Street gangs originated in Montreal in
In the 1980's.

Blood (the reds)

The first generation of the Reds was called the Master B in honor of the one who created them, a man named Beauvois. They formed the second generation of the clan, the Bogars.

The Bogars have in turn trained the youngest, the Outlaws. General is part of this generation, the first half-breed. Whites, Latinos and Arabs mixed with blacks, like Quebec immigration.

Crips (The Blues)

On the Bleus side, the first clan was called the Bélanger gang. Their successors took the name of CDP for Crack Down Posse. Then appeared the Crips. Unusually, Emmanuel "Mano" Zéphir, founder of the Crack Down Posse and very influential member of the Blues was a great friend of Beauvois of the first generation of Reds.

The gang war took off between the Bogars and the CDP in the mid-1990s.

General has entered the world of street gangs by wanting to defend his clan. At the beginning of the secondary school, his membership resulted in violent fights against the enemies of his family, the Blues. As he gets older, his war has taken on a new face: crime money.
Driven by hatred, General vented into violence in his early teens. With his friends from Montreal-North, he made war with the Blues of Saint-Michel. His thoughts are directed towards his enemies, whom he likes to hate. It carbides to that. Born leader, he leads widely. His friends respect him and seek his company. His rivals fear him and want to bring him down. He has a reputation for being tough, a leader. He is not afraid of anyone. He has no limit.
General is a loaded weapon. The war of his elders has become his. But the older ones do not just fight. Because of their numbers and the lack of respect they feel for society, they have developed a lucrative business that is becoming a way of life. They steal, defraud, sell drugs, weapons, murder. For money. They are ready to fight fiercely to keep and increase their share of the pie. And they have an army at their disposal. Young people loyal to the cause, to the family, ready for anything to live

The mentor
gang-de-rue-rapper-general-hip-hop-gang General was part of a group of about 40 young people. "We had a godfather. Our live veteran. From the first generation. He gave us orders. We followed him. If he had to get rid of a stolen stock, it was sold for him. If he had problems with the Mafia, we would set fire to Italian bars for him. We broke people's mouths for him. He was not a good man! "General speaks of his initiator, Teken, with admiration. The older one impressed him. "We saw him as an idol. And he always took care of the dirty job. "A leader who sets an example to his young recruits, pushing the limits of violence.
"Once, in his jeep, while smoking joints, he stopped dry. He got out of his car and we saw him go out his revolver to shoot someone in a car. I was 16 years old! My first live shots! I was excited and nervous. We were proud to be there that day. We boasted about those who were not there! "A leader who takes things in hand, who acts without fear, makes General's friends bolder to earn his respect. "We wanted to show him that we had balls, too. So when he asked us something, we did not get caught! We did it! "
Small traffics of a street gang
General abandons some frontal war with the Blues. He starts selling potty at school and downtown. He develops his network with some friends. "We did not have to be accountable to the older ones. But we took our drugs from them. "Teken is his supplier. He sells him his goods and General sells him. He does the same with the stolen goods that their godfather provides them with.
Between his little trades, General releases his violence to help Teken in his business. And he continues the war against the Blues. He swims between two waters. "I saw some things. That was my daily life. I did not ski, me! At my friends' house, I saw the older ones arm themselves to go on a dirty job. I was dipping in! Every week there was a story. Someone was beaten, another was shot. "These events warm the spirits. Street gangs are getting more and more serious. The violence is increasing. Between them and in crime.
Declaration of war
Between 2000 and 2005, the war reached its climax. The police impose a curfew in Montreal North and Saint-Michel. "We did not have the right to be 3 guys walking together in the street otherwise we were considered a gang. And the police could search us under this pretext. But we, at the height of the war, could not be alone. I lost 4 close friends. Friends who regularly came to my house, "he said, naming them, his fist on his heart. In the early 2000s, General is very active. He actively participates in this war but prefers not to talk about it. He made gestures that he regrets today without being able to go back. He has lost friends and he understands that, on the other side, it's the same thing.
War is declared. There are no rules. "Every week, there was a death," says General, who suddenly becomes emotional as he approaches one of the turning points of the conflict. "Our veteran is dead. I was smoking a joint with friends in Henri-Bourassa Park. We walked to join the older ones. There were twenty of them, there were women. They were partying in the street. In the distance, I saw a parked car start to roll. I saw everything in slow motion. Teken came out of the pack. They put him a dozen bullets in the body. And they left at full speed. Everyone rushed to our leader. It was my idol. And I saw him make his last breath. They came to us, in front of us. And they killed one of the bosses. We respected him all. He said that Montreal North is our place, it's ours. They did not want to know anything about bikers and Italians. "
The conflict escalates
General has wet eyes. It shows a sensitivity that fits poorly with the image of a hard-hearted heartless. "When he died, the same day, we had a dozen cars that were walking in the blue neighborhoods. Afterwards, there were many deaths on both sides. "There is escalation of the conflict. The links between generations are tightening. They fight together.
"The more we grew up, the more friendship we developed with our elders. We were no longer little brothers. We were part of the same clan. "General is no longer a recruit. He has gained experience. He is ready to take over from his mentor. "At first, I was going to take my drug in the godfather's hands. But soon, I had my kids taking their drugs from me. Quickly, I formed my own gang, my kids. The little brother of so-and-so, the neighborhood guy. What I did for Teken, my kids did it for me. "The wheel turns.

General's life in street gangs began in elementary school, while he was enjoying himself in personifying his elders. Then, from high school, he identifies with the oldest fighting with the enemies of his clan. As he gets older, General is introduced to crime through his gang. The war takes on a new meaning. He no longer defends a family but a loot. As money enters, enemies multiply.
General spends his adolescence to devote a hatred to his enemies, the Blues. Little by little, he is enlisted by the oldest who initiate him to crime: theft, receiving, selling drugs, beating, burning shops.

Rage in a street gang
gang-de-rue-montreal-north-gang-rue-pascal His rage is turning away from his rivals. He begins to become aware of his taste for money. He likes independence that he buys himself and the respectful look that accompanies him. At 17, he does not listen to his parents anymore and moves away from home. He is an adult who earns a good living. He covers his girlfriends with presents, offers a car of the year, jewels, clothes. He has class. His friends, with whom he rides, live in the same way. When he looks at them, he sees his success. A tough man with a well-stocked wallet who has everything he wants.
"I noticed that danger and money attract the world. Especially women! Every night we had a party. We were preparing our crimes by chilling. "General's clan has some 70 members. The young thug is spoiled for choice if he wants to have fun. And he has the money to feast as he sees fit. "I could call a friend who was already with 5 guys. I called another, and it was the same. Finally, we ended up at 30! We went out and we never queued. You could say anything, make a racket, be hateful, take the whole place in the bar, nobody dared to tell us to go out. In Montreal North, no bar could refuse us. "General and his gang acted like tyrants even on their territory. Nothing to do with the war against the Blues where they posed as defenders of their neighborhood. The war changed face.
Bloods and money
rapper-general-rap-montreal-nord-hip-hopThe red family sits against the enemy but acts according to the interests of each. There are no structures, no organization. Young people gather according to their friendships and affinities. "There are some who just want to carry a gun. They enter the gang with their hatred. They are there for the violence. They just want to commit crimes. Others want a membership. I was money. I was more of a hustler than a happy trigger. My crew was cash first. "
At the beginning of high school, General got up in the morning to watch some blue at school. At the end of his adolescence, he thinks he is awake when he wakes up. "I get up in the morning and say to myself: I want a car. But if I did not make money for the day, I do not sleep! Not everyone makes money. You have to be wise, you have to want it. The majority of gang members, I would say 60%, are poor. Really poor. They sleep on gas, they just hang out. They do not think about it day and night. They live in the street, go to sleep from one apartment to another, to friends' homes. We are a minority to have an apartment, a condo, a house. Those who hang out in the subway, the small dealers, they are not leaders. They are not serious. "Members' areas of interest diverge as they get older. The unions of yesterday, the cause, are crumbling.
The territory of the Bloods
gang-de-rue-montreal-north-gang-street-pelletier General's gang is looking for a larger territory to control to sell his drugs. A drug he always buys from the oldest of his clan, the first generation of Reds. Of all the groups of his generation, that of General rolls the most. "We made more money than the others. And we were the most crazy. It was rolling. Downtown, West Island, Montreal North. Just with 5 strong guys, you can control a territory. And call for reinforcements as needed. "
When he does not take care of settling any disputes himself, the small group of General has only one call to make to find a member who can make a flight, to intimidate a person or even to lower it. "Anyone in the group can make a decision. But we usually take them together. We keep in touch."

The Bloods in Downtown against bikers

Greedy, General and his friends eyeing the side of St. Denis Street, an important artery in Montreal, to expand their territory. "We knew that the street belonged to the bikers. We went to 20 to get their attention, to show that we were there.
We sold our drugs. Until the neighborhood boss sees us. So, we confronted him. And usually there are not many people to oppose him. "The group uses a cameo to call his provider and wait for his arrival. They tied him up and called his boss in front of the hostage. "If the boss did not want to give up his territory, we would get our message out by beating his pusher."
General has no emotion, when he tells this part of his life. For him, it's business as usual. "We were typing everyone. We did not care, they had patches. We were a gang, too. We tapped two or three of their guys. They said ok, but do not touch St. Laurent Street. You would abuse. They are warriors, bikers, "he says respectfully.
General and his group, in addition to their expansionist aims, must protect what they control. What they did to bikers, on St-Denis, others imitate them to steal what they own.
Violence attracts violence
general-blood-gang-of-street-montreal-north-gangs If one of his young salesmen is beaten by enemies who send him a message, General must react. "I have no choice but to reply. Otherwise, my youth will no longer trust me. And the others neither. We had to solve the problem. In this environment, you know who does not love you, who watches you. It's easy to make someone talk. If we judge that it takes a beating to be understood, we do it. But it can go wrong. Because if we land in a place and people are armed, anything can happen. "
General and his gang are fighting for their business first. They walk on the flowerbeds of the Blues, bikers and mafia. And their affiliation with the Reds also leads them to marry the wars of the other members of the clan. The business of some creates problems for everyone. "Bikers are not afraid of anything. They have gangs that exist just to kill. They are as bastards as we are. They too will shoot in the heap no matter who is there. It's been our biggest wars. In fact, the war with the bikers lasted a year. It was the one of the oldest Bloods. "General speaks respectfully of those enemies with whom he has crossed paths. But the tone changes when he talks about the mafia.
Mafia, police and politicians
"They are fearful! Side fights, they can not answer. They have a lot more than us to lose. We can destroy their businesses. They can just kill us. And it's going to cost them $ 50,000 to hire a killer who will murder only one guy! We do not take anything! During the war with the Italians, in one evening, they burned seven bars! They lose a lot. What saves them is that they are everywhere. They have the police and the politicians in their sleeve. "
But the enemy, when one makes war for money and power, can take on the traits of a friend. Even within the family, friction occurs. General's best friend, very ambitious and productive, was shot in the leg by one of their good comrades after he made him understand that he was not making enough money. "They stayed in the gang but they do not talk to each other anymore. It divided the group. They spoke in the back. But we come from the same clique. The one who shot, made him understand that we did not agree with his act. I did not see him so much after. He took his hole. "
The generation cycle continues. General's friends, with their business, will distance themselves from the war, bad for business. They will let the younger ones do the wrong thing while they make their money grow. The violence continues.

Early stages of montreal street gang in Montreal.

Story of a blood member from Montreal.

Red member victim of attempted murder

Polynice, 33, was shot in the company of others on Saint-Dominique Street near René-Lévesque Boulevard in Montreal's Chinatown. Called on the scene, the paramedics of Urgences-Santé transported Polynice to the hospital where they feared for his life before he had surgery and that it was announced that he would survive his injuries.

Another man, who was probably accompanying Polynice, was also slightly injured in one leg. He refused to cooperate with the police.

According to the police, the gunshots were reported to have been fired following a conflict. A suspicious vehicle, a Porsche brand SUV, probably damaged in the front, was seen on the scene and the police are looking for it.

