The story behind the murder of a Canadian citizen in Sinaloa, Mexico, reveals how far links between organized crime networks in Canada and Mexico have been broken up by aggressive police work.
Police sources in British Columbia, Canada, confirmed that Salih Abdulaziz Sahbaz, in his mid-thirties, was the key cartel contact for the notorious United Nations Gang, also known as Global United Nations Syndicate (GUNS), which operates out of the city of Vancouver and the surrounding area.
The gang has recently forged links with the Hells Angels, as was indicated by sentencing in absentia of Omid Bayani on December 28, 2011, as the result of an investigation into the notorious biker gang. When Duane Harvey Meyer -- a former Hells Angels prospect and UN member -- was shot to death on May 8, 2009, members of both gangs attended the funeral.
