SeriouslyBert: Gurtaj Sandher and Sami El-Helou

Months ago there were rumours key Sandher operative Sami El-Helou would be indicted in the U.S., along with Gurtaj Singh Sandher. Sandher was pulled in for questioning after the U.S. reopened an investigation into the Dubai hit of Cetin Koç. Information flowed to U.S. cops after Joaquín Guzmán López delivered Sinaloa Cartel boss Ismael Zambada García 'El Mayo'.

Cetin Koç was hit seven times in the head and twice in the chest by Russian and Austrian weapons equipped with silencers. Koç died instantly, his car still running. Hit men Harpreet Singh Majhu and Orosman Jr. Garcia-Arevalo fled to the airport. They were on a plane back to Canada before Dubai cops fingered them as the killers. Cetin Koc used the identity of a shepherd in Turkey. The real name of the murdered drug lord was Parvis Kashavarz Omarabadi. Sami El-Helou was the taskmaster for the hit, working for Iranian drug lord Naji Sharifi Zindashti. Naji Sharifi Zindashti is a close associate of Sami El-Helou and a key supplier of heroin to the Sinaloa Cartel.

The day before the hit, Sami El-Helou met with Harpreet Singh Majhu and Orosman Garcia Arevalo, providing them with weapons, burner phones, and intelligence on the target.

Zindashti met with El-Helou a week before the murder. A year was put into it’s planning. El-Helou arranged the getaway car. He arranged the airport pickup of the assassins in a Rolls-Royce limo, which brought them to where he and Zindashti waited. Payment was in cryptocurrency. The hit was carried out the next day. Initally Gurtaj Singh Sandher was pegged as one of the gunmen.

Hitman Orosman Garcia Aravela was a friend of Gurtaj Sandher. Sandher was replaced by senior Brothers Keeper gangster Harpreet Majhu because he had not yet proven himself to the Sinaloa Cartel. He remedied that on Oct. 11, 2018 with the hit of Sumeet Singh Randhawa.

On May 11, 2016, a week after Koç's murder, a farmer found the body of Orosman Garcia Aravela.

Harpreet Majhu’s remains were found in a burnt-out car in Agassiz on June 10, 2016. The Brothers Keepers were ultimately hired by Naji Sharifi Zindashti.

Zindashti organizes killings on behalf of Iran.

The two Canadian killers were eliminated to silence their acquired knowledge. Their ties all led directly to Sami El-Helou.

Naji Sharifi Zindashti is an Iranian drug lord who leads "a network of individuals that targeted Iranian dissidents and opposition activists for assassination at the direction of the Iranian regime." Zindashti is involved in drug and human trafficking and has deep connections to the Islamic Republic's Revolutionary Guards. (IRGC)

In December 2022, he was honored by Iran's Education Ministry.

Zindashti escaped from an Iranian prison and fled to Turkey, where he established a cartel. He has worked for Iranian intelligence in various plots. Zindashti returned to Iran where he leads an opulent, free life. Zindashti's network is 'The Friends' Club', and includes senior IRGC officials, members of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, managers from Tehran Municipality, and members of parliament.