With Unit 44

Polynice, aka bin Laden, is known to police circles. Red allegiance, he was considered, for a time at least, as a soldier of Unit 44 whose five members were sentenced for the murders in January 2013 of Gaétan Gosselin and Vincenzo Scuderi, men of trust respectively of Caid Raynald Desjardins and the late chieftain of the mafia Giuseppe De Vito.

In the proceedings against gang leader Arsene Mompoint, an SPVM investigator last year reported that Polynice was managing a drug smuggling ring in downtown Montreal and that he had obtained supplies from Mompoint and another red, Jerry Jacques Raymond aka Jedi.

In January 2014, Polynice was arrested in the company of several individuals, including Jean-Luc Sanon, for a robbery in an Italian café but was later acquitted.

A Montrealer, Jonathan Beaudin Naudi, who was convicted of the 2008 Stanley Cup riots in 2008 was sentenced to 54 months on Thursday, this time for taking 8 kg of cocaine for the purpose of trafficking.

Right after this plea, a member of Beaudin Naudi's family also pleaded guilty to possession of drugs.

Eric Naudi, 28, could get 90 days in jail for being arrested the same day as Jonathan Beaudin Naudi, with 2.25 g of cocaine and 1 g of crack. His sentence was postponed until September. By then, he will remain on bail.

Eric Naudi is linked to the world of street gangs. In the past, he was described by police as a close friend of former gang leader Richard Goodridge. The latter had founded the gang 67 in the Saint-Michel district with the late boss Ducarme Joseph.

The number of Hells Angels detainees has dropped drastically in Quebec prisons, while street gang members are more present than ever.

Record of Reds and Blues
In contrast, correctional services faced a record daily number of 230 street gang-related inmates in 2017. The gang-related offender population has more than doubled from 2005, when there were only 92 prisoners identified to the Blues and Reds on a daily basis.
At the time, the gang phenomenon was essentially Montreal, but it has since spread to several regions.
It should be noted that inmates in provincial prisons serve a sentence of imprisonment of less than two years or are provisionally detained pending trial.

When the news in Montreal, taught that the Zoe Pound from Miami, would try to unite the haitian gangs from Montreal🤦🏿‍♂️

The Zoe Pound, one of the most formidable street gangs in Florida, would consider sponsoring a union between the Reds and Blues in Quebec to compete with the Hells Angels bikers.
This is at least a hypothesis that is currently circulating in Montreal's street gang community, according to what the Journal has learned from sources close to the former leader of the Bo-Gars, "Big" Chénier Dupuy, shot in the parking of the Galeries d'Anjou on August 10th.
The Zoe Pound - whose members use the Haitian flag and its motto "Unity is strength" as visible symbols of their brotherhood - even tried the ground without success a few years ago.


CHENIER DUPUY
killed
The assassination of Chénier Dupuy and that of his ally, Lamartine Severine Paul, shot the same evening but in Laval, would however revived this project of common front against the bikers.
The two veterans of the Reds were killed a few weeks after a meeting of gang leaders in a bar in the Laurentians, where Dupuy flatly rejected an alliance between Reds and Bleus to do business under the control of bikers.

Police sources have confirmed that this proposal was initiated by Gregory Wooley, Maurice's former trusted man "Mom" Boucher and tutor of the Syndicates, a clique in the pay of the Hells who dominates the drug market in downtown Montreal .
Voodoo, torture and shootings
The Zoe Pound is best known in the southern United States for its reputation as a ruthless gang.
Formed in the mid-90s in Miami, the Zoe Pound - whose members have to be "tattooed" on a shoulder with a knife - is "well known for his violent crimes, his thefts and his involvement in drug trafficking, "wrote the Drug Enforcement Agency in February 2010, after dismantling a network of traffickers operating in several US states and led by this gang.
At the Port of Miami, the gang looted clandestine shipments of cocaine on ships and shot dead crew members in 1997. Conflicts with rival clans resulted in several deadly road shootings at the AK-47.
Its members even use voodoo to protect themselves from their enemies and do not hesitate to use torture (torch, for example) to extort or make others speak, according to an episode of the documentary series "Gangland" presented on the History channel , in 2009.
The FBI says that "Haitian-born gangs like Zoe Pound are now proliferating on the US East Coast," including New York and New Jersey, according to its 2011 report on organized crime gangs.

A gang leader is pinched with drugs in prison

An alleged street gang leader in Montreal will face justice after being caught with jar and speed tablets in jail.

The influential Gregory Woolley was charged earlier this month with possession of methamphetamine and cannabis for the purpose of trafficking.
The alleged offenses allegedly occurred on January 2 at Montreal's century-old prison, commonly known as Bordeaux, where Woolley is being detained pending trial for other charges already against him.

According to our information, the 46-year-old man was reportedly surprised by correctional officers during a drug transaction with a visitor in the prison's visiting room.


After seizing the narcotics, the prison authorities then called on the Sûreté du Québec police officers to investigate and submit a file to the Director of Criminal and Penal Prosecutions (DPCP).

A prosecutor finally authorized the filing of two charges on 6 August.

Hells School Club


Gregory Woolley has been in custody for more than two years, in relation to another court case.

The facts alleged in this pending case are subject to a publication ban.

According to The Black Book of the Hells Angels , Woolley remains to this day "the only black to have been admitted into the big family" of this biker gang in Quebec.

In 1998, in the midst of the biker war against the Rock Machine, Maurice's former bodyguard "Mom" Boucher had received his jacket from the Rockers, the club-club of the elite chapter Nomads des Hells.

That same year, under the recommendation of the former Hells Chief, Woolley founded the Syndicates, a street gang associated with bikers in business and whose motto is Do or Die .

The Rockers, like the Nomads of the Hells chapter, were disbanded after the Spring 2001 police operation, during which Woolley was arrested and sentenced to a long term penitentiary for gangsterism and drug trafficking.

Montreal and Toronto to a lesser extent seem to have gone form nice cities to live in or visit to hell holes in the past 10 years.

In reality, Montreal is nicer than it was in the 70s, 80, 90s and the begining of the 00s.

Montreal has never been so peaceful.

Montreal was worst before, by canadians standard.

If you say so I believe you. I was there once as a child, but barley remember it. I was going by all the reports of crimes, was it worse in the older days, or is it just so big a city that the crime seems like a lot in proportion to the population?

The population hasn’t change as much.
The street gangs wars of the mid 90s and the begining of the 00s was really something. While the bikers had there war in the 90s, Montreal
Street gangs had their own war. The city of Montreal even stop some festival because gang members start shooting live on the street.

Then I went to live in Toronto for 2 and an half years. Jamaican gangs were really going at it for years. But you started to see Somali gangs going at it also.

For the italian mob, in montreal, most black kids have italian friends, especially if you live in the eastern part of the city. You always ear things about the mob, things they don’t say on TV. But you don’t know if its true or only urban legend.

From sworn enemies to business partners
The last street gang-related murder in Montreal dates back to 2016, while in Toronto it is the root cause of a record of 96 homicides in 2018

Settling scores between street gangs has exploded the number of murders in the country in two years. It's the opposite in Quebec, where once-enemy gangs have become unlikely business partners.

It's so rare that we talk about street gangs that it's a bit like they did not exist anymore! "Says René-André Brisebois, who gives the course" Gang Phenomenon "at the University of Montreal.
According to the adage "unity is strength", the first street gangs appeared more than 30 years ago in Montreal "in response to discrimination or racism", before embarking on crime, d after this criminologist.
In 2012, long-time rival bands pushed the saying further.
Under the rule of Gregory Woolley, the only black gangster to have been admitted to the Hells Angels family, they were convinced to unite in an economic alliance with bikers and mafia factions.

They realized that there was room for everyone [in the criminal market] and that they could make more money through business associations. It is no longer a question of respecting colors, but rather of maximizing profits, "said Major David Bertrand of the Organized Crime Division of the Montreal Police Service (SPVM).
In 2017 and 2018, out of a total of 15 murders attributable to organized crime in Montreal, Major Bertrand confirmed to the Journal that no one is connected to street gangs.
"They have learned to do business together, often in lucrative niches like pimping and fraud, where police investigations are difficult to conduct. They are less visible than before and attract less police heat, "said René-André Brisebois.
There is no criminal alliance of such magnitude anywhere in Canada, according to our information.
The longest lull
A dozen years ago, the Bloods (Red) of Montreal-North, the Crips (Bleus) of Saint-Michel and the many Posse of Jamaican origin in the West Island of Montreal fired on each other every week.
"It was war. But street gangs are definitely in the most peaceful period I've seen in Montreal, "says Harry Delva, a gang and street worker in the Saint-Michel neighborhood for 30 years.
He never thought that was possible, according to Mr. Delva's testimony before a committee of members in Ottawa on January 30, 2007.
Not the right color
"Will we be able to stop all this? Me, I tell you in advance that no, unfortunately, "he said recalling that these young people having" nothing to lose "clashed" in the streets, around schools and parks. "
On the afternoon of October 28, 2005, 17-year-old Patricio Astudillo was stabbed to death in front of a Cartierville high school for displaying his "blue" allegiance to his attackers on the Blood's red bandana.
" It was crazy. You could die if you did not wear the right colors. There have been a hundred deaths for that in Montreal, "said Detective Sergeant Jean-Claude Gauthier.
During these troubled years, the former expert on street gangs at the SPVM compiled "on a whiteboard" the list of murders and attempted murders, their dates and locations, the names of targets and suspects.
He needed several paintings. From January 2006 to December 2007, the gangs were involved in 26 homicides and 96 attempted murders, prompting the Montreal police to make it their number one priority.
In two years, police have made 2,850 arrests and seized more than 300 firearms in gangs.
In 2007, Bill Blair, then Toronto Police Chief, took advantage of a visit to Montreal to praise the fight against street gangs in the Queen City. He considered himself "luckier" than his counterpart at the SPVM.
Because despite the pressure exerted by the SPVM, tensions between gangs had barely cooled.
Then, on August 9, 2008, 18-year-old Fredy Villanueva was shot dead in a park as police tried to apprehend her brother Dany, a member of the Blood Family Mafia gang. The next day, a violent riot broke out in Montreal North.
424 shootings in Toronto
Since 2010, the SPVM has removed gangs from top of mind.
"We focus on the crimes of violence, regardless of the group that committed them," according to Commander Bertrand.
Bill Blair is now the Minister of Organized Crime Reduction in the Trudeau government, and Toronto has had a record year of 96 murders. Mayor John Tory said the gangs were involved in more than 75 percent of the killings and 424 shootings in that city in 2018.
"What's happening in Toronto is like what we had here 15 years ago," said Harry Delva.
Will the gang alliance last in Quebec? Certainly, all seem to find their account since this historic lull persists, noted the criminologist Brisebois.

The alliance concluded in 2012 between Montreal street gangs to share the criminal market with the Hells Angels and the mafia has brought down the killings committed by organized crime gangs in Quebec, according to unpublished data from Statistics Canada, obtained by The Journal. The same can not be said for the other four most populous provinces, where street gangs remain divided.
THE UNION IS NOT FORCE ELSEWHERE IN CANADA
The new business model of street gangs and their biker and mafia partners in Quebec has not yet been adopted in Ontario and Western Canada.

Here, the Hells do not control all the illicit markets like in Quebec. There are some alliances involving gangs, but there is more competition and it's very volatile, "said criminologist Martin Bouchard, a professor at Simon Fraser University in British Columbia.
"What's happening in Toronto and Vancouver is often little-known gangs fighting to try and pick up crumbs that remain in the criminal market," he added. Or young people exposed to the subculture of firearms who shoot for junk. It creates an escalation of aftershocks. "
We share the cake
Mr. Bouchard believes that the profile of gangs is very different in Montreal.
"They have reached a level of maturity. There is a well-established hierarchy with other organized crime groups. The rules are clear, we share the cake and we know what to expect. "
He believes that the police alone can not stop the violence between gangs in Ontario or the West "only by arrests".
"They can speed up the end. We saw it in Quebec during the biker war with the Carcajou squad and Operation Spring 2001 against the Hells. But they will need help. "
Moreover, it has not been possible to quantify the current Quebec gangs' numbers, as was the case in the past.
In Montreal, the SPVM says it no longer keeps statistics on the number of gangs or their members. The police services of Laval, Longueuil and Gatineau have preferred not to reveal their figures in the Journal.
♦ In Quebec City, where the late Wolf Pack made the headlines between 2002 and 2004 in an unprecedented juvenile prostitution scandal, the police say no street gang is currently established there.

