that there is a Asian gang coming into it, possibly the sellers? who knows. Anyone have any information on that?

[jimmy_tee]

Forgot...........
another big reason to do with this and this is mainly between the Italians and the Asians.
Its a bit of a laugh but here goes.
the Footscray Fruit Markets have been fought for control for quite a while, i think a lot of the Italians have been ousted out so the Asians are pretty much in control of it. So sometimes all these mysterious murders are part of that.
however, i'm sure there not just battling over the pick of the crop

[juniorx]

good info's Jimmy.. as i cannot speak on it.. as im from Sydney.. not Melb.

[jimmy_tee]

is there much Underworld shit goin on Sydney? i imagine obviously the Cabra drug trade is still active, any other stuff?

[juniorx]

there is underworld.. shit aint Publicized half as much as the Melbourne stuff thats been going on.. and yeh Cabras still kickin.. but there so much heat in Cabra for alot of the underworld figures to move anything because place is loaded with cops.. now Chinatown.. people say City Centre in Sydney is a walk in the park.. thats coz there ORGANIZED !!!!.. im tellin u trip on the wrong toes there... and id rather be in Iraq.. hell.. Sydney City is nice.. anyone here chill at Galaxy on George Street. the asians there think they own the City.. let me tell u.. they dont run shit.. they got pocket knives and aint DOWN !.. they will run as soon as someone fronts them.. they aint in it with the larger scale crime.. they NOTHING.. !!!

[jimmy_tee]

haha they can't fight thats why they use knives.
quick they are though

[jimmy_tee]

a lot has been happening in Melbourne later.
A italian crime figure who lives round the corner from me was the target of an early morning hit. but the SOG were monitoring some figures and before they were gonna kill him on his early morning walk they were arrested.
The italian figure was part of the Honoured Society. Which is like around Australia. Mainly focusing on Marijuana grown in Mildura, Vic, and Griffith in NWS. I think the guy who was going to be killed was a 'Consigliere' which is like a advisor. He was close friends with Mick Gatto who killed a prominant drug figure a few weeks ago. The payback is obviously on...........
any more info u guys want just ask
and if anyone knows any more about the Honoured Society or the 'N'Drangheta' please post.

