Henrico County Court Officials protected white "affluent, middle to upper class businessmen, lawyers, doctors" while targeting "people of color" for the same crimes.
An August 27, 2021 complaint filed in the Henrico County Circuit Court (CL21006572) against nine (9) attorneys gives evidence of a "White Nationalism" syndicate operating in the Henrico County Courts for over twenty-three (23) years, who protected "affluent white, middle to upper class businessmen, lawyers and doctors" from being prosecuted in a 600 kilo cocaine organization that operated in Richmond for over ten years.
"White Nationalism" is defined as the belief, theory, or doctrine that white people are inherently superior to people from all other racial and ethnic groups, and that in order to preserve their white, European, and Christian cultural identities, they need or deserve a segregated geographical area, preferential treatment, and special legal protections.
Former HCCA Howard C. Vick jr stated in the Richmond Times Dispatch that the 600 kilo cocaine operation involved "close circle of affluent middle- and upper-class business and professional associates" who distributed cocaine amongst each other.
Yet Henrico County officials charged and prosecuted three "people of color", out of forty (40) suspects who are white middle to upper class professionals in the Richmond area.
Randolph Cooper Kendall III (black) was sentenced to serve 15 years,
Hugh Edmond Williams (black) was sentenced to 6 years in prison,
Edmond Theodore Deeb (Lebanese) was sentenced to serve 6 months with work release.
Judge Lee A. Harris jr gave the harshest sentences to Kendall and Williams, the black defendants, while only issuing 6 months work release to Deeb (Lebanese).
The HC Court complaint states that Judge Lee A. Harris jr conspired with former Commonwealth Attorney and McGuireWoods partner Howard Vick to issue an order denying a court motion to have Nickolas Spanos extradited and transported from Greece to Henrico County to be prosecuted for the thirteen indictments for conspiracy to distribute cocaine. Vick claimed in Richmond Times Dispatch news articles that "Spanos was the hub of a 600 kilo cocaine organization that operated in the Richmond area for over ten years".
A source who worked with Howard Vick stated that Vick gave up to forty (40) "get out of jail free cards" to white, middle to upper class businessmen during the 600 kilo cocaine investigation.
The source also revealed that numerous files and evidence has gone missing from the Henrico County Commonwealth Attorney's Office, Henrico County Circuit Court Clerks office and the Henrico Police Department's evidence files.
Howard Vick gave extensive details of the cocaine organization of "affluent associates" and even stated a "black book" and computer containing the names and transactions of the business professionals was confiscated but Vick never charged any of the white professionals.
Vick in a meeting with Spanos and his attorney, told Spanos to "leave for Greece and never come back". Despite knowing the exact location of Spanos in Greece, Howard Vick never attempted to extradite or have Spanos deported, knowing that Spanos would reveal the names of the "affluent associates", which would mean prosecuting them.
Henrico Court filings show that Howard Vick used his influence to have the FBI remove Spanos from the National Crime Database and have the UFAP warrant dismissed by former McGuire-Woods partner James B. Comey, who was a Richmond U.S. Attorney at that time. The dismissed UFAP warrant allowed Spanos to renew his U.S. passport and remain off criminal databases despite having thirteen outstanding indictments against him.
Henrico Court filings gave evidence that Howard Vick, a high profile partner at McGuire-Woods law firm, used his contacts at the FBI to falsify FBI reports that Spanos could not be extradited from Greece because Greece and the United States had no extradition treaty. The United States and Greece have always had an active extradition treaty since 1932.
Henrico County Court filings gave evidence of Henrico Police efforts with the FBI to have Spanos extradited from Greece, were constantly blocked by the Henrico County Commonwealth Attorneys Office and Judge Lee A. Harris, despite another UFAP warrant being issued for Spanos on February 20, 2007 and knowing his exact location.
The August 27, 2021 complaint gives evidence of the "White Nationalism" belief being passed down over generations of Henrico Commonwealth Attorneys up to present day HCA Shannon Taylor and Deputy HCA Michael Feinmel.
Spanos was arrested in the Philippines in October 2012 and held for extradition, HCA Taylor refused to cooperate with FBI and Philippines DOJ officials, to file an "Affidavit for Extradition" to have Spanos extradited. Despite constant demands from FBI and Philippines DOJ officials, HCA Taylor continued to refuse their request to have Spanos extradited, ultimately the Philippines DOJ had no choice but to deport Spanos back to his safe haven of Greece.
On December 4, 2018, a Motion for Transportation to be provided by the Commonwealth Attorney for Spanos but was denied by Judge Lee A. Harris Jr., as to keep Spanos from being interviewed by FBI and Henrico Police detectives.
HCA Shannon Taylor refused requests by FBI officials, located in Athens, Greece, to transport Spanos from Greece to Virginia as to be prosecuted for the pending thirteen indictments in Henrico County. Spanos still had active Federal UFAP and INTERPOL red notice warrants which could have him arrested if he traveled outside of Greece's territory.
HCA Shannon Taylor had the Federal UFAP and INTERPOL warrants dismissed on February 15, 2019, as to keep Spanos from being arrested outside of Greece.