35 YEARS OF HISTORY OF THE STREET GANGS IN QUEBEC
Street gangs have been in Montreal for 35 years now.
Here are 10 events that marked their eventful history and shaped their evolution in Quebec.

1984
At the age of 19, Beauvoir Jean founded the first street gang in Montreal-North, the Master B, which later became the Bo-Gars. One of his emulators in this area of the Reds is the trafficker Bernard "Tipon" Mathieu, leader of the street gang Pelletier, who was then expelled from Canada. Rival gangs of Haitian origin also settle in the neighborhood

1998
Le Syndicate devient le premier gang de rue mont­réalais à travailler étroitement avec les Hells Angels qui veulent ainsi accen­tuer leur mainmise sur le marché de la drogue. Ce groupe est fondé par Gregory­­­­ Woolley (en bas à droite sur la photo), un ex-membre des Master B, aussi réputé comme étant le premier Noir admis comme membre d’un club-école des Hells.

2002
Quebec City is shaken by Operation Scorpion as the police dismantle a large network of juvenile prostitution to notable clients, operated by the street gang Wolf Pack. Among the 11 condemned pimps, the head of the network, Nerva Lovinski, will receive six years' imprisonment.

2006
Les gangs de rue commencent à sévir dans les banlieues et en région, où ils mènent des « incursions criminelles », constate le Service du renseignement criminel du Québec. Cinq ans plus tard, les corps policiers de la province rapportent que les gangs ont commis un total de 1251 crimes au Québec en 2011, dont 1031 à Mont­réal.

2010
On March 18, three gunmen fired 70 projectiles inside the Flawnego, a shop in Old Montreal owned by gang leader Ducarme Joseph. The latter was absent, but his bodyguard and one of his uncles are killed. The shooting also caused two serious injuries. Joseph, founder of gang 67, was suspected of murdering the eldest son of Montreal mafia boss Nick Rizzuto Jr., who was killed three months earlier.

2012
On August 10, Chénier Dupuy, the leader of the Bo-Gars, is riddled with bullets in the parking lot of Galeries d'Anjou. His compatriot Lamartine Severus Paul suffered the same fate in Laval. These veterans of the Reds opposed the eventual alliance that was about to be concluded with the Blues to work together in a business partnership with the Hells Angels and the mafia. Dupuy, who had made the war with the Blues, said that there was no question that he would become "a lecherous bécyc", speaking of bikers.

2013
On January 22, Gaétan Gosselin, a friend of the mafia boss Raynald Desjardins, was murdered in Montreal North. Nine days later in Saint-Léonard, the same killers eliminate another close to the mafia, Vincenzo Scuderi. Five members of a Red Street gang are then arrested and sentenced. The alleged leader of this mafia-controlled commando, Harry Mytil, was himself liquidated in the spring of 2013, paying with his life for the mistakes of his henchmen.

2014
On August 1, the formidable gang leader Ducarme Joseph, whose head was priced by the mafia, is shot dead in the street, in the Saint-Michel district. A follower of voodoo, he wore an amulet to protect himself. It is said that "Kenny" Joseph, who had even tried to steal a cargo of narcotics from the Hells Angels in 1999, believed himself invincible.

2018
On October 26, Gregory Woolley, considered the number one street gang and one of the leading organized crime leaders in Quebec, was sentenced to eight years in prison for conspiracy, drug trafficking and gangsterism. He was arrested in 2015 with other members of the Syndicate, two heads of the Montreal Mafia and some Hells Angels.

In Montreal, Street gangs is Organized crime

THEY SAY TO FORM "A FAMILY"
The undercover police investigation that uncovered the alliance between street gangs, mafia and bikers
Gregory Woolley "is the actor who changed the portrait of organized crime in Montreal" by orchestrating the alliance of all his clans, SPVM commander David Bertrand told the Journal. Here is a portrait of this influential gang leader.
The police had never before seen a street gang leader arrive at the funeral of an Angel Hells in the Ferrari of an Italian mafia lawyer.

A search of the SPVM by Jean-Philippe Célestin, a close friend of Gregory Woolley and leader of the gang K-Crew who controlled several clubs on Saint-Laurent Street, allowed to find this painting of Célestin sitting on a throne.
That's what happened in Montreal on September 2, 2012, when Gregory Woolley and Me Loris Cavaliere came together in a funeral home on Sherbrooke Street East, before the funeral of biker Gaétan Comeau
In spite of himself, Cavaliere - who has long represented the late godfather Vito Rizzuto and was removed from the Bar after his conviction for gangsterism in 2017 - ended up explaining to the police the strong symbolic of this gesture.
All under the same roof

After reading an article in Le Journal, the lawyer's wife asked him why "Italians", bikers and gangs worked and ate "all under one roof", unlike in the past.
"That's thanks to me. Do you remember when I went to the [Hells] funeral with Greg [Woolley]? He told him without suspecting that the police were registering him.
On August 20, 2015, it was also by spying what was said in the offices of Cavaliere that the police officers of Operation Magot were able to measure the full extent of this new alliance between organized crime groups.

To keep the city »
The police pickups then recorded Woolley, the acting mafia boss Stefano Sollecito and the son of the late godfather, Leonardo Rizzuto, in full reunion.
"We are forming a family! I'm watching his back and he's watching my back, "Sollecito said as he talked about his relationship with the man he simply called" Greg ".
But it was Woolley who dictated to the Mafiosi "what to do to keep the city".
"A bullet in the chest is what we are supposed to do," he said as the three men suspected one of their associates of being a traitor who informed the police.
It was also about the sharing of drug territories in the Montreal area, the "sales taxes" to pay to the Hells and conflicts to settle.
Such synergy seemed unthinkable after former high-ranking mafia boss Francesco Arcadi compared black gangs to "monkeys" that "grow like mushrooms." He too was registered by the police. He regretted his words when he was admitted to prison in 2008.
Clashes in jail
It was Woolley, then incarcerated for biker war in the Hells camp, who settled this conflict.
Woolley, who spent the entire period from 2000 to 2011 behind bars, also took the opportunity to build relationships with the godfather Vito Rizzuto.
In the summer of 2005, the two spent three months at the Sainte-Anne-des-Plaines penitentiary where they were "seen together several times talking in the outdoor courtyard," insisted Sergeant François Lambert of the SPVM. testifying during the judicial phase of Operation Magot.

Gregory Wooley

THE GODFATHER OF THE STREET GANGS

As Vito Rizzuto was for the Italian mafia, Gregory Woolley is seen as the "godfather of blacks" forming gangs in Montreal.
This is how it is described by police informants from the gang community and cited in court documents of Operation Magot, which led to the arrest of Woolley in November 2015.
"We have seen how he plays a very, very major role [in the underworld]," said Captain David Bertrand, SPVM, who participated in this survey project. He changed the profile of organized crime in Montreal with his alliances. "
Rendezvous discoverers
His meetings on the only day of August 5, 2014 give a convincing example, according to the reports consulted by Le Journal.

The gang leader was also monitored during a meeting with mafioso Andrea Scoppa.
Spied on by a police surveillance team, Woolley left his home in Saint-Hubert around 11 am driving a gray Mercedes S450. He went to a downtown Montreal hotel to meet Andrea Scoppa, a big Mafia man with whom he scrambled the following year.

Gregory Woolley, left, with Hells Angels Salvatore Cazzetta (seen from the back) and Stéphane Jarry (right), all filmed by the police during the Magot investigation.
Two hours later, he parked his Mercedes near a restaurant on Newman Boulevard where two high-ranking Hells Angels, Salvatore Cazzetta and Stéphane Jarry, were waiting for him.
"All three of them give each other a handshake and a big hug with the pat on the back," the police officers said.

Woolley often met the one who was acting head of the Montreal mafia at that time, Stefano Sollecito.
Woolley completed his tour by going for an hour to talk with acting mafia boss Stefano Sollecito in an alleyway near an Italian café.
Paid "Coke"
Woolley was brewing millions of dollars in the narcotics market. With his right arm Dany "Lou" Cadet-Sprince, he directed "Les Bronzés", a clique that controlled the supply and trafficking of cocaine in Hochelaga-Maisonneuve.
Consumers sniffed about 40 kilos of coke a year from the Bronzés between 2011 and 2015, according to Judge Eric Downs.
And like the Hells Angels, Woolley levied a "tax" of a few thousand dollars a month on the "HO-MA" traffickers to have the right to sell their drugs.
Last October, Woolley was sentenced to eight years after convicted of conspiracy, drug trafficking and gangsterism. He could be released on parole by the end of 2020 as the court credited him with five years in pre-trial detention.
RECRUITED BY THE HELLS TO ELIMINATE COMPETITION
Before joining street gangs in a business alliance, Gregory Woolley took part in the Hells Angels' bloody war against a rival band, the Rock Machine.

On the morning of April 5, 2000, the person who was both a member of a Hells school club and leader of the new Syndicate street gang, went to Mirabel airport to catch a flight to the city. where he was born in Haiti, Port-au-Prince.

The security personnel immediately noticed the black sports bag he was carrying as hand luggage, adorned with a skull and identified with Rockers bikers.
Woolley calmly gave his bag to the agents to be examined by fluoroscopy. Suddenly, he asked to pick up his bag, but too late.
"I forgot something in my bag, I have to go and carry it in my car," he said in vain, according to the Mirabel police investigation report.
Officers were able to observe the barrel, barrel and buttstock on their monitor before alerting the police.
It was "by shucking his head" that he waited for the arrival of these. The weapon in question was a Smith & Wesson silver revolver loaded with three bullets.

The contents of his blue suitcase were also searched. Police found $ 8934, a Rockers scarf and a black wool hood.
He pleaded guilty on June 16, 2000 and was sentenced to two years in prison.
Accused of nine murders
"I do not want to see you," Gregory Woolley told the two investigators who arrested him for no fewer than nine murders on March 28, 2001.

He was held in Donnacona's maximum security penitentiary and was facing heavy charges in connection with Operation Spring 2001, which dealt a major blow to the Hells. He and several other bikers were charged with the killing of Rock Machine members or traffickers.

Among them were Johnny Plescio, a Rock Machine founder shot dead in his residence in Laval on September 8, 1998.

After the abortion of a 19-month mega-trial and an acquittal in a separate trial, Woolley was found not guilty of any of these murders.
But in June 2005, Woolley followed the lead of almost all of his acolytes and pleaded guilty to reduced charges of conspiracy, drug trafficking and gangsterism. He came out of jail in the summer of 2011.
The taxpayers then paid most of the bill for his defense, as for several Hells accused in this trick.
Her lawyer, Cristina Nedelcu, was awarded fees totaling $ 394,550 through Quebec legal aid.

Stator stabbed 187 times

An informant who had a sordid end told in court that Gregory Woolley had accompanied him as a "back-up" during his first murder because he was "used to".
Aime Simard had a short career in the Rockers' "football team", bringing together the most violent henchmen at the Hells club-school.
However, the jury did not believe him when Simard wanted to incriminate Woolley for the murder of the trafficker Jean-Marc Caissy, Ville-Émard, March 28, 1997.
Originally from Quebec City, Simard testified that he and Woolley each had a vehicle to go to a recreation center where Caissy played hockey that night.
The recruit said he executed the contract, adding that Woolley was armed and ready to intervene in case of a glitch.
Simard then had congratulations at a party at the Rockers' Lair on Gilford Street. The police intercepted a telephone conversation between him and Woolley, who was at home. The latter asked him if there was a lot of people at the party and if the guys were happy.
"Put it on, crunch! I feel almost like a p'lotte, so I'm kissing since I arrived here, "replied Simard.
On July 18, 1998, Woolley was acquitted.
Five years to the day after this verdict, Simard was killed by 187 stab wounds in a Saskatchewan penitentiary.
The detainee who stabbed him admitted that the Hells had paid him $ 25,000 for this crime.

