Sources say deported triad leader has returned after murder of top-level
gang member
By SARAH KENNEDY, SUN MEDIA
Known members of ruthless triads have flown in from Asia to "clean up house"
and attend the funeral of a high-level city gangster murdered in Calgary,
Sun sources say.
A leader of the Kunglok triad, Ceaser Lin, referred to by Calgary Asian
gangsters as the Godfather and deported from Canada about seven years ago
for organized crime activities, is back in town following the shooting death
of Dou Foo Minh, a longtime associate of the gang has told the Sun.
Minh was gunned down Friday outside a home in the Hamptons neighbourhood in
the city's northwest and news of his death has sparked fears of severe
retaliation within the ranks of the gang.
Several members of the triads began arriving in Calgary Friday night from
Asia, Los Angeles and Vancouver, the source said.
"The Godfather is back in town," the source said.
"He's here to clean up house and he still holds a lot of power ... There
will be reprisals and I'd say it's going to be worse than the biker wars."
The China-based triads are highly organized and ruthless gangs, said a
police source.
"They will resort to severe violence and they've upped the ante in
retaliation," he said.
Asian gang expert and former Calgary police officer Henry Hollinger said
prior to Lin's deportation for a criminal record that included a
manslaughter conviction and racketeering, he and Dou Foo Minh ran an
underground gambling house in the city's Chinatown.
"I talked to these guys about every night for 10 years -- I knew them well,"
said Hollinger.
"Ceaser Lin was the biggest gangster in town before he was deported --
everyone in Chinatown knew him and they called him the Godfather."
Hollinger said Minh's death could mean a very violent summer.
"Calgary will have a hot summer coming with gang shootings and murder," he
said from his home in Vietnam. "This execution created a real vacuum that
will be filled by the strongest leader.
"This is blowing the whole Asian crime scene open in Calgary."
No arrests have been made in the murder of Minh.
