Its crazy how things changed. In the 90s and 00s, montreal was crazy (by canadian standards). But at those times, must gangs leaders we’re in the mid-20s, and not many in their 30s.
But now, many of those gang leaders are in their 40s and 50s, you also have but a few in their mid-50s almost 60.
So age does have a big importance in organized crime. Because a teen or young adult in his 20 or 30 is more impulsive. But if you have older heads leading the way, its always better.

Also, the street gangs of montreal learned alot from the mafia and the bikers, who were older than them and had more contacts.
We could say, their is an black organized crime in Montreal, that is above the normal street gangs.

Martin Girard, a member of a gang called the Bronzés arrested in the Magot-Mastiff investigation who beheaded Montreal organized crime in November 2015, was sentenced to five years this afternoon for gangsterism, conspiracy and trafficking narcotics.

But subtracting the time spent in pre-trial detention since his arrest in November 2015-forty months calculated in time and half-Girard, 41, has completed his sentence of sixty months and he will be released tomorrow.


During the Magot-Mastiff investigation, Girard allegedly acted as a cocaine distributor and money collector for a gang called the Bronzés, then led by Gregory Woolley.

Girard has been around Woolley for a long time, at least since he was a sponsor of a street gang called Syndicate.

In 2006, Girard was arrested with other members of the Syndicates in an investigation called Charge and was later sentenced to three years as a gangsterism penitentiary.

The Magot investigation, conducted by the Montreal Regional Joint Squad (MRE), led by the Sûreté du Québec, began in January 2013, and was originally aimed at Gregory Woolley and former mob boss Vito Rizzuto. , died naturally in December 2013.

The Mastiff survey, conducted by members of the SQ Crime Products Squad, began in 2014. Bloodhounds were interested in the money route of drug trafficking cells operating in the neighborhood. Hochelaga-Maisonneuve.

But along the way, the investigators of both projects joined forces since the targeted topics were in part the same.

Biggie OG
Greenlands is not a gang, its the name of a nighborhood.
MFG is a rap group, with gang members.

He he teh bronzés, a way to say the darkies or the tan.
Probably a way the fiends talked about the black gang of Wooley. A code they use on the phone.

Do you have a translation in english for this article?

I tried to put it on google translate, but i couldn’t.

Basically, the article is about the death of one of the member of montreal north gang member from a disease.
He was there, during the meeting of the streetgangs and Wooley.

Which crew was he with? What his role in dealing with Wooley?

I live in massachusetts middle to be exactly. I know a few Haitians there cool people. French speaking and all. There very whats that word they stick to there own. Like polish people or vietnamese. I dont know but i met some cool haitian peeps and like every nationality there a blacksheep in every family gangster or not

We don’t know what was is deal with Wooley. But since the meeting, the bloods from montreal north and rdp most have more territories in montreal, I guess.
Before, the Hells angels and Syndicates were ennemies of the bloods from mtl north and rdp. Wooley look like a smart guy, and probably gave the haitians from mtl north and rdp some deals.
Also, members of Biggy entourage were arrested for the murders of mobsters that were against Rizzuto.

Who did they murder from Rizzuto side?

They got caught for the murders of Gaetan Gosselin and Vincenzo Scuderi

Was it a move on the racket or contract hit?

Sorry, I don’t know what a move on the racket means

Trying to takeover their business.

Oh ok, no it was a contract hit.

Organized crime: the "godfather of street gangs" guilty
He is sentenced to one month in prison for possession of drugs while he was at the Bordeaux establishment

Gregory Woolley, one of Montreal's most influential organized crime leaders, was sentenced to one month in prison on Wednesday for being caught with marijuana and methamphetamine in Bordeaux prison.
Described as "the godfather of street gangs" in police reports, the 47-year-old man pleaded guilty to two charges of simple possession of narcotics before being sentenced by Judge Serge Delisle to the Montreal courthouse.
This lenient sentence will be added to the eight-year-old imposed last October on Woolley for being a key player in a business alliance involving Hells Angels, Italian mafia and street gangs to control the drug market in the United States. Montreal region.