Killing, for him, is like a citizen working from 9 to 5 ... "
It is with this sentence taken note by an investigator of the Carcajou squad that the informer Stéphane Sirois described the coolness of his ex-comrade Gregory Woolley.
The Rockers' striker had the reputation of being "very hardworking" and not afraid of anything, according to Sirois, a former member of the Hells school club.
On December 20, 1996, Pierre Beauchamps, a Rock Machine cocaine supplier, was shot at close range at the wheel of his minivan on a busy St. Catherine Street due to Christmas shopping.
Sirois claimed that Woolley admitted to him that he was the murderer. According to the informer, the accused had asked him to burn the coat he was wearing when he riddled Beauchamps with bullets. A coat that Sirois had offered him in the previous weeks.
Sirois' mission seemed to be won in advance because his testimony served to corroborate almost irrefutable scientific evidence in court.
In fact, Woolley's DNA was identified in a fisherman's hat found in a bin in the Bonaventure metro station. The same bin also contained a revolver, but the accused's fingerprints were not there.
A bit like during the famous trial of O.J. Simpson for the murder of his wife in 1995, Woolley ended up being acquitted as a result of numerous shortcomings in the Crown's case.
Due to a "lack of personnel", the police sent a rookie technician who was on his first-ever murder to document the crime scene.
This policeman not only made several mistakes as a beginner, but he also lied under oath to try to hide some blunders. A "disturbing" case in the eyes of the trial judge, which prompted the defense to evoke the possibility of producing evidence.
In addition, none of the police eyewitnesses had been able to assert under oath that the accused was indeed the gunman. One of them even said in court that it was no longer certain that the suspect was black.

Interesting info Blackmobs.

No problem, trying to share the most infos

The Haitians nowadays are definitely near the top of the table in Montreal organized crime, together with the bikers and the Italians.

The murdered man whose body was found at Saint-Philippe-de-Laprairie this afternoon is Frank Pascal Dieudonné, sources told La Presse from the police and the criminal community.

Dieudonné, 36, nicknamed Tiger, was associated with street gangs. He was the driver and one of Montreal's gang leaders, Arsène Mompoint, police sources told La Presse

According to our information, it was a woman who found Dieudonné's body near the latter's home on Dupuis Street in Saint-Philippe and who informed the police of the Régie intermunicipal police Roussillon.

They began the investigation but since the crime is related to organized crime, the file was transferred to the investigators of the Crimes against the person of the Sûreté du Québec.

For the moment, the exact circumstances and motive of the crime are unknown. However, we know that the victim was killed by a firearm.

Recently released from prison

Last September, Dieudonné and another man of trust of gang leader Arsène Mompoint, Jean Willem Lahens, were arrested by the SPVM police for a narcotics trafficking and possession of weapons.

The charges of drug trafficking had been dropped against Dieudonné, but Dieudonné had pleaded guilty to the possession of a weapon last November. By subtracting the 42 days spent in pre-trial detention, he had only one day in prison to serve.

For his part, Lahens has pleaded guilty to drug trafficking and is expected to be sentenced next week.

Dieudonne had some criminal record. Among other things, he was sentenced to three years for a narcotics case dating from 2015 and four months for a crime of possession of property obtained by crime in 2011.

According to our sources, gang leader Arsene Mompoint is close to influential members of the Montreal mafia, particularly in the Rivière-des-Prairies sector in eastern Montreal.

Peace between street gangs in Montreal: from sworn enemies to business partners.

The last street gang-related murder in Montreal dates back to 2016, while in Toronto it's the root cause of a record of 96 homicides in 2018.

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.

Gangs de rue: des funérailles sous surveillance

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.

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.

https://montrealgazette.com/news/lo...ds-guilty-to-possessing-meth-behind-bars

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.

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.

No immediate parole for gang leader Gregory Woolley

Gang leader Gregory Woolley, considered by the police to be an influential actor in Montreal organized crime with ties to both bikers and the Mafia, will not be able to go to the halfway house as he wished.

Woolley, 48, has just been turned down by parole commissioners, who consider that despite some progress since his last incarceration, the gang leader still poses a significant risk to society.

According to your contributors, your criminality is one of choice, aware and calculated to satisfy an oversized ego, a need to please and control, and fueled by numerous visits to the criminal environment and significant notoriety. "
"The commission has taken into account that you have committed particularly serious crimes considering what drugs can have on society in general and its leverage on crime in particular. Your crimes are made more serious by the fact that you are linked to a criminal organization and that you were placed high in the organizational pyramid. In addition, the commission took into account in its decision that this is your third federal sentence and that there is no criminal lull in your home, "wrote the commissioners in their 10-page decision.
In conflict with a fellow prisoner

They also point out that Woolley is not a subject of interest in relation to a possible involvement in illicit activities in the penitentiary since the beginning of his imprisonment but that he is nonetheless because of his frequentations with individuals linked to organized crime inside the walls, and that he participates in activities organized by them.
The commissioners say that Woolley maintains a cordial relationship with the members of the personnel and his fellow prisoners, but that the intelligence reports "suggest that he would have a major conflict with another inmate".
Greg Woolley said during his hearing that journalists were unable to attend due to the COVID-19 pandemic, according to the report, he had cut ties with his criminal relationships outside and that although he rubs shoulders with them in institutions, this does not mean that he is involved in criminal activities at the penitentiary.

Although you have changed your attitude at the penitentiary, it appeared during the hearing that the number of things you learned while incarcerated is rather limited. In your discussions with the commission, you continue to minimize your involvement and its consequences. You do not take full responsibility for your crimes. You do not seem to have any regrets or remorse except for the consequences that your crimes have had for you. Your answers contain many cognitive distortions and obviously you would have needed to complete the program interrupted because of the virus. You needed it all the more because you are a long-distance individual, considering that you integrated the values ​​of the criminal community as a teenager and cultivated them up to the top of the pyramid. In short, the commission is of the opinion that your prison journey is on a trajectory of change but that these remain embryonic, "write the commissioners in their decision.
Gregory Woolley is currently serving a sentence of more than three and a half years in penitentiary for gangsterism and drug trafficking, following his arrest in the fall of 2018 in the Magot-Mastiff operation by which the Sûreté du Québec beheaded an alliance bikers-mafia-gang who led organized crime in Montreal.
In addition to denying him day parole, the commissioners already impose strict conditions on Gregory Woolley when he is released on statutory release - after serving half his sentence - next fall.
Woolley must remain in a specific location and respect a curfew from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. He will not be able to socialize with anyone with a criminal history or who is linked to a criminal organization. He will not be able to frequent licensed establishments. He must disclose all of his financial transactions and cannot have more than one communication device.

According to information obtained by our Bureau of Investigation, Sacha César-Nelson was a heroin trafficker, even going so far as to resume certain activities that were carried out by the clan of the Scoppa mafia brothers. He could have been the target of a settling of accounts.

https://www.selonwalter.com/les-ori...-de-la-communaute-haitienne-de-montreal/

Article about the origin of haitian gangs in Montreal in the 80s.

We are in the spring of 1982, when racism is at its highest level, in the Rosemont district. Joël, a teenager of Haitian origin, enters the café Les Trois Copains to play Pac-Man and Donkey Kong, the video games of the hour, without suspecting that, like Rosa Parks, he will pose an act of bravery that will forever change the face of the Haitian community in Montreal.

Barely seated in front of one of the café's video games, tension mounts when Joël refuses to comply with the owner and the customers of the establishment who order him to leave the premises because of the color of his skin.

After being pushed around by the horde of racists, the young black man went to seek reinforcement from a man named Ducarme Joseph, alias Kenny, where other friends had gathered to play basketball.

Armed with kitchen knives from "Kenny's" mother and iron bars, there are about a dozen of them in front of Les Trois Copains cafe, which is located on Belair Street, corner 15th avenue, ready to avenge Joël and enforce the law. black skin color.

Faced with the Dessalinian anger of young mutineers who demanded their rights, the café's managers had to seek the intervention of Joel's older brother and promised to make changes to their racist admission policies.

Thus was born the famous Bélanger (The Bélanger Boys for the intimate), the first Haitian street gang in the history of Quebec.

They were just young adolescents who spent most of their time on the basketball court at Parc Sainte-Bernadette on Belanger Street, in order to relieve their feeling of exclusion.

Extensive research has led me to believe that this group of teens would be the first in North America to assert themselves as a Haitian gang, because Haitian-Americans only undertook this perilous adventure towards the end of the years. 80.

A few weeks after his birth, Bélanger, most of whose members attended the Joseph-François-Perreault school, gained momentum after Maxime, the chef, and his comrades J… and CH beat up Meuze, a bully who terrorized them at school.

However, the young Haitians of Montreal found themselves in a double concern: they had to deal with the animosity of the whites of the east of the metropolis who treated them of "cursed n * gre" and the hostility of the English-speaking blacks of the West who called them "f *** ing Haitian".

As a result, three years after the creation of the Bélanger, in 1985, young Haitians from Montreal-North who also wanted to hunt skinheads and tame the wildest racists, formed the Master B, including a large fraction of the group. was located in Saint-Léonard, more precisely in the famous Viau-Robert area, unduly nicknamed "Brooklyn"

Between 1986 and 1989, the phenomenon of gangs in the community grew: the groups Dynamite / Public Enemy (Parc Extension), Gwo Ponyèt (Saint-Léonard) and Family (Anjou) entered the scene and joined the fray. "Tribalist".

Following the death of Chris, a young Haitian without history, who was stabbed at the Tropicana club by John P Gordon, a Jamaican part of the group The Untouchables (the Gordon brothers), the rift between black Anglos and Haitians widens.

Full of arrogance and self-confidence, the Belangers move west of the city to face off against the Uptown Posse (Côte-des-neiges), The Untouchables (Côte-des-neiges) and Downtown Posse (Little Burgundy).

So, in the fall of 1989, the turbulent Haitian community (Bélanger) and the formidable Leslie Presley and his gang engaged in a violent clash at the famous Thunderdome club.

A few months later, on April 9, 1990, a tragic event shook the black community: Leslie Presley became the second black man killed by police when he received six bullets fired by three officers during an intervention following a call for brawl at the Thunderdome club.

A sad end for a young man of 26.

High surveillance release for gang leader Gregory Woolley

After spending the last five years behind bars, Gregory Woolley will be released at two-thirds of his sentence in the coming days, La Presse found, and police fear that the return of the dreaded gang leader to the streets of Montreal will be not do smoothly.

Woolley took up a lot of space in the metropolis between 2012 and 2015, when most of the Hells Angels arrested after Operation SharQc in 2009 were still being held or had to meet conditions.
A trusted man of the late godfather Vito Rizzuto, he also took advantage of this period to get closer to Stefano Sollecito, whom the police considered to be the head of the Montreal mafia in the fall of 2015.

"He's watching my back, I'm watching his," Sollecito said of Woolley in a conversation picked up by investigators during Project Magot-Mastiff.
Changes

But five years later, sources wonder if Stefano Sollecito's influence as the leader of the Sicilian clan of the Montreal mafia is still as great.

The Hells Angels are now the strongest in Quebec, including in parts of the metropolis, police say.
The plot to kill Raynald Desjardins, which Woolley allegedly hatched in 2015 with former Hells Angels warrior Maurice Boucher, has not been unanimous among bikers, according to our information.
That's without counting gang members, who might take a dim view of Woolley's eventual return, still remembering a forced gang union in blood in 2012.

According to our information, Montreal organized crime has profited from the pandemic, by going back into the shadows and making a lot of money with its traditional activities: sports betting, underground gambling, drug trafficking and others. Everything is fine, then. And when everything is going well, there are no conflicts.