1.Greg Workman shot by Alphonse Gangitano, on February 7, 1995. Shot seven times.
2.The Melbourne gangland killings are believed to have begun with the murder of 40-year-old Alphonse Gangitano on January 16. He was shot and killed in the laundry of his home, while clad only in his underwear. A coroner's report into his death directly implicated Jason Moran and Graham Kinniburgh. They were both found to be in Gangitano's home in Templestowe when the murder took place; however, it could not be established who pulled the trigger. Kinniburgh's blood was found on a banister inside the house, and his skin was found on a dent on the front security door. Both were excused from giving evidence to the coroner on the grounds they might incriminate themselves.
3.On August 3, John Furlan, a 48-year-old motor mechanic from Coburg was killed by a car bomb in his Subaru Liberty outside his home. Domenico "Mick" Gatto was treated as a suspect since he had recently been involved in a payment dispute with the deceased; however, no one has been arrested in connection with his death.
4.42-year-old stand-over man Charles Hegyaljie, known as "Mad Charlie", was killed at his Caulfield home on November 23. He was an acquaintance of Chopper Read and had been associated with the amphetamine industry. Dino Dibra was linked to the killing, which was believed to be either drug or debt related.
5. * Vince Mannella, a former associate of Victor Peirce and Alphonse Gangitano, was ambushed and killed outside his home in North Fitzroy on the evening of January 9. Media suspected his death was debt-related or part of an underworld power struggle but no suspects were ever named
6.Danny Catania was the victim of a drive-by shooting about 6.00am on February 24. Catania was waiting outside his home in Hoppers Crossing in Melbourne’s western suburbs for a regular lift to work when an early model white Commodore slowed as it cruised by. A gunman in the car, reputedly Andrew Veniamin, opened fire, hitting Catania at least four times in the legs and groin. Catania, a mid-level “player” in the underworld was an ex-boxer who had a string of minor convictions, mostly for violence. Catania almost lost a leg as a result of the shooting and spent 12 months in hospital recovering. Those in the car were never caught. On Monday May 22, 2006 Catania, then 30, was sentenced to a minimum of six years jail for pouring petrol over a man who had annoyed him and setting the victim alight, causing horrific burns. Not surprisingly, Catania told the court that on his eventual release from jail, he wanted to “pack up and travel out of Melbourne”.
7.Joseph Quadara, a 57-year-old greengrocer, was ambushed by two people and killed in a Toorak carpark in the early hours of May 28, as he was about to start work at a Safeway supermarket. The former millionaire was declared bankrupt in 1994. Police believed that his killing was a case of mistaken identity, due to the existence of another Giuseppe "Joe" Quadara involved in Melbourne's fruit and vegetable industry with underworld connections
8. * Brighton businessman Dimitrios Belias, 38, was killed with a single shot to the back of the head on September 9, in an underground carpark on St Kilda road. He was believed to be heavily in debt.
9.On October 13, known drug dealer Carl Williams was shot in the stomach and survived. Williams told the police he blacked out and could not identify the shooter. Known underworld figures Mark and Jason Moran were present at the time, and police believe there was a dispute related to a failed amphetamines batch and ownership of drug manufacturing equipment. A woman told police she heard a man cry "No, Jason!" moments before a shot was fired
10.On October 20, Vince Mannella's brother, 31-year-old Gerardo Mannella, was ambushed and killed outside his brothers home, after attempting to flee from two men.
11.52-year-old fruiterer Francesco Benvenuto, also known as "Frank Benvenuto", was shot dead while sitting in his car in the driveway of his Beaumaris home on May 8, 2000. Phone records show that as Benvenuto lay dying he managed to ring ex-employee and associate Victor Peirce on his mobile phone.[citation needed] Police initially treated him as a suspect but later offered a $100,000 reward for information leading to an arrest. . Mark Moran and Andrew Veniamin were later named as chief suspects.
12.Richard Mladenich, a 37-year-old career criminal, and associate of Mark Moran was killed with a single bullet in the St Kilda Esquire Hotel on May 16, 2000. He had recently been released from jail where he once shared a cell with Chopper Read. Police later named Rocco Arico as a suspect but were unable to interview him whilst he was in prison. They later named Dino Dibra as their primary suspect
13.On June 15, 2000, Mark Moran was killed by Carl Williams with two bullets as he was stepping into his car outside his luxury home in Aberfeldie. Mark's murder initially thought of as retribution for the death of Frank Benvenuto.
14.25-year-old Dino Dibra was killed on October 14, 2000, after leaving his house in West Sunshine. At the time he was facing charges relating to kidnap and assault. At a police press conference, Detective Inspector Andrew Allen said "We are confident that this gunman is a hired hitman and that he, along with another person, ambushed Mr Dibra that night about 9.15pm and shot him a number of times ... this is not the only murder (the gunman) has committed". This police profile strongly suggested that "Benji" Veniamin was one of the gunmen. A A$100 000 reward was offered by police for information.
15.Victor Peirce, 42, was killed on May 1, 2002, while in a car parked opposite the Coles supermarket in Bay Street, Port Melbourne. A blue Holden Commodore pulled up beside Peirce, and Peirce exchanged words with the occupants inside the car, before being shot four times at close range. Victor was officially employed as a waterfront worker, however Police believed he was the leader of various drug syndicates in Melbourne and heavily involved with drug trafficking. The death of Peirce heavily impacted the Melbourne underworld. Some media linked Nik Radev with the killing but Police never named any suspects.
16.Alexander Kudryavstev was shot by Michael Goldman on July 10, 2002. Goldman, 55, said he shot to miss a wounded acquaintance on a suburban nature strip despite orders from psychotic criminal, Nik Radev to "finish him". Goldman said he was "under the gun" and terrified of Radev. Goldman lured Kudryavstev to his Hampton flat and told a Supreme Court jury he was acting like a robot when he shot Mr Kudryavstev in the stomach at the flat. He said Radev told him earlier the same day: "Give him one in the head and I take care of the body." Goldman, of Highett Road, plead not guilty to the attempted murder of Mr Kudryavstev. The jury heard Mr Kudryavstev, a police informer, was wearing a concealed tape recorder when shot in the abdomen and in the head. He secretly recorded his terrifying brush with death. Goldman shot Mr Kudryavstev in the abdomen as he greeted him at the front door. Mr Kudryavstev said he moved his head when Goldman fired at him on a nature strip near Highett Road. Goldman denied during cross-examination that he knew at the time Mr Kudryavstev was a police informer. He said an angry Radev wanted to meet Mr Kudryavstev over a burglary at a friend's warehouse. On May 27, 2004 Goldman was jailed for 14 years. Supreme Court judge Justice Robert Redlich ordered Goldman to serve a minimum non-parole term of 11 years. "Your anger and desire to kill him (Mr Kudryavstev) is evident on listening to the tape recording," said the judge.
17.On October 16, 2002, the body of drug dealer Paul Kallipolitis was found in his West Sunshine home. He was lying on his bed and had one gunshot wound to the head. He clearly knew his killer. Police believe he had been murdered a day earlier and publicly suspected that his one-time-friend Andrew Veniamin was the killer. Veniamin took over Kallipolitis' drugs business the next day. Veniamin and Kallipolitis had been friends for many years, since they were kids. Kallipolitis shot dead a man in Deer Park almost a decade earlier after having a gun pulled on him.[citation needed] Angelo Mario Venditti was arrested this murder on 29 July
18. * Nik Radev, known as "The Russian", was killed in Queen St Coburg on April 15. The known drug dealer and standover man was shot seven times in the head and chest as he sat in his Mercedes-Benz coupé. Victoria Police told The Age that they believed his death was planned by a father and son drug manufacturing team, and a hitman suspected of four other murders carried out the killing in a red sedan.Andrew Veniamin met Radev on the day of the murder and unambiguously fitted the police description of the prime suspect, along with George and Carl Williams. Radev had been warned that he was a marked man but ignored the warnings refusing to believe his friends would turn on him. Damien Cossu and Alfonso Traglia were with Radev at the time of the murder but claimed they could not identify the gunman, and were subsequently named by police as 'persons of interest'
19.On June 6, 28-year-old male prostitute Shane Chartres-Abbott was shot dead outside his Reservoir home.

21.Small time drug dealer Willie Thompson, 39, was killed on July 21, while sitting in his car after leaving a karate club in Chadstone. Police say the gunman strolled up to the car and shot Thompson dead before escaping with a second person in a stolen Ford sedan. Some bullets were lodged in nearby shops.

25. * Michael Marshall was shot five times in the head outside his South Yarra home in front of his girlfriend and his five-year-old son on October 25. He was the owner of a hot dog stand, and also a suspected drug dealer. Marshall was a 'friend' of Willie Thompson and also Nik Radev.
