Raffaele Imperiale And The Song He Is Singing For The Authorities (6/28/24)
Raffaele Imperiale is a high-profile Italian criminal associated with the Camorra, an organized crime syndicate. He was arrested in Dubai in August 2021 based on an INTERPOL Red Notice. Imperiale was wanted for drug trafficking and organized crime activities, having been a significant figure in the international drug trade and associated with notorious criminals like Daniel Kinahan.
Following his arrest, Imperiale was extradited to Italy in March 2022. Recently, reports indicate that Imperiale has decided to cooperate with authorities. This cooperation involves providing valuable information about the criminal networks he was involved with, which is expected to have significant implications for ongoing investigations into organized crime activities.

What's up everyone and welcome back to the program. Recently we were talking about the Kinahan Cartel, the Super Cartel, over in Europe, and how the Super Cartel was busted up, and how one of the top men in that Super Cartel, who was in charge of bundling a lot of the money, Raphael in Piriali, was detained by authorities, and how that was a significant threat for the Kinahan Cartel and the Super Cartel overall. Well, now we're learning that we were on the mark when we were talking about him being busted and it being a big deal, because according to sources, Raphael in Piriali, well he is broken the code and he has been talking to the authorities and snitching on his friends. So let's dive into this article from Sunday World and let's get ourselves caught up. Headline, Omertha over, Kinahan ally Raphael in Piriali spills beans on the Super Cartel, League statements reveal. This article was authored by Neil Featherstona. One of Daniel Kinahan's allies in Europe's Super Cartel, Raphael in Piriali, has started to spill the beans on his gangster pals, telling investigators how one of them gave me 300 kilos of cocaine. Never a good idea to snitch on people like the Kinahan Cartel. What I will say though, is with their power being pushed back a little bit, it's a bit safer to do this now than it ever was before. However, you're talking about the Super Cartel here and we're talking about Albanians, we're talking about all kinds of people who really have no patience for people that are going to be out here talking to the authorities. So the EU authorities better have their shit on point and they better have Mr. in Piriali on lockdown. Since he was extradited from the desert bolt hole in Dubai to his native Italy in March 2022, the notorious mob boss known as the King of the Narcos has turned Bantito Supergrass aka Brobecame a Snitch. He has now become stayed witness against the Komoda, the drug mafia he was a high ranking member of for over two decades. Yeah, not the right kind of guys to piss off. Considering what we have seen from the Komoda throughout time, I wouldn't be very comfortable if I was Mr. in Piriali. But he was looking at forever in a day behind bars, right? So when you're looking at that kind of sentence, a lot of times it's going to make you do some shit that you never thought you'd be able to do like rat on your buddies. And we see it in America all the time, and all of it has to do with here in America anyway, the Rico laws. When you have the predicates that are as vicious as the Rico laws are here in America, you end up having people falling all over themselves to Snitch first so that they get a good deal, and that was the whole entire point of putting Rico on the books. However, New Leaked Memos published in Dutch media show how Imperiali has also made statements to Dutch police about international traffickers. Imperiali is also believed to have been a top of the drug cartel that included the Kinahan, the Dutch criminal Ridewan Toggy, and Bosnian drug trafficker Eden Gossonin among its leaders. The document show how the Italian gangster gave a detailed statement about his involvement with Dutch Chilean criminal Richard Elorico Vega. Elorico was one of the Daniel Kinahan's closest criminal contacts. The Dutch news site, Het Perul, revealed two months ago that Imperiali was interrogated in September of 2023 in the Orinus investigation in Elorico's criminal organization. I'm at Rico in 2008, and Imperiali told investigators according to Het Perul. When he came out of prison, he was well known in the criminal world because he had served time in Germany without mentioning the names of others. When he came out of prison, he was abandoned by his own people with whom he worked. He had no money then, he was completely broke as we say in Italy. However, Imperiali claims by the time Elorico moved to Dubai, he was a wealthy man from the drugs trade. When Rico moved to Dubai, he had a large significant capital, 80 million euros or 100 million, which he had a mass from entering into joint ventures with the Colombian cartels. And this is what I've been telling you folks for quite some time. This is all connected to transnational criminal groups, especially when we're talking about narcos, it's all interlocked. All of these dudes are connected, and there's no way that they can't be, right? How else are these cartels going to get product if they don't have contacts in South America? Now they could use a middleman, but if you're powerful and you have this kind of money, the idea is to cut the middleman out and have your own people down there negotiating on your behalf. That way you're not paying any other fees, you're making as much money as possible, and let's be clear that's the whole entire point for these cartels. Bring in as much money as possible. As by investigating officers if Rico and Imperiali had acted together in the cocaine trade, the Italian replied, no not directly, but in 2016, he facilitated me, he gave me 300 kilos of cocaine to help me. And that's what'll happen in this business, right? You make enough connections, you'll end up getting fronts if that's what you're looking for, but that comes with a whole host of problems. Now you're responsible for the whole package, you're responsible for everything, and if something goes wrong, well, you better pay up. Or the next thing you know, the saccarios, they're going to come knocking. I didn't work with them, he's South American, they need entrances in the Dutch ports, and they have their own channels, I use my own contacts. I mean, there was no connection in the true sense of the word, but there was mutual respect between the two of us, also a friendly contact, not just work related, well, it was more friendly. Imperiali was one of a number of