It will be necessary to see the place and the part that the environment will reserve for it. He may not have the same role and importance as before. The stars are no longer aligned for him as they were in 2012 ", analyzes a source.
“When Woolley was around, there was a course for others to follow. If he wants to take his place and reestablish that course of action, it might not be to everyone's satisfaction and there might be a stir. If Woolley wants to resume his place, he will have to deal with new facts that emerged during his detention, ”adds an observer of the criminal and police scene in Montreal.


https://www.lapresse.ca/actualites/...pour-le-chef-de-gang-gregory-woolley.php

I think Wooley will have is place in the biker world like he always had. He’s good with the mob because of is link with Rizzuto et Sollecito.
Its the gang world and the lebanese world.... he’s probably good with most of the Crips and some Bloods.
But look like he got some issues with some Bloods from the eastern part of the city. Some of Wooley guys put a hit on Mompoint, a blood veteran that tried to take over after Wooley went to jail. After that you had some bloods gang members that were killed one week apart, and they were all linked to Scoppa and probably lebanese and the heroin drug game.

Well will see in the future how that go....

Are there any other places where Haitian organized crime is strong?
The Montreal Crips and Bloods are obvious and the Zoe Pound in Florida is infamous as well, but I can't really find a lot of information on major Haitian gangs in other areas.

Haitians criminals got a presence in cities like New York and Atlanta. But it look like in Atltanta they hang with other blacks. While in New York, you had the Haitian Mafia Crips that were a presence in Brooklyn Flatbush.
You also had some haitian gangsters in the 90s, like Haitian Jack, Jimmy Henchmann and others, but it look like they were doing things with other blacks also.

Haitians crime groups also jave a presence in other caribbean islands, like in the Bahamas.
But, its true, Montreal and Florida are the strongehold of haitian organized crime groups outside of Haiti.

Who would you say are the most notable Haitian gangs in Montreal these days?

I used to hear the most about the Crack Down Posse and the Bo Gars

@TheKillingJoke Crqck down posse and BO are in there 50s and mid 50s. The news from Montreal are not very informed on Montreal gangs, so they will use the name of CDP, BO etc for gangs, but the young ones have there own gangs, many that are linked to cdp and BO, but still different.

And in Montreal, the most powerful are the one at the top with Wooley. Old members of the cdp’s, BO, bad boys etc.

The most notable are the ones that putting work and make rap videos.

R these street gangs operating independently or r they doing the legwork for Mafia groups in that part of city?
Marco Pizzi Davide Barberio and possible remnants of Giuseppe DeVito/Alessandro sucapanes groups r known to operate in that part of city.

Well some work independently, some work with the mafia or other group like the bikers.
In the eastern part of montreal, montreal north and rdp, street gangs have a long history of beef with the mafia.
And they were against the hells angels during the biker war

Murder of Raynald Desjardins' best friend No parole for one of the convicts

Considering his lack of motivation and that the risks of violent recidivism are high, especially if he starts associating with gang members again, the parole commissioners of Canada have refused to grant his parole to Edrick Antoine, sentenced to nine years. imprisonment for plotting the murder of Gaetan Gosselin, committed on January 31, 2013, in Montreal.

Gaetan Gosselin was Raynald Desjardins' best friend and trusted man, and took care of the latter's family, while the boss was detained, awaiting trial for the murder of aspiring godfather Salvatore Montagna .
Gosselin, 69, was killed while taking out his trash after running errands. He was shot dead by an individual who then fled in a car driven by Antoine.
The killers spied on their victim for at least two days. They did not take action the day before because a father and son were walking on the sidewalk as Gosselin returned home.

The assassination of Gaetan Gosselin has always been interpreted by the police as the accomplishment of the revenge of the former godfather of the Montreal mafia, Vito Rizzuto, against Desjardins, whose group was involved in a bloody putsch against the clan of Sicilians in 2009 and 2010.
But in the parole board decision, it is written that Antoine’s case file would indicate that the murder was committed in the context of maintaining control of drug trafficking in a territory.
“You say you learned that a rival gang was angry with you and one of your friends, and that you had no choice but to act if you wanted to stay alive. You saw murder as the only solution. You were comfortable with your involvement in the murder of an individual linked to organized crime, ”the commissioners write in their seven-page decision.
Deported to Canada

We learn that Antoine, 42, was born in Canada, but around the age of 5, he and his family moved to another country. He remained there until he was deported to Canada at the age of 19. His criminal career began two years later. Over the years, he has been charged with drug trafficking, conspiracy, possession of weapons, theft, extortion, threats and obstruction of justice. He was on probation at the time of Gosselin's murder.
The intelligence services identify Antoine as being linked to the street gangs of Red allegiance in the Montreal-North sector, which he admits while denying however being a leader.
Behind bars, Antoine was the subject of disciplinary reports; he allegedly threatened a correctional officer by telling him that he would find him after the end of his sentence, in 2023. Another time, he and co-accused delayed the count of inmates by prolonging their exercises in the gym of the jail. He was then moved from sector.
During the first six months following his conviction for the murder of Gaetan Gosselin, Antoine was placed in protection at the penitentiary because he allegedly had a contract on his head.
He continued to maintain ties with individuals linked to street gangs throughout his detention.
Antoine continued his studies, followed programs and worked in the penitentiary.
During the hearing, he said that his incarceration was the best thing that made him realize his lifestyle. He also said he finds it difficult not to see his family anymore. He added that his incarceration had deterrent effects but that to increase his chances of rehabilitation, he had to stay away from "negative" individuals.
“Your criminal history is acquisitive in nature, making money quickly and easily, with highly criminalized individuals. It demonstrates a deep-rooted, highly criminalized criminal attitude and a search for power to enforce your status within street gangs. At the time of your arrest, you were described as the leader of the red street gangs in Montreal-North, ”write the commissioners, before rejecting his request for release.
Raynald Desjardins, meanwhile, will be released after two-thirds of his sentence, under severe conditions, in the coming days.

Street gang member who acted as getaway driver in St-Léonard Mob hit denied parole.

The gang leader Arsène Mompoint back in the street

Immediately after pleading guilty to counts of conspiracy and drug trafficking, gang leader Arsène Mompoint was sentenced to one day in prison and will be released on Friday.

Mompoint had nothing to do with the network, prosecutor Me Mathieu Longpré told Judge Salvatore Mascia of the Court of Quebec on Friday, but thanks to listening and monitoring, investigators were able to prove that the gang leader was involved in a transaction for tens of thousands of MDA pills, and he kept 100,000 pills as collateral.
In effect, the judge sentenced Mompoint to 29 months and five days, but this equates to the time spent in preventive detention, which is calculated in time and a half, due to the conditions of detention.
The gang leader is however subject to a two-year probation during which he will have to respect conditions: he is forbidden to communicate with his co-accused of Project Asterios, to communicate with anyone with a criminal history, to possess a weapon. and using drugs, except marijuana, on a medical prescription.
Mompoint is on a lifelong gun possession order and will be required to provide a DNA sample. He will have to collect his passport from Passport Canada, he who was about to leave the country and was arrested at Trudeau Airport on the morning of the search.

A contractual

During his release investigation, a DCO investigator testified that Mompoint and his group were "contractors" for organized crime.

Just before the summer of 2019, source information wanted Mr. Mompoint to be active in murder contracts, so find people to execute the contracts or do them himself. It comes up regularly with his name, in the middle, "said investigator Francis Derome.
Arsène Mompoint had also testified and recounted having spent more than two months in Haiti, at the beginning of 2019, to erect fences around the land of his parents.
He introduced himself as an assistant construction project manager and said he worked for a company that has a $ 30 million condo tower site in Terrebonne.
Arsène Mompoint has a heavy judicial past, especially in the theft and possession of weapons.

https://www.lapresse.ca/actualites/...rsene-mompoint-de-retour-dans-la-rue.php

Mompoint is an enemy of Wooley. And he was working with Scoppa.

Guess an alliance with Desjardins could be probable, yall think ?

if desjardins plans on returning to a life of crime he is going to have to find alliances somewhere.
almost all of his past associates r in jail or dead.
mompoint is not considered an allie of the rizzuto/sollecito faction so very possible.

What about the relatives he has via marriage of his daughter to some Calabrese, how can’t those people be considered in danger as well? When you kill peoples’ kids they might just be waiting for peoples’ to grow up or have them before the kill in revenge.

I dont know how Desjardins will work with the different italian factions in Montreal. Does the italian families that were against the Rizzuto are still strong to continue the war ?

For the haitian gangs, since there is no monopoly over the hatian groups, Desjardins could have allies with the haitian gangs that are not welcome or dont want to be in the Woolley alliance.
They tried to kill BM, and killed many of is friends... so maybe
BM was link with the Scoppa organization
And, BM seem also to be link with the biker world. Mostly puppet clubs of the Hells.

Desjardins will have to play chess with the different branch of the montreal criminal
World, to go againt the Rizzuto-Sollectio-Woolley alliance

Also, many bloods got killed. Most of them were with BM.
Don’t know if they were also with Chenier Dupuy. But it was known that many blood gang members from the eastern part of montreal didn’t want to be align with Woolley organization.

And its kind of weird, that many drug players in montreal that were killed, we heroin traffickers and allied with Scoppa.

I just realized, there is mostly no chance that Desjardins could allied himself with the group of BM. Since Joe di Maulo was killed by people affiliated with BM(or same group).

So BM could be on the hit list of Desjardins

Any word on this guy, he’s from Nova Scotia, I met him through the guys that run MMA in Oakville, right down from the Halton Police Station. They shut the whole operation down because of #METOO allegations, how can’t the cops be with people like this?

Investigators from the Service de police de la Ville de Montréal (SPVM) arrested a few weeks ago and Thursday two individuals linked to a new “inclusive” biker group including a former gang leader expelled from Canada in 2014, but returned to the country after obtaining his citizenship, La Presse learned.

The group, which would have been created last year and would have a presence mainly in Montreal and Laval, is called Moors, North Shore section (north shore) and its best known member is Richard Goodridge.
Since their appearance, the Moors have been seen by police on a few occasions, wearing a typical biker jacket. On the back of it, their name, logo and region are sewn in three parts, with the letters MC, for motorcycle club, like the motorcycle clubs approved by the Hells Angels.
Their logo features a man wearing an oriental hairstyle and holding various objects. Originally, the Moors (Moors, in French) took their name from the populations of Berber origin who lived in North Africa during Antiquity.
According to our sources, one of the Moors' philosophies is to be more "inclusive" than other biker groups.
The best-known member of the Moors is Richard Goodridge, 52, deported from Canada to his home country Guyana in 2014 for serious criminality, but returned to Montreal two years later, presumably after obtaining his Canadian citizenship. , according to sources.

In 2016, a spokesperson for Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada told La Presse that due to the Privacy Act, he was unable to disclose information about Richard Goodridge. without their consent.

His Moors jacket seized

According to our information, Richard Goodridge's residence in Laval was searched Thursday by investigators from the Organized Crime Division (DCO) of the SPVM, as part of an investigation into an attempted murder with a firearm that occurred in daylight, in an alley at the corner of Saint-Dominique and Saint-Zotique streets, in Little Italy, on April 20.
Goodridge was not charged, however, but Moors cell phones, clothing and a jacket were found at his home and seized.

On the other hand, an individual who would be an aspiring member of the Moors, Steven Thérien, and another who would be a member of the Moors, Patrick Gilbert, were arrested and charged following this event during which they would have been present, according to the claims of police and prosecution.
In a residence in Blainville connected to Thérien, the police would have found Thursday in particular a pistol, a revolver and a jacket of the Moors. The 30-year-old has been charged with possession of a weapon and breach of conditions.
The prosecution opposed his release and his bail hearing has been set for next week.
As for Gilbert, 46, he was arrested on the day of the incident, April 20, thanks to the speed of intervention and the insight of two policemen on bicycles.
At around 2 p.m., witnesses heard seven or eight gunshots and saw four men running away before two vehicles left the area on hats.
Alerted by the 911 calls, officers Patrick Langevin and Yves Desjardins arrested Patrick Gilbert as he was presumably fleeing the scene in a Honda CRV.
Crack and cocaine were found in the SUV and on the driver. Gilbert was arrested and charged with possession of narcotics for the purpose of trafficking.
Police believe a deal gone wrong could be the source of the gunfire. Seven cartridge cases were found at the scene, according to reports read by the prosecutor during the investigation into Gilbert's release.

