    Charges over gangland death
    By Dan Harrison
    April 28, 2006 - 9:54AM

    Police have charged a 41-year-old Melton resident with the murder of a man closely linked to Melbourne's gangland war.

    Craig Vella was remanded in custody overnight and will appear in the Melbourne Magistrates Court this morning, Senior Constable Carla Coslovich of the police media unit said.

    Mr Vella was charged with allegedly stabbing Michael Phillip Dewhirst, 31, of Melton South, during an argument in Melton about 3:15pm yesterday.

    Mr Dewhirst was stabbed in the stomach in the altercation with two men in Palmerston St, which is believed to have been a drug deal gone wrong.

    Dewhirst, who was described by a Supreme Court judge in 2001 as having "little prospect of rehabilitation", was a close associate of Dina Dibra, who became a victim of Melbourne's gangland war when he was shot dead outside his West Sunshine home on October 14, 2000.

    -----------------------------------

    I think this Dewhirst guy one of the guys involved in the nightclub shooting of 2000, along with Dino Dibra. It said in the paper the other day his IQ was 87. Chrrrrrist!!!

    Cartel joins Mokbel hunt
    By CARLY CRAWFORD
    07may06

    A RUTHLESS band of Mexican drug runners has joined the international hunt for fugitive millionaire Tony Mokbel, an underworld source says.

    A business associate of the convicted drug baron believes a Mexican cartel of former soldiers, known as the "Zetas", is on Mokbel's trail.
    "Some of the people Tony is in business with are hunting him in the Middle East," the source said this week. "There is one man, who they call El Cactus, who runs the cartel.

    "He is a very dangerous man. They call him cactus because you don't want to get too close to him."

    The Mexican gang is said to be linked to Columbian drug lords.

    The source says he wants the claims made public so more people can join the search. Mokbel vanished in March during his trial for cocaine trafficking. He was sentenced in absentia to at least nine years' jail.

    He is listed on Interpol's wanted database and a police taskforce has been formed to find him.

    He was accused of orchestrating a cocaine smuggling bid that police thwarted in 2000. It emerged during the trial that one of the middlemen Mokbel had used was connected to the Mexican drug cartel Arellano Felix.

    The ultra-violent, US-trained paramilitary commandos known as the "Zetas" have been held responsible for hundreds of murders along the US-Mexico border this year.

    Just back from the coast so been away from Melbourne's madness for a few month's lol

    Now lets crack on.

    Dewhirst will be no great loss as he was always just a hanger on with that dog Dibra, if young Benji did any good in his life it was putting off Dibra.

    As for the Zetas after the fat one, well good luck to him if its true "he'll fuckin need it".


    And as for old Keithy rolling over, from what I have been hearing is that he is a broke man, I guess even the hardest crim can brake after two years 23 hours a day locked up by yourself, but then again if you live by the code then you should die by it. Keith is the same now as he has always been, always thinking about himself, well I guess what goes around comes back around as he gave a bloke a choice years ago to plead guilty to a murder that he did so Keith could walk, the poor cunt did a good bit of jail over that. Keith has been behind about 8 murders that I know of over the years but with only 2 manslaughter charges his luck has ran out, about time to.

    It's also come to light that Mokbel paid Benji to knock Victor Peirce lol fuck the papers are slow on this one.

    It's old news the Victor took a contract to kill this informer that is now on the run, Vic set fire to his car on the Port Melbourne docks after taking half the payment but didn't knock the bloke then he went on to take a contract from Mokbel & Williams to knock Jason Moran but Vic and Jason being old mates, he warned him but still took half the cash off Mokbel & Williams and never gave it back so Benji was called in to put Vic off. Terence Chimmeri drove Benji to Port Melbourne that afternoon, as Chimmeri pulled the car up beside Victor's, Vic tried to get out of the car and Benji got out and shot him then put Victor back into his own car. Victor had bullet holes in his arms from trying to shield himself from the shots.

    As we all know Chimmeri is still free as the cops can't prove or maybe don't want prove that he was the driver, after all Vic did plan Walsh Street.

    No probs.

    The main reason Benji put off PK was so that Carl Williams and Benji could take over PK's empire which was the drugs in the Western Suburbs.

    Dibra always thought that he would take over from PK so he had to go. He was also taking the piss with bouncers in the city that worked for a few heavy people and word was going round that a fella that has a few clubs put out a $50,000 contract on him but that wasn't what got him killed, Benji killed him because he was in the way and had to go.

    Dino was always pumped full of steroids and was a coke head and the two just don't go well, he also pulled guns in clubs and shot a few of his old mates in the legs in his drug fucked states a real dickhead that was always going to be put off sooner or later.

