Wasn't it Fenech and Fenech's manager that ripped of Alex Vella, leader of the Rebel's bikie gang, of a few million dollars over fraudulent loans to banks using Vella's property assets, money which Vella was able to recoup, a couple of years ago. I don't have any inside info but shots fired at Fenech's house and having his ear almost cut off two and two equals four if you ask me.
Nah that was Tony Caradonna mate..Im pretty sure he is in protective custody in jail and actually tried to avoid getting bailed.
Are you sure that was all it was? I saw the interviews and drama's and thought it was much more, but haven't caught anything on it since TBH.
As I said earlier in the thread I am good friends with the niece of Fenech's first wife. She was absolutely adamant that it was linked to the incident in Brighton..the police quietly thought so aswell. They apparently surmised that all the talk going around about how Fenech was connected to the underworld, sorta spooked these guys into taking pre-emptive action to really shake up Fenech..when the thugs who stabbed Fenech were being bailed at a cop shop about 30 of their mates turned up prepared to brawl anyone who wanted revenge on them. Apparantly they had recieved death threats aswell. I cant really be 100% sure..its all unsubstaniated..but there really isnt any other evidence to support the other theories either and as I said according to my friend most of his family and friends seem to think it was because of this bull**** at Brighton.
That's pretty shocking to hear...I always thought Fenech was a rough guy, but with a soft heart. Sometimes I wonder why I still give a **** about this sport. :-(
Sorry mate, i didn't see your connection earlier. You'd know more than me. Bottom line tho is that Fenech is a thug. Rough upbringing sometimes never leaves. It's most of what made him great, of course.
I didn't enjoy it at the time, but can see the irony Nelson and Don King made him cry after the first fight, too lol