Look like Goodridge made an biker club, mostly of black members. And it will be a puppet club for the hells angels

WHO IS RICHARD GOODRIDGE?

Nicknamed Black Jew

During the 1990s, member of the Scorpions, linked to the Rockers, the late Hells Angels club-school.
During the biker war, he had been seen in a convoy in which was Maurice Boucher.
In the mid-2000s, he founded a street gang called 67 with the late caïd Ducarme Joseph.
The two men subsequently fell out and the police suspected Goodridge of having played a role in the attack on Joseph in the latter's clothing store in Old Montreal in March 2010. However, Goodridge did not. never been charged in connection with this matter.
During the 1990s and 2000s, Goodridge was the victim of at least four attempted murders, including one in which a projectile severed his finger in Toronto.
Although well known to police officers, Richard Goodridge has little criminal record.
He was pulled over in a car with a gun in Toronto in 2004.
In Quebec, he was convicted of two counts of gun possession and credit card theft. He was acquitted or had the judicial process stopped in several other cases.
Last December, he was charged with assault and assault with a weapon in an event that occurred last October in Laval. He has pleaded not guilty and the proceedings are still ongoing.
OTHER EMERGING INTEREST GROUPS

In addition to the Moors, police and correctional officers are interested in two other groups that emerged in 2020 and 2021, the Vikings and the Red Power Crew.
Members of the Vikings, including rappers who post videos on YouTube, wear clothing displaying the group's name, along with the letters GDR, for "street gang."
Police say they are linked to the Hells Angels and would not hesitate to use violence.
We would find them everywhere in Quebec, but they are more present in the regions of Montreal, Gatineau, Laval and Granby.
They sell clothes with their effigy on social networks or in a room in Granby.
The Red Power Crew would form a clique affiliated with the Hells Angels. Individuals wearing their clothes were seen at the funeral of Hells Angel Paul Magnan, which took place in Saint-Ubalde, in the Capitale-Nationale region, on May 1.

The Hip Hop artist Shyne who was a gangster that has done time, also got into Judaism, pretty sure it’s the 5 Ring Stuff that Biggie was into.

Same as the guys that stabbed MOM Boucher in prison.

https://www.nytimes.com/2010/11/11/arts/music/11shyne.html

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9gJLlEWQHI

I dont think Goodridge is called Black Jew because of his religion.
Goodridge is known in the criminal world to be really rich, so thats why they call him Black Jew, because he got alot of money, connections and real estate.
Another nickname beside Black Jew is Richie Rich

Nice! Right on, thanks.

Gang leader Arsène Mompoint was shot and killed in the late afternoon in Kanesatake indigenous territory, near Oka, La Presse has learned from several sources.

Mompoint is said to have been shot at least one round of a firearm in the Greenroom on St. Michael's Road, near where a large rally took place two weeks ago.
According to our information, Arsène Mompoint was also involved in the organization of this event.
Arsène Mompoint, 47, was released from prison last April after being arrested in an anti-drug investigation by the Service de police de la Ville de Montréal (SPVM).
During his release investigation, an investigator from the Organized Crime Division of the SPVM, Francis Derome, testified and said that Mompoint and his group were "contractors" for organized crime.
“Just before the summer of 2019, source information was that Mr. Mompoint was active in murder contracts, so find people to execute the contracts or do them himself. It comes up regularly with his name, in the middle, "said the investigator.

Arsène Mompoint had a long legal history, especially in theft and possession of weapons.
In June 2017, he was sentenced to 25 months in prison after being arrested with a gun.
During these procedures, another SPVM investigator revealed that Arsène Mompoint was linked to street gangs of red allegiance and that he had been the leader of a group that allegedly executed several contracts, including murders, for the crime. organized, especially the Mafia, in recent years.

The investigator also said that police believed Mompoint was seeking to take the place of influential gang leader Gregory Woolley following the latter's arrest in the Magot-Mastiff investigation by which the Sûreté du Québec beheaded Montreal organized crime in November 2015. Woolley is currently on parole.

In August 2019, Mompoint was shot in the arm during an attempted murder in the borough of Saint-Léonard. During the investigation into the release of his alleged attacker, a police witness said that Mompoint was then the subject of a lucrative contract on his head.
"One day or another, it will brew, it's inevitable," had confided, after the release of Mompoint in April, an investigator to La Presse, on condition of anonymity, because he is not authorized to talk to the media.
The investigation into the murder of Arsène Mompoint is being led by Crimes Against the Person investigators from the Sûreté du Québec.

Did he side with Desjardins? Are people considering this the first move in the renewed war? Rizzuto/Sollecito/Woolley vs Desjardins/Whoever?

Dont think he was with Desjardins , since the guys who killed Di Maulo were linked to Mompoint.
I think it was more about killing all the people who were linked with Scoppa. Also, he was a major player
That was against Woolley

Cool, thanks!

Was the area where he was whacked, not the same area where HA Martin Robert’s Old Lady is from, the Native Rez?

Was it this Mompoint that dated her Mom, or some other guy(Minotaurs of something?)

Yes, this is the place were the wife of robert martin is from, and her mom control the territory

Dont know who the mother dated

I thought it was that guy or some dude that looked like that guy (Fritz Paul or Clairmont) some Haitian?

As well as Sergio Piccirilli.

“ Sergio Piccirilli, 56, testified last month at the sentencing stage of the case where he was found guilty of 23 charges related to Project Cleopatra, an RCMP investigation into drug trafficking that centered on the activities of his former girlfriend, Sharon Simon. She was among 36 people, including two former police officers, who were arrested.

Sharon Simon, nicknamed the Queen of Kanesatake, operated out of her luxury home in Kanesatake, exporting large quantities of marijuana and ecstacy into the United States. She had "very close ties" to the Hells Angels. She exported about 45 kilograms of marijuana to the United States per week using the Hells Angels distribution network. Simon laundered $4.8 million US in a 5 month period.”

You know anything about the Street Gangs in Hamilton?

They seem to have HA connections, as well as mob (apparently a cousin of Joe Violi). Some guy on here told me that a cousin of Joe Violi was cool with the shooter in the Angelo Musitano murder (Cudmore).

Cudmore was a street gang leader with HA ties and boys from his gang that are HAs in Hamilton.

Sharon Simon’s house burnt down about 1 1/2 years ago.

https://montreal.ctvnews.ca/a-late-night-fire-has-destroyed-a-luxury-home-in-kanesatake-1.4781992

Paul is a common family name in the haitian community. And there is two family of Paul that are notorious in the bloods gangs of east of montreal (big players).

And I dont know about the street gang scene in Hamilton. I dont even know who are the players over there. I know that the mafia is strong, but also the bikers.

Also in the region of niagara falls, it was know that many bloods gang pimps used to send many stripers and prostitutes over there. And some blood gang members (probably crips also) were staying over there. But I’m not 100% sure

Right on, thanks.

I used to know a guy that was a Blood General out of Mississauga, he would rob the bikers for drugs and cash. Even think he got into something with those type of people out in Fort McMurray or something like that.

At a certain street level, things tend to even out. It’s not until you get up there that cops and politicians become part of it, street gangs need to figure out how to bridge that gap.

Murder of Arsène Mompoint Suspicious vehicle may have been found set on fire

Arsène Mompoint was a major player in organized crime in Montreal.

A burned-out vehicle was found this morning in Oka. The Sûreté du Québec (SQ) does not exclude that it could be the SUV that would have been used by the individual suspected of having killed the gang leader Arsène Mompoint Thursday afternoon on the indigenous territory of Kanesatake.

In a statement, however, the SQ indicates that analyzes of the scene are underway to confirm whether it is indeed the suspect vehicle. At one time, this practice - setting fire to a vehicle that was used to commit a murder - was considered by the police to be the hallmark of bikers.

Earlier Friday morning, the Sûreté du Québec announced that it was looking for a suspect and a vehicle in connection with the murder of gang leader Arsène Mompoint, who was shot several times late Thursday afternoon.
SQ released a photo of the suspect, a man who wore a black cap, gray hoodie and black pants. The individual also had his face covered in a gray bandana.

As for the vehicle he is said to have used, it is said to be a Ford sport utility vehicle, an older model, in a pale color.

Arsène Mompoint, 47, was shot several times while in a cannabis dispensary, the Green Room, on Rang Saint-Michel (or Route 344) in Kanesatake.
The big rally that took place two weeks ago in Kanesatake took place at the Green Room. According to our information, Arsène Mompoint was involved in this event and was recently informed that he was no longer welcome on the indigenous territory.
A knowledgeable Montreal organized crime observer, consulted by La Presse and who requested anonymity, believes the murder of Mompoint was not linked to a conflict with Aboriginal people. He also wonders whether the killer could thus have approached his victim in a territory where, however, the presence of a stranger is often quickly detected.
Long targeted

Arsène Mompoint was a major player in organized crime in Montreal.
Police saw him as a contractor for the Mafia and other organized crime factions. According to our information, he was involved in or ordered several murders and other crimes that have occurred in recent years in the Montreal region, and even in other countries.
It was known that he was in conflict with other major players in Montreal organized crime.
In 2019, he was the victim of an attempted murder. A suspect was arrested and during court proceedings a police officer said sources said Mompoint had been under a lucrative contract on his head for at least the eight or nine months prior to the attack.
Shortly after the attempted murder, Mompoint was arrested during an anti-drug investigation by the SPVM and had been released from prison since mid-April.

Assassination of Arsène Mompoint: a murder signed by organized crime

Carefully planned, the murder of gang leader Arsène Mompoint on Thursday on the Kanesatake indigenous reserve bears the typical signature of organized crime in every way.
The discovery on Friday morning of a burned-out vehicle that was presumably used by the Mompoint assassin is strangely reminiscent of the Hells Angels' way of doing things during the biker wars between 1994 and 2002.

The charred sport utility vehicle (SUV) was found in an uncrowded, abandoned area in a tree-lined field on Hagia Sophia, just 10 km from where the murder was committed.

Murder of Arsène Mompoint Gang leader caught by surprise, video shows

Arsène Mompoint and members of his entourage were taken completely by surprise by the killer who shot the gang leader on Thursday in Kanesatake, according to a video of the crime circulating since Saturday on social networks.

In the 20-second video obtained by La Presse, we can see what we wrote on Saturday morning: Mompoint was seated with other individuals to the right of the entrance, in the cannabis store The Green Room, on route 344, in Kanesatake. He had his back to the entrance when the suspect immediately walked over to the table, approached him quietly from behind, pulled a handgun from his kangaroo's pocket and opened fire, before to run away.

The suspect was about two meters from Mompoint when he fired. While the shooter was hugging his neck, those accompanying Arsène Mompoint hurriedly left the store, leaving the victim there.

Mompoint, who was the victim of an attempted murder in 2019, just before being arrested in a drug operation, has been low-key and on guard since being released from prison in mid-April because he knew his life could be threatened.
Video appears to show he and his bodyguards let their guard down and must have felt safe the moment the gunman entered the store and shot the gang leader several times down.
Another hypothesis that the Sûreté du Québec (SQ) Crimes Against the Person investigators, who are leading the investigation, will have to examine is that the victim was betrayed or fell into a trap.
Getaway vehicle set on fire

The crime was well planned. The suspect is said to have arrived at the scene in an old model Ford sport utility vehicle, in a pale color, a photo of which the SQ released on Friday.

Ya’ll can see the video of the hit in the article.