    Dino Dibra grew up with Benji and PK, PK kind of took the two along with a few other under his wing. They ran all the drugs in Sunshine and a few other suburbs, when PK when down over a murder blue Benji and the rest started to rent out houses and grow dope in them along with ripping off other crops and dealers. Dibra also was involved in a stolen car ring and a local chop shop, later on Dibra hooked up with Carl Williams and Rocco Arico and Benji hooked up with Mark Moran and Mick Gatto.

    Dibra was only a low level thug at the end of the day and not long before Benji used his head for a bit of the old target practice the word was going round that Dibra had gone dog as he seemed to be walking from charges and was being giving bail when people had been getting put in the boob on remand for the same charge.

    Thanks for that, now it makes sense. In the Bulletin writeup on Kallipolitis it said that if Williams wanted to do business in the western suburbs then basically it was Kallipolitis that they needed permission from

    PK doesn't get too much of a mention these days but it seems before Williams, he was the main guy out that neck of the woods

    Good question. Williams was shot for supplying the Morans with sub standard shit so he was cooking it for the Morans at one point?

    Carl and his old boy George were both involved in cooks and had many
    people for whom they were supplying......yet, many people had invested
    in these cooks, such as the Morans who gave the cash for the cook to start
    then complained about the final product............Mokbel was also involved, as
    he put the cash for many cooks as was getting busy supplying Meth, and used
    the cash to purchase pills, etc..........

    Carl & George were cooking shit for The Moran's, Mokbel and anyone else with cash or the ingredients and also had backing from The Rebels MC, that's why there was two Rebels at Benji's funeral. The Moran's had some backing from the Hells Angels at one point if I remember right.

    PK was the main man in the western suburbs for coke, speed and ecstasy.

    Carl & George had Brody and a few other suburbs but were close to Mokbel and his lot from there time in jail together.

    Radev & his lot had Coburg and a bit of white collar crime.

    The Moran's and The Carton Crew had Essendon, Ascot Vale and the suburbs around them along with standing over clubs and gambling, old Lewis also dealt with Mokbel on the odd job.

    Willy Thompson & Michael Marshall had Port Melbourne and the leafy suburbs around the city along side Marshall selling from his hot dog van outside clubs and Willy had bouncers deal for him on doors of clubs.


    Its a very tangled web and all of the players dealt with each other at some point and some were even close at some point.

    Mokbel and the Williams lot just wanted it all and decided to get rid of the rest. Some like Marshall were killed because they were $200,000 in debt to Williams, others like The Moran's it was personal for shooting Carl Williams. Mokbel was bashed as we all know and Benji followed him over to his and the Williams side from the Carlton Crew, with that Benji hooked up allot of the Sunshine lot with the Mokbel & Williams lot so what they had was 3 crews with Benji, Rod Collins and Brincat as there hitmen.

    Keithy and his brother were used as a last resort what with Brincat in jail and Benji as dead as a door nail and Rod Collins in jail on a gun charge.

    We should do up a time line chart on the killings i.e who done it, the reason and who paid for it over the years as I think that would clear up a few points.

    I think we all know who was killed but as allot of people and also the posts on Wikpedia, The Age and so on don't tell is who was behind it and why in-depth without the bullshit.

    We will focus on the underworld figures involved in this so called war but not on figures such as Steve Gulyas or Lee Torney or John Furlan as they was just killings that had nothing to do with the rest that have been linked.

    I know where Mokbel is: insider
    Keith Moor
    19may06

    THE whereabouts of fugitive drug boss Tony Mokbel are still a mystery two months after he disappeared.

    Police don't know where he is or how he fled.
    They have received information from various sources as to where Mokbel might be and what his escape route might have been.

    But they have so far been unable to confirm any of them.

    "The bottom line is we don't know where he is," AFP national manager Mike Phelan told the Herald Sun yesterday.

    "While we are following a range of different inquiries, both domestically and overseas. If we knew where Mokbel was we would be doing everything necessary to bring him back to Victoria to serve his sentence."

    The Herald Sun has provided the AFP with information obtained from a convicted criminal who believes he knows where Mokbel is and how he got there.

    He has known Mokbel for several years and also knew murdered drug dealers Lewis Moran, his son Jason and stepson Mark. All three Moran gang members were killed during Melbourne's underworld war.

    The AFP has asked the Herald Sun not to reveal precise details of Mokbel's alleged route and destination nominated by the insider.

    "We are still investigating it," Mr Phelan said. "It is one of a number of scenarios that have been put to us from various sources both in Australia and overseas."

    The Moran gang insider said the escape route he believes Mokbel used was established several years ago as an insurance policy by the father-son drug team of Lewis and Jason Moran in case police, or underworld enemies, got too close for comfort.

