Ticket machine card fraud rise in EU
Italy Seizes Record Assets in Sicily - BBC
Italy seizes record assets in Sicily http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-22017112
Check out the above link from the BBC.
This a record amount of money seized by Italys anti mafia police.These anti mafia police were the first ever created many countries have adopted or modeled the Italian's approach. These type of units has led to many countries ammending laws usually to empower these type of police forces. Laws such as granting them the ability to seize assets with out any charges being laid. Thy right to tap or evesdrop on suspects without warrants granted. NZ's equivelent here they are called OFCANZ.
So far our NZ version OFCANZ has seized in exccess of 30 million dollars from "people who had unexplained wealth".
Now the mafia who have been going a long time with an exstensive global network particulary in Europe and the USA. Naturally they must have so much unexplained wealth they must have thought they had to do something with it and they did, they gave it to this guy who seems to be the front man of what appears to be a mafia attempt at laundrying thier unexplained wealth.

Another Funny One - Cannabis Crimes
Teen dobs in parents over cannabis
Funny article again, this time about an 18 year old dobbin in their parents for growing cannabis. The 18 year old found the urgent need to call the police upon discovering two mature cannabis plants in the backyard of the parents home whilst visiting with friends. The parents who were absent are expected to answer questioning at the local police station no doubt charges pending. Again with the seasonal harvest for outdoor grown pot taking part at present time many parents up and down the country will be sitting nervously prunning their vegetable gardens avoiding all measures to get caught, this highlights the mistrust the 18 year old has in their parents. Cannabis should not be a crime A.C.A.B believes the laws should be changed and believes it can be manageable with education respobsibility and support. The problem the government cant ammend the laws to allow us to grow in our backyards for personal use as this is the obvious case here, why? Because they cant tax it like they do with alchahol and tobbacco.
The truth of the matter if they did make all drugs legal and taxed in a modern manner they would make not millions but billions. Cannabis is a manageable drug unlike alchahol a legal taxed parasite on our culture.

Grandma vs The Hells Angels
A.C.A.B had a good laugh when he read the www.stuff.co.nz news article found below. An Australian Victorian Hells Angels Sergeant-at-Arms Peter "Skitzo" Hewat is facing serious charges after trying to reclaim his lost white shih-tzu terrier. Now A.C.A.B didn't meet too many Hells Angels in his shit kicking days but he does know their reputation for striving to being "top of the food chain". "Skitzo" from A.C.A.B's assumption would be somebody you wouldn't want to cross at all merits he thinks if you should do so such an act would bring a whole lot of trouble down upon you really fast. This doesn't seem to be the case for the Grandmother who found the lost dog and would not hand the dog back to it's owners without proof of ownership even if he did assault her and then send two unknown soldiers who then threaten her with a firearm. Of course the boys couldn't get the dog back the Grandma obviously thought I should report this to the Police who then became involved they raided the Sergeant-at-Arms business address where they discovered a pill press (probably another problem he could have done without of) for which he has been charged with including other business related offences for which charges were also laid and he is now facing.
Now who of us would expect a shih-tzu terrier would be his undoing its sounds as though Mr and Mrs Skitzo really loved this dog and A.C.A.B thinks the Grandma liked the dog as well by the sounds of the story she didn't want to give it back, also of note when the Whanganui Chapter of the Hells Angels in NZ were making their appearances before the Whanganui District Council in regards to by laws they wished to pass regarding the bulldozing of their headquarters it was said in the newspaper article that their lawyer got up before the council and said they were "motorcycle enthusiasts who loved their mums and liked cats" A.C.A.B loves his mum and likes cats also. Now shih-tzu terriers loving their mums and liking cats are not what we hear everytime they the 81's when they are mentioned in the media its usualy warfare with rivals or over attention from the Police and A.C.A.B states that all we hear in the media isn't nesescarily true but even as he feels this should have been resolved with a more subtle approach and Skito must agree he at this very moment he must be cursing that damned dog he obviously loved it even if it did end this badly for him its great to hear these guys are normal and not the monsters the media typically protrays.

88's Branching out in Wellington
Dominion Post article today detailing the Head Hunters establishing a cage fighting club in the Upper Hutt. Situated across the road from a Police station the Dominion approached Nathan Hemana a patched member for comment who resides at the address and is the only patched member in Wellington. Details of the Dominions article can be found here.
NZ Herald picked the story up this afternoon less detail than the Dominions article details found here.
The story states that it is setup as Capital Transitions Charitable Trust Board Its two trustees are Mr. Hemana and Phillip McFarlane another North Island based patched member. A.C.A.B as a teenager met Phil McFarlane once. He purchased his first V8 an HQ Holden from Phil McFarlane he was introduced to him by a friend.
Again the media sludge the MC even though no actual crime has been committed here. The Herald mentions Dave Dunn is still facing charges something blogged about here before.

