"Socalj" for Borderland Beat
Australia’s most wanted man, senior Hells Angel Angelo Pandeli, has reportedly been detained in Dubai. The drug kingpin was nabbed this past week, but it remains unclear whether he will be charged, according to Daily Mail Australia.
The 52-year-old is considered to be one of Australia’s biggest cocaine and methamphetamine importers and was recently identified as an ally of the Kinahan cartel. Pandeli left Australia in 2018 and is one of a number of criminals who have chosen to settle down in the UAE. Pandeli is also credited with bringing leaders of different gangs together for drug dealings using Dubai as their base. This comes just before he was expected to travel to Mexico for a major Hells Angels meeting.

Pandeli was due to travel to Cancun, Mexico for a major Hells Angels meeting set up by Canadian Hells Angels figure Marty Robert. He was due to meet with senior members of the biker group based internationally, which is expected to attract leaders from other motorcycle gangs interested in working with Hells Angels and to discuss drug importations into Australia.