    Both Morans were killed -- Jason, 36, in June 2003 and his father Lewis, 58, in March 2004.

    Mokbel used to be close to the Morans, but had a falling out and was recently implicated in the murder of Lewis Moran.

    The insider said he was aware of at least two Moran gang members who successfully used the escape plan to get out of the country.

    "I would be very surprised if Mokbel hasn't now used it," he said. "Mokbel was certainly one of only a handful of people, including me, trusted enough to not only know what the escape plan was but also who to call to swing it into action."

    The insider said Mokbel knew how to contact people in Australia and overseas who could implement various stages of the escape plan.

    Each was prepared to accept cash to organise their part of it -- and not ask questions about who the client was. And while each of them knew exactly what to do in relation to their part in the plan, they were not aware of the other stages.

    He said he had witnessed discussions between Moran gang members about the escape plan.

    "Mokbel was certainly aware of it and knew it had worked in the past without authorities discovering it," the insider said.

    He said Mokbel would have been prepared to serve his jail time over the cocaine importation he was recently convicted of.

    "He would have expected to cop about five years for the cocaine job and could have handled that much time inside," the insider said.

    But he claimed Mokbel discovered one of Victoria's most notorious hitmen had turned police informer and was implicating him in Melbourne's underworld murders.

    He said Mokbel feared the Victoria Police Purana gangland killing taskforce was close to charging him with financing at least one of the executions.

    "That made fleeing very attractive," the insider said.

    Supreme Court judge Bill Gillard confirmed after Mokbel fled that Mokbel was a murder suspect.

    "I refer in particular to the revelation that the Victorian police were investigating Mr Mokbel's alleged involvement in a gangland murder and had made a decision to arrest him in respect to the crime," he said on April 26.

    Mokbel disappeared shortly before he was convicted of smuggling 1.93kg of pure cocaine into Victoria from Mexico. He was sentenced in his absence on March 31 to 12 years' jail and ordered to serve a minimum of nine.

    AFP agent Jarrod Ragg told the Supreme Court on April 19 that Mokbel was believed to have transferred $20 million overseas since his release on bail in November 2002. He said the AFP had also received information Mokbel had several passports in false names.

    "Mokbel is the head of a Lebanese organised crime syndicate based in Melbourne," his statement to the Supreme Court said.

    "Mokbel has sufficient contacts and financial resources to support a fugitive lifestyle overseas."

    Mokbel's lawyer, Con Heliotis, QC, has raised concerns his client may have been murdered or abducted, but federal agent Ragg said police had nothing to indicate Mokbel had met with foul play or was being held against his will.

    He said all the evidence pointed to Mokbel having absconded.

    "Mokbel has been named by a Victoria Police informant as having paid for a contract murder and provided the firearms to commit the murder," federal agent Ragg's statement to the Supreme Court said.

    "A statement had been provided to this effect and is suspected to have been made available to Mokbel by his former solicitor and current girlfriend Zarah Garde-Wilson."

    Justice Gillard said Mokbel was believed to have become aware of the contents of the Victoria Police statement on March 14 -- five days before he disappeared.

    "Australian Federal Police were told on Friday, 17 March, 2006, that Victorian police proposed to arrest the prisoner and charge him with being involved in the murder," Justice Gillard said.

    A second warrant to arrest Mokbel was issued by magistrate Phillip Goldberg on April 20 after Mokbel failed to appear at the Melbourne Magistrates' Court for inciting others to import drug-making chemicals.

    The AFP charged Mokbel in October last year over alleged attempts to organise a shipment of chemicals to make ecstasy.

    Mokbel was the first person in Australia to be charged with inciting others to import a drug.

    He was on bail for other drug offences when the AFP nabbed him on the inciting charge.

    Mokbel was carrying $40,000 in cash in a bag and had six mobile phones with him when the AFP swooped.

    Mokbel appeal on $1m bail
    From: AAP
    May 26, 2006

    THE sister-in-law of fugitive drug dealer Tony Mokbel has initiated proceedings to appeal against an order for her to pay $1 million surety she provided for his bail, a Melbourne court was told today.

    Renata Mokbel provided $1 million worth of property as surety for her brother-in-law's bail after he was charged with drug trafficking.
    In April, Victorian Supreme Court Justice Bill Gillard ordered Mrs Mokbel pay the $1 million surety after he found Mokbel had failed to observe his bail conditions.

    In the Supreme Court today, Justice Gillard said Mrs Mokbel had filed an application with the court to rescind his order on May 16.

    Justice Gillard ordered a stay on the original court order pending the outcome of the application.

    Mrs Mokbel, who was not in court today, was originally given 31 days to pay the $1 million.

