Tie bandits pay the wedding of the year

Bridesmaids in a leather jacket, gleaming Cadillac convertible for the married, criminal dressed to the nines, the marriage of a powerful Hells Angel to the daughter of a drug trafficker looked like a gala evening under police surveillance last night in the heart of Montreal.
The bikers had set their 36 to celebrate the wedding of Martin Robert, an influential member of the Montreal chapter, and Annie Arbic, the daughter of the "Queen of Kanesatake", in one of the most upscale reception rooms of the metropolis.
Accustomed to leather jackets and jeans, the presence of Salvatore Cazzetta, Salvatore Brunetti and Stephane Jarry in tuxedos or suits further emphasized the importance of the event.

Among the bonzes of bikers, Mario Brouillette, one of the alleged leaders of the Hells, made a rare "appearance" public, alongside his colleagues, he who was under a hood. If the logo of the club was discreet, some guests proudly displayed jewelry emblazoned with the famous winged skull.
Ride or die ...

It was the bridesmaids who wore leather jackets with the inscription "Ride or die", an expression associated with outlaw motorcyclists.
The newlyweds stormed aboard a 1966 Cadillac Eldorado convertible at 5:45 pm before rushing into the Windsor Ballroom.
Many onlookers stopped in front of the constant comings and goings of luxury vehicles and buses in front of the historic building.
With about 270 guests from different factions of the underworld gathered on Peel Street, the couple's wedding also attracted criminal intelligence.
Observers of the organized crime modules of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, the Sûreté du Québec and the Police Department of the City of Montreal scrutinized each of the arrivals.
Renewed photo bank
As for funerals or "parties", this is an opportunity for agents to renew their photo banks and identify newcomers to the bikers.
"They can also confirm some information from sources and test their credibility," says Paul Laplante, a retired police officer who led the Wolverine Squad.
The relationship that the couple has had for more than 10 years has already cost the new Mrs. Robert several months of freedom.
In 2009, while serving a 42-month penitentiary sentence for her involvement in her mother's extensive drug trafficking network, parole denied her a first application for release.
Although she was considered a model inmate at the Joliette Women's Jail, the commissioners found her love for the Angel Hells "very worrisome".