European criminals who agreed to work together to import cocaine from their base in Dubai. And if you think the Middle East, and these oligarchs in the Middle East have no idea what's going on, you're crazy. There is gigantic drug empires right there smack dab in the middle of Islam. And anybody who tells you any different, they have no idea what they're talking about, or they're lying to you. Just take a look at the capagon market, just take a look at what Hezbollah's up to when it comes to the narcotics trade. They're basically nothing more than a narco organization. Oh, I know there's people out there, all their freedom fighters and this at the other thing bullshit. These dudes are about that though, they're trying to get that back, and they have mad contacts down in South America, and in the coming weeks, we're going to dive a whole lot more and untangle the not known as Hezbollah, when it comes to the narcotics world. Because it's important, right? It's important that we know the deal. And if we don't know all the players that are playing the game, then how can we keep score? We have to know all the players if we're going to know the stats, and there's no doubt about it. Hezbollah is one of those players. The group was observed having meetings in the Burjal Arab Hotel in Dubai in 2017, and attended Daniel Kinahan's wedding there. It's alleged that in Piriali alongside Kinahan, Richard Elrico Vega, Tagi, and another in-prison Dutch drug lord, Navel Belly Fassa, were part of the cartel which dominated Europe's drug trade. Elrico, whose nickname means "The Rich One," was sentenced in 2021 to 11 years in prison for leading a criminal organization that carried out assassinations and engaged in money laundering. He was later acquitted of drug trafficking charges, but he is said to have ties with Colombian drug cartels, having spent a lot of time in Chile, and provided Italians with a large shipment of drugs. Look, there's no doubt about it. If you're spending time down here in South America, and you're part of a drug organization, you're going to be running into these Colombians who are facilitating all of these drugs. That's how this works. And for something like this, to really be effective, meaning a cartel like this, an organization like this, you have to have pieces everywhere. From the logistics, all the way to, this stuff arriving in port, wherever it's destined to go. And there are a lot of steps in between that people don't even realize. It's a whole-ass process to get these loads from South America to a place like Ireland or Europe, and it takes a whole lot in between to make that happen. According to Imperiali, Rico then went to work for a man known as British Billy and the Amsterdam criminal Mink Koch in a collaboration that was regarded as kind of a joint venture. Koch is a long-term associate of Christie Kinahan Sr. and the pair have worked together since the 1990s in Amsterdam. When Mink Koch was arrested in Lebanon in 2011 in Imperiali in form Rico that he still owed 52 million euros to Koch's organization. Now remember how I was just talking about the Middle East? We're going to continue to see connections as we continue to dive deeper into this topic. There are a lot of connections when it comes to the Middle East and these extremist groups and the narco world. However, El Rico appeared to know nothing about this, and according to Imperiali, this was one of the main reasons why Rico distanced himself from Billy and Mink, and that's how the friction between them started. Imperiali then says from what I understood Billy and Mink wanted to get rid of Rico. The Amsterdam criminal Samira Scarface Buya Karitchen, who was assassinated in 2014, was also allegedly involved in the plans to murder Rico. It's always your friends in this world, right? It's always somebody that you trust the most that puts a bullet directly in your face. Scarface was one of those people who facilitated Mink and Billy to kill Rico because Ziggy was one of Scarface's men. He should have been the man who arranged Rico's murder. Ziggy is Najib Himic, who disappeared without a trace in the autumn of 2014. His wife Luanna looves Xavier, which shot dead in front of her young children, and am still veen on December 8, 2014. When I saw that far too many people were dying, I said to myself, "Now I have to be careful not to get caught in this war," Imperiali says. That's kind of crazy to think about, considering what he was involved in. You have to think that the violence is on its way, right? I played doubles, I hung out with Billy and Rico, and I kept them both as friends, and then later I would decide who to continue with, and in the end I continued with Rico and I left Billy. According to the Italian, this was a one-off deal. The Dutch prosecutors are very interested in the question of whether Rico had planned to kill Karim, Boy Karitian, the older brother of the murdered Samir, in Dubai, had parole reports. Public prosecution service had access to chats in which Rico and Rafael Imperiali discuss having Karim murdered by ninjas with knives. According to Imperiali, the word ninjas is slang that Colombian drug traffickers use to describe hitmen. However, according to Imperiali, the plan should be taken with a grain of salt. "I don't think it was serious," Imperiali says. "Rico would only have wanted to demonstrate his power with the plan. I was in complete control. I knew this would never happen. It was just a game, a psychological power game, a strategic game between groups. But I'll say it again, and that's not to defend the people because outside of the United Emirates, anywhere else in the world where the opportunity had arisen if it had been necessary those guys would have been killed." It has further emerged that Lello, as Rafael Imperiali is known, has been talking about other criminal pals to Dutch officials. For the time being, it seems that Lello tells a lot, but says little incriminating. Leon Van Cleef, a lawyer for El Rico, dismissed Imperiali's statements. "The criterion is whether he is a member of a criminal organization. My client doesn't think so," Van Cleef said. Imperiali stated that he received 300 kilos from my client. "I'll buy a loaf of bread from the bakery. I'm not a member of his organization." Okay, I guess. I mean, if that's the kind of argument you're going to try and use, but I'm guessing there's a lot more to connect these dudes. And as this investigation continues, and Imperiali continues to sing that song, we'll continue to get the catalog updated and keep on top of things. But that's going to do it for this one.