    The court previously heard that sources had told police Tony Mokbel transferred $20 million overseas before fleeing the country.

    He was reported missing after he failed to appear at the end of his Supreme Court trial on March 20.

    He was subsequently found guilty and sentenced to 12 years' jail for importing 2kg of pure cocaine from Mexico to Melbourne in late 2000.

    hi, guys new to this forum and read some of the stuff son of sly said about Dino Dibra, you need to learn a thing or two about respect mate, i think you have no idea what your about, Dino Dibra was noo dog, he was the real deal, and he should have popped benji (who was nothing more than a drop kick, need i mention that got bashed by his own security mates in king street) while he had the chance. Dino had balls, Dino had ambition and Dino had a heart of gold to with it all. Dino Dibra never worked with police, Dino Dibra never gave information to the police in fact the only thing Dino Dibra had in common with the police was the mutual hate between them. Benji learnt his ways and tricks by the man who brought him onto the scene, yes that is Dino Dibra. Clearly Benji had no respect for the man who made him what he was to become, the man who showed him the way. Now Benji is a man who u can refer to as a dog, he would pop any one, friend ship didnt count, money was more important than anything to him, he wouldve popped his own mother if someone offered him a dollar or two to do so. That short little dweeb got what was coming to him, what can i say? other than BLESS GATTOS HAND fot putting down a mutt that shouldve never been born in the first place.

At the end of the day our comments are biased due to personal opinion...we know not enough to start making judgements. Judgement is in gods hands. The only thing that should be gained from all this is the lesson of the tragedy of the lives lost, each and every one who was killed during that "gangland war" had friends and family. Its time to let go and understand that glorifying anyone of the lifestyles of these characters is only going to make more damage to future generations, giving them ideas to work on, characters to look up to after all do we really want to see more people dead and especially at the age some of these guys died at. I personally beleive we should work on educating people on the fact that these guys are dead, they did die young, their lives were not glorious and that many families and friends are left behind to forever mourn what they lost.

    Have any of you ever actually met Dino Dibra? The reason I ask is that everywhere I've looked people have said he was a nutcase who couldn't control himself. But I'd love to hear from someone who actually knew the bloke and let me know what he was actually like. Thanks.

      It's true he was kinda a nutcase when he was on drugs.... He was a nice bloke when you got to know him.. So full of life he thought he was gonna rule the world (like most of his mates) then Benji fucked him over... I still think of him today...

  57. I'm a local in Sunshine and came across Dino a couple of times he was only a nutcase when he was hooked on drugs.... Who actually shot him? I've been hearing it was Radev, Zayat and someone else but then everyone seems to think it was Benji, PK and Auciello who did it?

    Dino's mate Michael Dewhirst was crazy. He king hit me in my early 20s because I kicked a goal on him in a primary school grand final in '85.

  62. ok so I'm still interested in a lot of this Gangland stuff and keen to here what others think about it. So to get the ball rolling

    Stephen John Asling has been charged with the murder of Graham "The Munster" Kinniburgh.

    I don't know too much about Asling so anyone know who he was associated with? was it a contracted hit? if so by who? I don't think it was Williams to be honest. Anyone have any other info regarding anything?

    I read somewhere that a hitman was released a few months ago and was prominent in the Underworld War any idea who that would be? Alf Traglia comes to mind? Vic Brincat sure not? TH?

    What ever happened to Damien Cossu?

    A bit unrelated to the MU but Chris Orfanidis bashed a man to death back in June/July. I don't think the man had anything to do with the MU more of just a road rage incident.

    Orfanidis was an associate of Williams' and was one of the 7 men that tortured Mark Mallia. He hung around the likes of Damien Cossu, Hizir Ferman, Robert Musso in Barwon.

    He was shot probably going back 5 or so years ago now in Sunshine but survived.

    Anyone have anymore info about Orfanidis? Any other connections?

    You seem to know Mick & Craig?
    Mick was not a junkie as he was down to 2ml of methadone so you're wrong as was the narrow minded judge that said Mick had no chance of rehabilitation.
    Don't you negative try hard know it all's have something productive to waste your uneducated lives doing?¿?
    Having known Mick since primary school & having friends he'd known all his life in Melton, we ALL still love Mick & miss him & his charismatic charm & pisser of a sense of humour 💖 Mick was a fantastic daddy to his girls who adored him 💗
    U Private hiding behind your screen!!! Didn't your mother ever tell you it's bad karma to speak ill of the dead?¿ Little man felt it necessary to put his bullshit 2 bobs worth in.... For the notoriety?
    Now Vella on the other hand is a murdering junkie profile that gets very young under age girls addicted to heroin!!! Vile human being