He was also behind bars since November 2015, when this conglomerate was the target of the police operation Magot.
"This is a lenient sentence, but it takes into account that Mr. Woolley is already serving another important sentence," said prosecutor Pascal Dostaler, referring to the sentence proposal negotiated by parties and that the judge has ratified.

Gregory Woolley - who to this day remains the only black man who was officially included in the Hells Angels organization when he became a member of their late Rockers club-school in 1998 - appeared calm and resigned in the box of defendants. where he recorded his pleas of guilty.
A pack of 52 grams
On January 2, 2018, the one who also founded the Syndicate gang had received a visitor in the parlor of the hundred year old prison of Bordeaux. He handed him "a wrapped packet" that Woolley put in his pockets without opening it.
Correctional officers who watched the scene on surveillance cameras intercepted the prisoner and seized the package, which contained 20 grams of cannabis and 32 grams of methamphetamine.
Originally, the prosecution had charged him with possession of drugs for the purpose of trafficking, taking into account the quantities seized.
His lawyer, Danièle Roy, however, argued that "the drugs were not intended for Mr. Woolley, but rather for another inmate" and that "the package also contained a cell phone for this other inmate".
After reading the evidence, the judge who presided over Woolley's preliminary inquiry into the matter last March, had in fact summoned him to trial on reduced charges of simple possession of narcotics.
Contraband drug smuggling can be very lucrative as these substances sell up to ten times more than in the street market.
A single gram of cannabis can cost $ 100 and the price of a methamphetamine dose is $ 50, testified an expert of the Sûreté du Québec, last year, at the trial of former lawyer Luc Vaillancourt who had handed over narcotics and fentanyl patents to a client held in Sorel Prison.

Wonder why he didn’t sent somebody else take the drugs.

Convicted drug trafficker pleads guilty to possessing meth behind bars

Gregory Woolley, believed to be one of Montreal's most powerful gangsters, sees one month added to his eight-year prison term.

A man believed to be one of Montreal’s most powerful gangsters pleaded guilty on Wednesday to possessing methamphetamine and marijuana while behind bars awaiting trial in a case involving the Hells Angels and the Montreal Mafia.

Gregory (Picasso) Woolley, 47, seemed somewhat bored as he appeared before Quebec Court Judge Serge Delisle and admitted that, on Jan. 2, 2018, he was in possession of 32 grams of methamphetamine and 20 grams of pot while at the Montreal Detention Centre awaiting what was supposed to be a major drug trafficking trial.

Prosecutor Pascal Dostaler told Delisle that the Crown agreed to let Woolley plead guilty to the lesser charges of simple possession (instead of possession with the intent to traffic) of both drugs because it would have been difficult to prove Woolley knew what was in a package handed to him by another detainee on the day in question.

The exchange was captured on a surveillance camera inside the jail, and guards found Woolley holding the drugs soon after.

Defence lawyer Danielle Roy said the package also contained a cell phone and that the other detainee told guards the package was not ultimately destined for Woolley.

Delisle agreed with the common suggestion made by Dostaler and Roy that Woolley be sentenced to a one-month prison term to be served consecutively to his current eight-year term.

Woolley received the eight years on Oct. 26, after he pleaded guilty to drug trafficking, gangsterism and a conspiracy charge filed against him in Project Magot. The investigation, led by the Sûreté du Québec, revealed the Hells Angels, Montreal Mafia and several street gang members had teamed up to sell drugs like cocaine in Montreal.

Evidence revealed Woolley was key in forming the alliance and had risen to a status among organized crime circles equal to that of Stefano Sollecito and Leonardo Rizzuto — both alleged leaders of the Montreal Mafia when arrests were made in Project Magot in 2015.


The decision to create the alliance was forged in September 2012, when Woolley attended a funeral for the Hells Angels and was accompanied by Loris Cavaliere, a defence lawyer who was arrested and convicted in Project Magot.

During the 1980s, Woolley was a member of the Master B, one of the first street gangs to emerge in northern Montreal whose members consisted of young men of Haitian origin.

In 1998, he became a full-patch member of the Rockers, a support club created by then Hells Angels leader Maurice (Mom) Boucher to help the biker gang fight a prolonged conflict with rival gangs in Montreal.