Look like it was probably a set up.
Cuz there was so many people at the table.
So probably a set up or the hitman got really big balls

Murder in Montreal-North The victim was associating with individuals linked to organized crime

Montreal) The 43-year-old man gunned down Monday night in the Montreal-North borough is Ernst Exantus, has learned from La Presse, an individual observed by police in a few major investigations in recent years.

The crime was committed around 11:50 pm Monday evening on the avenue de Paris, near the rue Monselet.

After witnesses contacted 911 for gunfire, police were dispatched to the scene and found the victim lying unconscious on Avenue de Paris. Resuscitation maneuvers were carried out by the patrollers, in vain, and the death was pronounced on the spot by the paramedics of Urgences-santé.
"The victim was hit with at least one projectile of a firearm in the upper body," said Constable Jean-Pierre Brabant of the Service de police de la Ville de Montréal (SPVM).
No one has been arrested. The investigation is being carried out by major crime investigators from the SPVM.
According to our information, Exantus, alias Kadhafi or Yéyé, was once part of the close guard of gang leader Ducarme Joseph, assassinated in 2014.

During the Magot Mastiff investigation, by which the Sûreté du Québec dismantled a motorcycle-mafia-gang alliance that led Montreal's organized crime in November 2015, Exantus was seen meeting a man connected to the mafia.

https://www.lapresse.ca/actualites/...des-individus-lies-au-crime-organise.php

According to our sources, Exantus was part or serious in the entourage of the Minotaurs, a motorcycle club linked to the Hells Angels dismantled by investigators from the Organized Crime Division of the SPVM in 2019 in an investigation dubbed Asterios.

Was Arsène Mompoint Minotaurs as well?

“ Thirty people, including members of a puppet club of the Hells Angels, were targeted, mainly in Montreal. Many of the Minotaur biker club have been arrested and face various charges including drug trafficking, weapons possession and more.

One of the people arrested this morning is Arsene Mompoint, an influential gang leader in Montreal. Mompoint, 46, was arrested at Trudeau Airport as he was preparing to fly to Haiti. In total, 40 searches were carried out that resulted in seizures including 11 kg of cocaine, five kg of MDA, close to 600,000 meth tablets, eight firearms and $122,460. Minotaures West Montreal motorcycle club are suspected of leading a heroin and cocaine distribution ring.

The Minotaurs were created in 2017. Police believe the Minotaurs were paying a tax to the Hells Angels for the sale of drugs.

Their trade is in Hochelaga-Maisonneuve, Rosemont and East Montreal. They reportedly have taken over territory formerly belonging to the Syndicate, the defunct organization of jailed gang leader Gregory Woolley.”

It’s an old article! Seemed like they all had a beef or stoled from Picasso! Are Martin Robert and Rizzuto/Sollecito/Woolley cool?

The guy got whacked on basically Martin Robert territory.

Its look more like the Minotaures are allied with Woolley. Many people from the Minotaures or K-crew and syndicates are all allies.

But, its seem like BM might had problems with the Minotaures, who are probaly align with Woolley

I think the alliance of Rizzuto/ Sollecito/Woolley ate probably cool with Martin Robert.
Since, Wolley work with the hells.
And if the two parties were not cool… the street would be really hot

Right on, thanks.

Wasn’t Woolley originally cool with Mom Boucher, they both tried to kill Desjardins in 2015. Any idea how if at all that works into what’s up in Montreal?

Seems like the Hells have distanced themselves from Mom as of early 2014?

Thanks, again!

Any truth that the most recent guy whacked was cool with Ducarme Joseph, as well?

Woolley was always cool with Mom, since the 90s. Woolley was a member of the Master B street gang, after he became a member of the Rockers MC ( a puppet club of the Hells during the biker war). After he created the Syndicates, a gang composed of many haitians mostly from crip gangs that were working with the Hells.
And now, woolley is one of the key player in the organized crime world between the Rizzuto/ Sollectio, street gangs and hells.
For now, I dont know about Mom and is place in the criminal world. Maybe someone who is closer the the biker world would know more

Yes he was close to Ducarme
But look like he was close or maybe a member of the Minotaures MC. So him being killed is mostly
About something between Wooley and Mompoint, and not is association with Ducarme.

Cool, thanks! Thought I’d ask, it seems like it’s all linked anyways.

I’ve asked a couple people and it seems from them that MOM still has people that are loyal to him, as well as him potentially being involved with Stockford becoming part of the Sherbrooke Charter.

As well as Stadnik being able to re-establish his Mob connections via the remaining long standing ones in Hamilton, and their international community.

Most of the street gangs guys I knew in that area were either Vietnamese or Jamaican, if those guys in Hamilton can get a guy like Woolley, that could change that scene.

How did Woolley even get around guys like MOM in the first place, MOM was pretty close to Vito Rizzuto and Walter Stadnik, Vito could talk to both of them, neither of them spoke each other’s language.

Is Woolley Bilingual?

I dont know about the gang scene in Hamilton. Its does make sense about jamaican gangs operating in the city, since its a couple of hours from Toronto.

Woolley got around Mom Boucher, like many other haitians or jamaicans got around people like rizzuto or members of the irish mob.
Montreal is a small city, so when you got a group of criminals who have the capacity to make money or hits, you will have the chance to meet and be part of big players.
During the biker war between the Hells and the Rock Machine, haitian gang members were also picking side during the war. The CDP’s align themself with the Hells , and the BO’s align themself with the Rock Machine. And many bikers were killed by haitian hitmen that sere doing hits during the war. Woolley was one of those guys. He was doing hits, but was also a very good buisness man and leader. So people like Woolley and Goodridge became more and more connect with the Hells, because they were simply good.
They are probably other haitians, jamaicans or ethnicities that are very powerful in the montreal criminal world, we just dont esr about them

Another thing, the new generation of gangsters for the biker world, the mon world and street gangs world, many of them went to the same schools, or lived in neighborhoods really close from one an the other.
Many young italian mobster, will mostly know about blood gang members because of the neighborhood they share. Same with the bikers

Thanks for the new news, would you be able to ask if anyone knew a Montreal cop 👮‍♀️ named Jean Paul Belisle circa 2001 or so. He speaks that he had a contract on his life in Montreal from some street gang from working in the discoteca. Curious if that was ever true?

https://www.algonquincollege.com/ppsi/contact-card/john-belisle/

He never said how he got it off, but the guy was an undercover as well and was up to whatever got a murder contract on him at cop college in Hamilton. He’s got a long list of victims, curious if he was doing the same in Montreal before moving to the Peel cops, then Hamilton.

He’s got a crew of his boys, Phil Genovese, Jason Motard, Matt Timmins, Gavin Hesson, Adrian Woolley, Matt McCauley, Ryan Guav, Matt Latimer, Stephen Metelsky, Richard Bondock, Scott Macovi, Matt Girgenti, Gianni Slbendorio, Sam Moore, Jack Vanderpoole and Jayce Gould, these guys are a mix of Peel/Hamilton cops, wanna be gangsters in Hamilton and pretty boy wanna bes.

His other boy works at the Military barracks in Hamilton, Peter St. Denis.

According to our information, the investigators met at least fifteen members of the Hells Angels from the five sections of the province, including influential members of the sections of Montreal and South. They let them know that they would constantly be on their backs to fight gun violence and arms trafficking.

Can the Hells Angels stop the shooting between the differents street gangs in Montreal ?

Are The Hell's Angels made up of different ethnic groups newer to the country, or are they all and third and fourth generation Canadians?

In Quebec, the hells are mostly made of french-canadians. You also have italians and anglo-canadians.

In the puppet clubs, you have others ethnicities, like you have some

November 19, 2015, Sûreté du Québec headquarters, rue Parthenais, Montreal

- It's an important day for you, Greg! Probably the one that will have the most impact in your life. I can tell you that from today your life will change completely.
Gregory Woolley sketches a barely perceptible smirk on hearing Detective Sergeant Steve Girard give him this warning in a tone yet quite convincing. Two hours earlier, the influential gangster was dragged out of bed by a group of police who came to apprehend him at his home. In total, four autopatrols were mobilized, each identified with one of the police forces participating in this large-scale operation: the Sûreté du Québec, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, the Service de police de la Ville de Montréal and the Service de la Ville de Montréal. of the Longueuil agglomeration. Woolley was then escorted to Sûreté du Québec headquarters on Parthenais Street in Montreal while police searched his residence in Saint-Hubert. This morning, the ex-Hells Angels henchman, who many now call "the black godfather" of street gangs in Montreal, was not the only one leaving his home in handcuffs. About 40 other suspects, including heads of the Montreal mafia and members of the Hells, are also targeted in this large-scale crackdown.

It's 8:15 am Woolley has spent the last 60 minutes, eyes closed, slumped in an office chair, when Sergeant Girard walks into the small, gray-walled interrogation room where silence reigned. The 43-year-old is dressed in a white t-shirt and jogging pants; he does not even sit up when the investigator asks him to sit "properly". Visibly sleep deprived, he casually supports his head with his right hand, while the rest of the body is leaning against a small table that separates him from the policeman. His body language is unambiguous: Woolley doesn't want to hear from the investigator. While trying to stay calm, he remains silent as a carp when Girard asks him questions. Worse, pretending to ignore it, he does not even deign to look in the direction of the policeman, who is to his right. Woolley remained behind bars between 2000 and 2011 for conspiracy to murder, drug trafficking and gangsterism, and he now faces those same charges. But he has seen others.

During the 1990s, during the time of the biker wars, the leader of the Hells Angels, Maurice "Mom" Boucher, recruited this member of a street gang to make him one of the henchmen of this criminal gang. According to the internal rules of the Hells, no black can be admitted as a member in good standing of the "big club". However, in the summer of 1998, four days after being acquitted of the murder of a trafficker linked to their rivals Rock Machine, Woolley still obtained his "patches" as a member of the Montreal Rockers, the dreaded club-school of the Hells. . A few years later, Woolley was charged with another murder, that of Pierre Beauchamp, a Rock Machine cocaine supplier. On December 20, 1996, Beauchamp was killed at close range while driving his minivan on Sainte-Catherine Street, then busy due to Christmas shopping. The Crown believed it had irrefutable proof of the accused's guilt. Woolley’s DNA was found in a fisherman’s hat found in a trash can at the Bonaventure metro station, in which the Montreal police also found a gun identified as the murder weapon. But the police officer tasked with documenting the evidence-gathering at the scene was a recruit, on his very first career murder case. He not only made several rookie mistakes, but he also lied under oath during the trial, in order to cover up his mistakes. Citing the fabrication of evidence thesis, the defense asked the jury to find Woolley not guilty. All the more so since no fingerprints could be identified on the gun and no eyewitnesses were able to incriminate the accused. Woolley had again been acquitted.

On that rainy and windy morning of November 19, 2015, Sergeant Girard occasionally continues to ask questions of what he simply calls Greg. But he receives no response from her. Obviously, Woolley, who is known to the police for not being talkative with them, will still live up to his reputation and remain silent. So Girard will speak. It's still early days anyway, and there's no rush until Woolley's scheduled afternoon appearance.
Sergeant Girard is not the first to come to the investigation of murders and murder plots. In addition, he knows a little about the world of organized crime. He notably participated in the Baladeur investigation project, following which Gérald Gallant, the contract killer of the enemies of the Hells Angels during the biker war, became an informer, admitted to being the author of 28 murders, in addition to denounce the sponsors and accomplices of his crimes. Investigator Girard also arrested the boss Raynald Desjardins in December 2011 for a murder plot targeting Salvatore Montagna, an aspiring patron of the Montreal Mafia. A few months earlier, Desjardins had survived a flurry of projectiles fired in his direction with an AK-47 machine gun.
Desjardins, who suspected Montagna to be behind the attack, admitted his guilt the previous summer and is still awaiting sentence as Girard attempts to cook Woolley. This is good: Raynald Desjardins will be mentioned during this questioning which will have quite a long monologue.

