in 2009, the Liquor License at the Liquid Zoo was terminated by the BC Liquor Control and Licencing Board (LCLB) because they alleged that the club had links to organized crime.

The LCLB's basis in reaching thier decision was that the owner of the building, Damiano Dipopolo, was full patch member of the Hells Angels.

The club remains closed for a couple of years. Enter "new owner" Dave Habib, who asserts he has no ties to organized crime and is successful in appealing the LCLB's decision. The license is reinstated and the club opens again with Mr. Habib at the Helm.

Then, Liquid Zoo owner Dave Habib is the target of a car bomb planted in his vehicle, which is destroyed. Police say it was a targeted attack.

How many average, normal citizens become targets of car bomb attacks? Also, Is the LCLB revisiting it's view that Mr. Habib is "fit and proper" to hold a liquor license, as they did when they investigated Mr Dipopolo?


The B.C. Liquor Control and Licensing Branch (LCLB) has yanked the nightclub's liquor license after determining that the establishment is linked to organized crime under a policy implemented in 2005 that defines who is "fit and proper" to hold a liquor license.

Is this current?

Yes, the policy is current.

Apparently not.