In 2005, Woolley was serving time for having participated in a conspiracy to kill those who fought the Hells Angels during the conflict. He was sent to a federal penitentiary in Ste-Anne-des-Plaines, where Vito Rizzuto — Leonardo’s father — was being held at the same time. (The now-deceased Mafia boss was awaiting a decision from the Supreme Court of Canada on whether he should be extradited to the U.S. in a racketeering case.)

During the summer of 2005, Vito Rizzuto and Woolley were often seen together when they were allowed to take walks outside. Police believe this is when the two forged a relationship.

Months after the Mob boss returned to Canada, in October 2012, informants began telling police that Woolley and Rizzuto were partners in drug trafficking.

He describes himself as a hitman who works only for the Sicilians, for whom he has a lot of respect. He does not want to work for the Calabrians or the Hells Angels.

During their discussions, the two men talk about certain situations in the organized crime scene, including the fact that Quebecers accept contracts in Ontario and that the Rock Machine would be the first to think about using members of street gangs to make contracts. They also discuss Chénier Dupuy, killed in 2012, and the fact that since the assassination of the latter, the Reds no longer have a single chief in Montreal, but rather neighborhood chiefs.

Attempted murder in Saint-Léonard: a targeted gang leader

The bullet-wounded man who found refuge in a hotel in the borough of Saint-Leonard last night is Arsene Mompoint, a prominent Montreal gang leader known to police for executing mafia contracts and been involved in drug trafficking.

This is what sources told La Presse even if the SPVM refuses to confirm the identity of the victim.

For the moment, the circumstances and exact location of the attempted murder remain unknown. At approximately 1:40 am, a call was made to 911 inviting police and ambulance attendants to a hotel located at the corner of Jarry Street and Lacordaire Boulevard, where a man with bullets had just arrived to obtain information. ugly.

According to our information, Mompoint was injured in the shoulder. He was in a semi-conscious state when help arrived at the scene. He was transported to the hospital where, at the latest news, he rests out of danger.

Head of Unit 44

Arsène Mompoint, 46, is a member of a Red Street gang and leader of a group that has reportedly executed several contracts for organized crime, particularly the mafia, in recent years.

During a trial that he suffered for possession of a weapon in 2017, an investigator said that Mompoint was considered by the police as the head of Unit 44, whose members were convicted of the murders of Gaétan Gosselin and Vincenzo Scuderi, respectively trusted men of Raynald Desjardins and the late chieftain Giuseppe de Vito. Note, however, that Mompoint was detained when these crimes were committed in January 2013.

Mompoint was also close to Harry Mytil, acting chief of Unit 44 according to police sources, shot dead in 2013.

The same investigator had given the name of a mafia clan leader for whom Mompoint allegedly worked, but he is banned from publication.

The investigator also said the police believed Mompoint was seeking to take the place of the influential gang leader Gregory Woolley following the arrest of the latter in the November 2015 Magot-Mastiff Inquiry.

In June 2017, Mompoint was sentenced to 25 months for possession of a weapon.

He has also been arrested in recent months in a major narcotics investigation conducted by the Organized Crime Division of the City of Montreal Police Department.

Arsène Mompoint's right-hand man, Frank Pascal Dieudonné, was murdered in Saint-Philippe last February. Sources told La Presse that Dieudonné's murder could be linked to a dispute with another criminal group over a drug deal that went wrong.

Investigators will try to determine if the attack on Mompoint could be related to this case or revenge or settlement of accounts motivated by contracts made on behalf of the mafia in the past.

High gang member.

I thought the reds and the blue had a truce.
Are the red and the blue at odd with each others again or are they still together ?

Well we don’t know who attack him. It could be the Crips, some Bloods, the Italians, the bikers, even it could be a stupid thing like a random act.

I don’t think its the Crips, more chance, if its between street gangs, its from the Bloods. But we never know.
St-Leonard is a blood neighborhood, but its not far from projects that are Crips.

But, a guy like him, if they tried to kill him, its not because of gangbanging, but mostly link to organized crime or simply a random act

Reason why I asked if they are still together is because the article makes reference to Mompoint wanting to take the place of Wooley.

