Nazim Gillani, who partied and discussed government grants with former MP Rahim Jaffer, has talked a lot about being a banker for the Hells Angels in Vancouver.

Gillani boasted of this to people in Toronto who crossed him, and Friday two people affiliated with the organized crime group said they were happy to see Gillani leave British Columbia.

As the Star reported this week, both men discussed Jaffer's ability to provide businesses with government "green grants" at various business meetings, one with a trio of high-class escorts.

According to one source (a businessman who lost hundreds of thousands of dollars to Gillani), Gillani remarked in October that he was "out with Helena Guergis and Rahim" at a dinner. This was about three weeks after Jaffer was charged with speeding, drunk driving and cocaine possession. Whether Guergis knew about Gillani's background is also unclear.

1. Rather like Bernier's girlfriend

Who also had connections with the Hell's Angels. Coincidence? It makes you think.

2. The drug connection seems significant

"A man who claimed he was owed $150,000 by Gillani spotted the dodgy financier coming out of Smiley O'Neils pub in Vancouver. The man, who spoke to the Star Friday – he does not want his name used because he was never investigated by police for the beating – confronted Gillani, threw him into a stone fountain, breaking his cheekbone and nose. Shortly after that, Gillani started carrying a gun, a .22 pistol. Police on a routine stop discovered the gun and charged Gillani with carrying a weapon. Gillani left town shortly after and set up shop in a rented $1 million house on Kipling Ave. in Etobicoke."

Hell's Angels, money laundering, debts of $150,000 to 'businessmen' who break bones, carrying of pistols, Jaffer found possessing cocaine - this is certainly consistent with high stakes drug dealing.

3. At least 2 connections of the Hell's Angels & Conservatives

have popped up now. I wonder if there are any more?

Certainly not the crowd politicians should be seen with anyway, especially considering their law-and-order and anti-drug policies!

4. And not just any Conservatives

Cabinet ministers and MPs.