Latest Speeding Ticket
A.C.A.B has been posted a fine for speeding past a Police speed camera, he was caught in a residential zone speeding 15kms over the zones limit of 50km. The fine was for $80.00 NZ dollars. This is the first such ticket for over 18 months. I intend to pay the fine immediately to not incur late penalty's.
Stationary speed cameras are a major revenue for the NZ Government. Millions of dollars are paid towards fines every year. Police who issue the tickets maintain it is done in turn to keep the speed of motorists down. Research has proved this is somewhat flawed if it did have a high reduction in getting drivers speed down why do motorists spend millions of dollars on these type of offences. Another observation or question of mine with the ever increasing cost of registering a motor vehicle in NZ with the government saying it is needed for providing roads, ACC etc why does the millions in fines address this.
Myself or A.C.A.B hopes of no further tickets for at least another 18 months.

RWC Lions Cup Scandal Bouncer Charged
Cup Scandal Bouncer Charged www.stuff.co.nz
Expand This footage of Mike Tindall with the mystery blonde was leaked by Jonathan Dixon who has since been dismissed from his security job. Photo / SuppliedA nightclub bouncer who launched a royal storm of headlines around English captain Mike Tindall and his new wife Zara Phillips was charged by police last night for his role in releasing camera footage of the player cavorting with a blonde woman.
Dixon who sold the footage to Splash News Agency a Celebrity gossip tattle merchant sheds questionable behavior from newly married Tindall. Dixon who has also been sacked from his bouncer has voluntarily appeared at a Queenstown Police Station and left 45 minutes later. A Police spokesperson was reported to say "We can confirm that a man was spoken to in relation to a complaint about security footage made by the manager of a local bar. He came to the police station on a voluntary basis," .
There is a humorous refference to an NZ Herald article in which they interviewed his mother and she defends her sons morals and view points on infidelity. They have quoted her speaking about the Lions captain and his wife with "You expect them to have a little bit more respect for themselves, don't you? I think it's sad for her being on the other side of the world, men are men and they're pretty fickle, aren't they?"
Rugby and beer always go together hand in hand, an ale with a frothy head after a game of rugga will always be a right of passage for rugby players. Its a pity they let them selves down frequently whilst under the influence. The courts have had numerous assaults and also indescriminate behavior of rugby players behind their wives girlfriends or WAGS backs.
Spartar Security who managed the security at Altitude Bar the Queenstown Gin Joint where the CCTV footage was recorded has also lost its contract with Altitude Bar.

OFCANZ bust NZ Rebels again
The Rebels have been hit again. OFCANZ in conjunction with district police have mounted raids on members in Northland and Taranaki with every known Taranaki member arrested. This stuff link has a video of an announcement from Police here.
Names of those arrested and charged with offences so far
Nathan James Couper, in his 30s: participating in a criminal group with two others, conspiring to supply cocaine, conspiring with seven others to supply methamphetamine, cultivating cannabis, conspiring with nine others to supply ecstasy (MDMA), and stealing electricity worth between $500 and $1000 from Powerco. Remanded in custody by consent until Thursday.
A manager in his 30s, interim name suppression: participating in a criminal gang, cultivating cannabis, theft of electricity. In custody by consent.
Dallas Francis Hikaka, 41, a nurse: participating in a criminal gang, conspiring to supply methamphetamine, cultivating cannabis. Remanded in custody by consent to Thursday.
Michael George Green, 38, process operator: conspiring to supply methamphetamine and ecstasy. Remanded on bail to September 15.
Ryan Blackburn, 24, labourer: conspiring to supply methamphetamine and ecstasy. Released on curfew to September 15.
Atamu Lee Manuel, 23, Crave Club DJ: conspiring to supply ecstasy. Remanded on bail to September 15.
Nateesha Angelica Moke, 23, unemployed: conspired to supply ecstasy and methamphetamine. Remanded on bail to September 15.
Three members of an Australian chapter were among 10 people arrested by armed police raids in New Plymouth. Police then went on to say “Garry Anthony Dewar, 39, a network operator for New Plymouth-based electricity lines company Powerco, is the Taranaki Rebels' president.”
Also reported through various news websites or feeds a high ranking Rebel gang member in Northland was charged with unlawful possession of a firearm
The operation is the second crackdown on the gang. The first operation was in February and resulted in more than 30 arrests across five North Island districts. A police spokeswoman said they knew of about 70 patched members throughout the country.
One interesting report that came from TVNZ was”Police also revealed that a live snake was found during an earlier crackdown on the outlaw bikie gang in February. Police said a snake was located at an address in Feilding, and detectives believe the Rebels smuggled it into New Zealand.”TVNZ This highlights the international link with this gang a vast majority of New Zealand based gangs don’t have this element or connection. OFCANZ and police have also through the media have given a message to recruits or prospective members they pledge their zero tolerance and future undivided attention. After this latest series of busts they appear to be determined to do their best to stamp the Rebels out.