I think many people want to have a bigger piece of the pie of woolley’s alliance. But, if the 44s goes to war with the Alliance, this war would be very difficult for them. The bloods are not in advantage right now. And I doubt, that all the Blood gangs would allied themselves with Mompoint.
But, you never know. The criminal world can flip in a second

Thanks for the clarification.

Look like the puppet club of the Hells Angels, the Minotaure as some black members, probably members from street gangs.

Attempted murder on Arsène Mompoint: individual faces trial for possession of a weapon

In the days following the attempted murder committed against gang leader Arsène Mompoint in Montreal last August, SPVM investigators quickly received information that enabled them to arrest a suspect and, possibly, prevent an escalation.

This is what emerges from the testimony of an investigator heard today in the trial for the possession of a weapon by Faouzi Harmali, which opened on Wednesday at the Palais de justice de Montréal, before judge André Perreault of the Court of Quebec.
Harmali, 28, was arrested on August 13, 2019, six days after the attempted murder against Mompoint, which occurred the night of August 7 to 8, in a parking lot on rue Valdombre, in the borough of Saint-Léonard.
Detective Sergeant Samuel Couture of the SPVM's investigation center said that after being shot between the chest and the collarbone, Arsène Mompoint took refuge in a hotel where he asked for help.
He was then transported to hospital where he gave a brief version of the events which enabled the police to find the place where the attempted murder took place and - among other things - to find a 9 mm caliber shell struck on the ground.

Mompoint, whose street nickname is BM, refused to file a complaint and cooperate with the police. He did not want them to have access to his medical records and told them that he had been struck by a 12 caliber shot, but the investigator quickly ruled out this possibility.
Fouz is the shooter

A few hours after the crime, the investigator received information from a colleague that a certain Fouz was the shooter, that he was approximately 25-26 years old, that he had already been arrested with a weapon in the past, that he frequents the Rosemont housing plan and that it is possible that in a few days, there will be a replica in the Rosemont plan or on members of the Fouz clique and a certain Patek.
Another colleague later called investigator Couture to tell him that Fouz is Faouzi Harmali.
“Arsène Mompoint is linked to organized crime. He is known in the criminal community and all of the SPVM police officers. From my understanding, BM and Harmali knew each other. The information I had was that Arsene Mompoint knew who had shot him and that there was therefore a possibility of a reply, "said investigator Couture.
A very profitable contract

The latter and his colleagues continued their investigation. In the following days, they obtained information from other police source controllers that the attempted murder against Mompoint was not a bad drug deal, that Mompoint had a contract on his head for 8-9 months, that he returned from Toronto, that Fouz gave him an appointment and shot him, that the two men knew each other well, that Fouz even worked for Mompoint in drug trafficking, but that he also had links with Gregory Woolley and that the contract was given by Jean Winsing Barthelus, alias Zing.

"The BM contract, everyone would have accepted it. It was very profitable, "said the witness, citing a college investigator, controller of one of the police sources.
Later, the Couture investigator noticed the presence of a luxurious Range Rover in the parking lot of the Rosemont plan and learned that the same vehicle appeared on a video on which Faouzi Harmali appeared, and which had been published on the Snapchat account of a relative.
By cross-checking information, the police identified a location. They dispatched a spinning team there to quickly spot Harmali driving a white Porsche Panamera on August 13.
Investigator Couture obtained information that Harmali feared aftershock and was moving armed. He asked the spinning police to arrest him for attempted murder, having discharged a firearm and possession of a firearm.
Police intercepted the Porsche, apprehended Harmali, and found a pistol in the vehicle - with bullets in the barrel - in a shoulder bag that Harmali was carrying earlier today, as seen by the spinning police.
Ultimately Faouzi Harmali was charged only with the possession and carrying of a prohibited weapon without a valid license. He was not charged with attempting to kill Mompoint and discharging a weapon at him.
Jean Winsing Barthelus was not arrested and charged in this case. Arsène Mompoint is currently detained pending trial for a drug case. Faouzi Harmali’s trial continues on Friday and will be released until April 23.
