Part One: José Raul Pérez Valdés and the 1990 murder of John Ramon Ginnetti for the Vancouver Hells Angels
As we continue with the José Valdés story, let's answer why former stockbroker John Ginnetti was killed. It involved a debt and a greedy ex. Turns out Ginnetti's common law spouse Barbara helped set him up to be killed.
Since the mid-1980s, Randy Thymer and Ray Ginnetti had been running an operation to launder cash derived from hashish trafficking for Montreal organized crime figures and high-ranking members of the Hells Angels.
It turned out that Barbara—Ginnetti’s common-law wife—had learned from one of the Ginnetti family lawyers that she had been named a beneficiary in his will. She told Dagguit that Ginnetti was in possession of documents containing detailed, incriminating financial information regarding the illegal transactions he and Randy Thymer had conducted for their clients.
She also mentioned that Ray Ginnetti had recently been visited by someone who appeared to be an undercover RCMP agent. That was strike two. Strike one was some missinng money through a bad investment.
Seemingly, Ray Ginnetti had—behind his own business partner's back—carried out an unauthorized financial transaction using cash belonging to one of their most powerful clients. Unfortunately for him, he had lost a large sum of that cash to the son of a Venezuelan banker.
When the full extent of the situation came to light, it was decided—thanks to Lloyd Robinson's intervention—that his life would be spared, but only under strict conditions. Ginnetti was required to repay the debt with substantial interest. Consequently, Ray Ginnetti was forced to sell his shares and withdraw from the business. In light of Barbara's comments and Roger Dagguit's statements, those present concluded that Ray Ginnetti posed a significant risk to their interests; this is where the second contract came into play.
Days later, José Valdés was hired through Mike Vukelish to carry out Ginnetti's execution and to remove the aforementioned documents from the residence.
Turns out he was shot three times in the back of the head while sitting down having a beer at the Turf by Serge Robin, a drug addict from Quebec hired by Shannon Aldrich who was Roger Dagguit's business partner.
It was claimed that Roger Daggitt made copies of the documents recovered from Ray Ginnetti's home before handing them over. It was claimed he tried to blackmail the people named in the document's. True or False? You tell me. That was the claim so that's why he was killed.
On the morning Dagguit was executed, José Valdés and the crew were at a restaurant in Langley having breakfast with one of his sons, as was their custom. The night before, Vukelish warned Valdés not to accompany Dagguit to the Turf Hotel in Surrey. By then, Dagguit had already run into trouble with Vukelish and Shannon Aldrich.
Vukelish confronted Dagguit about the blackmail claims at a property in Surrey. Dagguit attacked Vukelish which forced Vukelish to discharge a firearm. The neighbors called 911 when they heard the gun shot shot so Vukelish, Shannon Aldrich and José Valdés left before the police arrived. José Valdés was going to take the contract to kill Dagguit but Serge Robin shot him first. Dagguit was trying to blackmail a high ranking crime family from Montreal.
Zeke was in charge of the property in Tacoma and of receiving the narcotics shipments sent there from Houston, Texas. This operation was financed by the Vancouver Hells Angels. Michael Bukelish was in charge of logistics and held the connections. So Sergey Filonov was killed for stealing a drug shipment from the Vancouver Hells Angels. 30 kilos of cocaine.
During Tara Filonov’s abduction—and before he was executed—he was interrogated. He claimed Zeke was behind the narcotics theft in Tacoma. Did Tara Filonov lie? You tell me. When you torture someone they will tell you whatever you want them to say. The claim was made and that is why Zeke was killed. The Vietnamese had nothing to do with it. As I said it was somewhat ironic Rainbow Ricky Ciarniello lead the Zeke memorial run for all those years when he himself was behind Zeke's murder.
Roger wasnt in the club but he could have been if he wanted he was as powerful as a member or even moreso infact. He was mirdered at rhe Turf Hotel bar in Surrey while drinking with his son. He was a freak of nature and one scary guy I have friends that grew up with him and tell me stories of him all the time.
ReplyDeleteYes he was an enforcer like Big Tony.
