Look like Del Baso was really really tight with the Hells Angels. Guess now the HA could be suspects in the hit against Leonardo after all…..
According to reports, investigators from the National Organized Crime Repression Squad (ENRCO) are raiding the residences of half a dozen individuals, including the Hells Angels of the Montreal section Martin Robert, Stéphane Plouffe and Michel Lamontagne. The homes of other individuals, including the former lieutenant of the Rizzuto clan Francesco Del Balso, now considered by the police to be close to the bikers, are also searched.
70 police officers are taking part in the operation, including members of the Sûreté du Québec's Tactical Intervention Group (GTI) and dog handlers. No arrests are expected. This is the first wave of searches carried out during the investigation and intended to gather clues, because since the Supreme Court's Jordan decision, which limits judicial delays, the police and the prosecution want to be ready to release their evidence as soon as a suspect is arrested and charged. The investigation, which began in 2021, “concerns drug trafficking and targets influential members of the Hells Angels,” a spokesperson for the SQ simply told La Presse.
