Former City of Vaughan mayor Michael Di Biase has lost his bid to "buy" a Canadian Judge despite Mafia links and pressure applied by Hell's Angels in the form of call-girls, illicit drugs and the torture-death of the Judge's spaniel dog.
Di Biase first made headlines in Vaughan (the city north of Toronto) after being caught by municipal police for the fifth time running red traffic signals. Each case, including the last, had been thrown out of court on technicalities.
After a Toronto Star newspaper story concerning the loss of the ticket summons by the court on the fifth offence, Mr. Di Biase defended his ignorance of red lights, saying,
"I'm the mayor, and I'm always in a hurry."
Di Biase lost the mayor's seat to an incumbent who had exposed his extensive pre-election gifts to Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty and his brother David, a federal Cabinet Minister, at a lavish eight course dinner hosted by one of Di Biase's Mafia land-developer buddies, who just happens to live down the street from Michael.
Roger Anderson, chairman of Durham Region, has no such worries as Di Biase. Not only is Anderson able to live in the back pockets of developers who want to build in the regional municipality, he is appointed rather than elected.
