ESCAPED killer Rabih (Robby) Alkhalil has been reportedly re-arrested abroad.
The news was first reported by The Dirty News (thedirtynewz.com) a day ago.
(UPDATE: The Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit – British Columbia (CFSEU-BC) and the RCMP Federal Policing Pacific Region (FPPR) announced on Sunday that they will hold a news conference “detailing updates into the Rabih Alkhalil escape investigation” on Monday at 1 p.m.)
On October 18, 2022, the BOLO program in cooperation with Metro Vancouver Crime Stoppers, announced a reward up to $250,000 for any information leading to the arrest of Alkhalil. The reward was available only until May 1, 2023.
The BOLO website said: “During the evening hours of Thursday, July 21, the RCMP were called to the North Fraser Pretrial Centre in Port Coquitlam for the escape of Rabih Alkhalil, a high-profile prisoner.
“Alkhalil was standing trial for murder when he escaped with the assistance of two accomplices posing as contractors.
“Alkhalil is wanted on Canada-wide warrants for murder, conspiracy to commit murder, and being unlawfully at large. He is a very dangerous criminal with a lengthy criminal record and extensive ties to organized crime. An Interpol Red Notice has been issued for him.
“In 2017, an Ontario judge sentenced Alkhalil to life in prison for the first-degree murder of a man in a Toronto coffee shop. He was also given a concurrent sentence of 20 years for conspiracy to commit murder.
“In 2020, in Quebec, Alkhalil was sentenced to eight years in prison for drug trafficking.
“On August 30, 2022, after his escape from the North Fraser Pretrial Centre, a jury found Alkhalil guilty of first-degree murder, the crime for which he was standing trial in B.C.”
A B.C. Supreme Court jury found Hells Angel Larry Amero guilty of conspiracy to commit murder in the shooting death of Sandip “Dip” Duhre at Downtown Vancouver’s Sheraton Wall Centre on January 17, 2012, and the homicide of Sukhveer (Sukh) Dhak who was gunned down along with his bodyguard, Thomas Mantel, in the lobby of the Executive Hotel and Conference Center in the 4200-block of Lougheed Highway in Burnaby on November 26, 2012.
Sandip Duhre
Alkhalil was found guilty of conspiracy and first-degree murder in Duhre’s death and guilty of plotting to murder Dhak.
Back then, the gangland conflict was mainly between the United Nations gang and all the remnants and allies of the Dhak-Duhre side of things — and the so-called Wolf Pack: certain Hells Angels like Larry Amero and their allies and associates, the Independent Soldiers and the people that they brought to the equation and the Red Scorpions.
Red Scorpion leader Jonathan Bacon was gunned down in Kelowna on August 14, 2011, when Amero was also seriously injured. Alkhalil and Amero were accused of seeking revenge.
Three of Alkhalil’s brothers have been killed in gangland conflicts. Nabil Alkhalil, 42, was shot dead in a suburb of Mexico City in 2018. He had left B.C. for Mexico in 2013 after he was threatened with deportation for cocaine trafficking.
Khalil Alkhalil, 19, was shot to dead in Surrey in 2001 during a conflict over a $200 drug debt; and Mahmoud Alkhalil, 19, was killed in a gangland shoot-out in the Loft Six nightclub in Vancouver’s Gastown in 2003.
In April 2024, the Bolo Program announced an update of its Top 25 and the #4 suspect was revealed to be Rabih Alkhalil, wanted for murder and being unlawfully at large. A reward of up to $100,000 was announced for any information leading to his arrest.