Girard takes his time, even if Woolley would prefer to get it over with as soon as possible. Dressed in a purple shirt, dark gray pants, and a black tie, the sergeant brought his chair up to Woolley's. The two men, who both have shaved heads, are very close to each other. Their knees are almost touching. Sometimes Woolley has his eyes riveted on the ground, sometimes he looks straight ahead, never meeting the policeman's gaze. Girard, on the contrary, does not take his eyes off him for a moment. He speaks to her in a measured but firm tone, while frantically chewing on an eraser. The investigator has placed a laptop on the small table, but he does not need it at this time.
"We showed up at your place this morning at 6 am," Girard told him, starting to explain to Woolley how and why he found himself confined against his will to a police station rather than lying in bed. To notify you of our presence in front of your house, we turned on the flashing lights of our four patrol vehicles and one of the vehicles woke you with a siren. Me and my colleague Martin Robert, we knocked on your door. I showed my police badge to the surveillance camera. You came to open. You were in your underwear. I showed you we have a warrant to arrest you. You took the time to read it. I informed you that you were under arrest for conspiracy to traffic cocaine and gangsterism. And also for a murder plot that you made with Maurice "Mom" Boucher and her daughter ... "

Today, as you can see, some big names have fallen. Big hitters. Rizzuto, Sollecito, today, it was not expected to fall. Mr. Cavaliere, he didn't think his legal career was going to end today. You are the common denominator that makes the majority of people in that group fall today. The manager, Greg, is you. It is your actions that cause the image of crime in Montreal to change completely from today. It's your fault. What I know about you is that you're not the type to talk to the police or yell at the police. But be man enough to listen to what's against you. "
Greg, you got out of prison in 2011. And already in 2012, our news sources told us that you wanted to take your place back at all costs. That you were prepared to use violence, murder, to make your place. That you wanted to bring everyone together. That you were a ticking time bomb. And that you were on the verge of getting out of hand. Guys like Rizzuto, Sollecito and Cavaliere are low profile guys. You don't really hear from them. You know who they are, but it feels like at no point in time they want to put the police spotlight on them. Quite the opposite of you. " You must know that whatever I am going to tell you, I am able to demonstrate it with facts. It's going to be in the disclosure of the evidence you're going to receive from the Crown. Do you understand that? In 2012, you managed to form an alliance with Sollecito and Rizzuto. And with other small groups alongside, under Alliance control. From you and the Italians. " We understand that when you form an alliance, you will displease some people. We know very well that you wanted to bring everyone together under the supervision of your Table. As in the biker war, we agree that there are sacrifices to be made. Because, for sure, you can't please everyone, Greg. You take the place of certain people, impose your ideas on yourself. Impose your laws in the middle. Much like the one who sponsored you to get into bikers, "Mom" Boucher tried to do in the 1990s by imposing his rules with the Rock Machines, independents and others he waged war against. You, on a smaller scale, wanted to do the same thing. You wanted to follow your godfather in the way you do things. " We don't expect a guy like Maurice "Mom" Boucher today to talk to us. Worse, it is certain that he will not be offered a contract to become an informer. OK ? That’s my impression. Although, maybe after years of incarceration, when he finds out that we know his daughter was involved ... When he realizes that she too is going to go inside for a little while ... She who has just given birth. Maybe sometimes it can get someone to understand something. " Usually there is wiretapping in a large police investigation. You know there are some who escape a little more than others, who are less careful with their words. There are also spinning mills. Although you are very awake to this, I must tell you that most of the time, we achieve incredible results by physical surveillance of our suspects. Often, thanks to conventional spinning, that leads us to be able to obtain something else. I will not surprise you, we know that Me Cavaliere warns you about a lot of cases. But at some point, you can't predict everything. Surprises happen. You are going to make mistakes. This may lead us to install cameras and microphones in certain places. You know, there is no such thing as a foolproof protection system. No matter how much you want to protect yourself from everything ... In my career, I saw guys who had rottweilers or cameras in their house to prevent the police from going to put microphones, then we came back like that to put them on . You are never going to outrun us enough that we won't be able to stop you. We're going to be able to stop you all the time. For a lot of reasons. Sometimes because you are surrounded by the weak. Other times, because you make mistakes. At some point you all make mistakes. Because you think you are the kings. When you think of yourself as the king, you'll let your guard down. And for sure at some point there is going to be a lucky punch that will hit your nose. Then you will fall. That's life. When you are too sure of yourself, when you think you are in control of the city of Montreal, you think yourself above the fray. And you think nothing can get to you.

But like I told you, you have become THE priority for the police. You were the man who had to be removed from the island of Montreal to get some security back, to make things quieter in your area. So there is nothing that was left to chance in the investigation. Because you crossed the line. Not only did you distribute kilos of cocaine in the market, but you also used extreme violence. You led to the creation of Project Magot which targeted you and your gang. It’s rare that you are able to leave the streets and go to the top. And the boss is you. This is Stefano Sollecito. It's Leonardo Rizzuto. We reached the top in this investigation. I'll never thank you enough for that. ” There is one thing that fascinated me about what I read and learned in the investigation that started with you, Greg. You know that I am from Quebec. And I had the chance to work on the investigation into Gerald Gallant's case. Do you know Gerald Gallant? In the biker war, he was the killer of the Rock Machines and the West End Gang. He's the one who killed Bruno Van Lerberghe, a full patch HA, and Bob Savard, your godfather's right hand ... of "Mom" Boucher. At the time, that investigation led me to meet guys like the Rock Machine Fred Faucher and Marcel Demers. And Raymond Desfossés, a West End Gang boss who gave Gallant contracts. It's all from the world that you know. It also led me to meet a lot of guys, like Gilles Lambert and André "Frisé" Sauvageau, who were also in the Rock Machine at that time, but who are now in the HA. In Operation SharQc, the police were investigating the Hells killing the Rocks. We did the opposite with Gallant. We listened to Sauvageau, Lambert - and Cazzetta, who is made your leader or, at the very least, a very important person in the Hells Angels. I was listening to these guys talk and they all wanted to rip your head off. They said you were rats. Reliable steps. Crosseurs. And then, when I read that you ended up with "Frisé" Sauvageau, who was an enemy at the time ... He who said: "Never that I am going to enter the Spits!" Because he called you Spits, instead of HAs. And then you got to know these guys who declared war on you.

You trust them. I don't understand, Greg. I don't understand how you can come to trust these people. I don't understand how you can even tack your cockpit covers. How can you agree to bring the wolves into the fold and then trust them? Me, it seems to me that I would trust my guys, the ones I grew up with in the organization, with whom I fought at the time. You who were a bit the dolphin of

Mom »Butcher ...
So, for the first time, Sergeant Girard opens the laptop he had placed on the table, right next to him and Woolley. He glances back at the suspect and pauses, as if to arouse the suspect's curiosity, before moving on.
- I'm going to tell you about the plot you made with
"Mom" Boucher and her daughter, Alexandra. I know he's been good for you, "Mom". And I also know you're good for him, for example. What is disturbing about this is that although "Mom" Boucher has been detained for several years, he maintains some contact with the outside world. We also know that "Mom" Boucher, her support is crumbling quite a bit. But you will endure it. Investigation shows that you continue to send him $ 4,000 monthly envelopes. Except that, according to what we know, the amount is going down. And there it won't be long before he will be forgotten. Because if there is one who has blundered, if there is one who has made enemies, it is him. He continued to blunder, even in the penitentiary. What happened with Raynald Desjardins was another very big blunder he just made. We know that you are not going to see "Mom" Boucher in prison, but clearly, you have given your consent for an upcoming plot to have Raynald Desjardins killed. I don't know if "Mom" is less alert after all these years in it. I think he's starting to get rusty and he's become less vigilant. But if you want to pass messages and you're in the USD, it's not that easy. It can cause you to make mistakes. That’s what I meant when I said earlier that you think yourself above everything. That you think you are unattainable. And you're running to ruin with that. ” So, "Mom" Boucher, in all his glory, he brought his daughter to the penitentiary. His own daughter. So she can deliver her messages to you. Because he couldn't get them straight to you. And he implicated her in this plot. It's Maurice's daughter "Mom" Boucher anyway, so I sure didn't expect her to fit into the nuns. But still, his father made him cross a line and I find that quite ordinary. And Greg, you're going to see that, like her, you too are in trouble because of him. "

You will understand that in this investigation, it was also necessary to use technical means. We therefore went before a judge to bugger Parlor A of the penitentiary where visits were made between Alexandra Mongeau and her father. We have two cameras, one that points to "Mom" Boucher and one to Alexandra. We see that the two suspect that they could be listened to. They say big things about it, then they talk to each other only by articulating words, without hearing them, or by whispering. But you are able to read their lips and understand. Especially “Mom” Boucher. They also make gestures. When they talk about you in the parlor, "Mom" Boucher and Alexandra touch each other's cheeks. It's a code not to say your name, but we know they're talking about you. In my opinion, this code may have something to do with the color of your skin. You'll see, when they talk about you, we're sure they're talking about you even if they don't say your name. At each of their meetings, we have both camera angles. You'll see...

Sergeant Girard then invites Woolley to move his chair so that he sits directly next to him, in front of the small table where he has placed his laptop. While continuing to chew his gum, the investigator then plays a video recording, then turns the computer screen towards the suspect and turns up the volume.
An obese prisoner, with short hair but all white, appears on the screen. You can hear him laugh out loud, mumble something and then cough. Gregory Woolley can't help but take a close look at this bespectacled 60-year-old who the investigator calls his "godfather." This man, who shook the whole of Quebec not so long ago, is unrecognizable at first glance. The years he spent locked in a "super-max" with the worst criminals in the country have clearly done their work.
- Has it been a long time since you last saw him? Girard asks him. He has changed into a sacrament! Ouffff! Looked. Then listen carefully ...

After having met some fifty actors of Quebec organized crime, the investigators of Centaure, a provincial strategy to fight against violence linked to firearms announced at the end of September by the Minister of Public Security, Geneviève Guilbault, began this campaign. week of visiting members of street gangs at the heart of dozens of violent events in Montreal, especially over the past two years, La Presse has learned.

The police have met - or will in the coming days - several influential members of gangs of red allegiance, including Zone 43 and Profit Kollectaz, involved in numerous incidents of gunfire, attempted murders and murders with guns. fire since 2019 in Montreal and the metropolitan area.

These two enemy gangs are established respectively in the neighboring boroughs of Montreal-North and Rivière-des-Prairies.
According to a compilation by La Presse, approximately 160 incidents of gunfire, attempted murder or murder by firearm have occurred in Montreal since the beginning of the year, including several in the northeast of the metropolis.
According to our information, out of 26 murder victims since the start of the year in the metropolis, at least six (one in five) were linked to gangs, including Zone 43 and Profit Kollectaz.
Three of these six victims died when gusts were fired at an alleged Profit Kollectaz base on boulevard Perras, in the Rivière-des-Prairies neighborhood, last August.

In recent months, experts have testified in court and declared that this increase in the number of shootings - often of high intensity - in Montreal was explained in particular by the greater ease for young people to obtain a weapon, by conflicts. exacerbated on social media and by a “gun culture”.
Another factor to consider, however, is that older gang members no longer have influence over younger ones, police officers told La Presse.

Centaur investigators have also met in recent weeks with some of these older, established, respected gang members with ties to organized crime, but not all of them were willing to collaborate with them, La learned. Hurry.
Unwanted visit

Since the end of September, Centaur investigators have also met with around 20 members of the Hells Angels and nearly 30 actors from the Mafia, Lebanese organized crime and indigenous organized crime, we were told. . Some of these meetings have been virtual due to the risks associated with COVID-19.

The police say they want to put pressure on these organizations to reduce the circulation of firearms and the number of shootings, which has been on the rise since 2019.
“There are those who have not wanted to collaborate, who have told us that they are not involved in this or that they have no influence. But most don't like it [the violence in the streets] and told us they would spread the word, ”a police source reported.
“Bikers, mafia and other organized crime actors all know that violence brings more police funding, more pressure and they don't like it when we knock on their doors. These meetings also have a preventive effect. They slow down the activities of organized crime, ”adds another.
The primary goal of the police officers of the National Operation Centaur is to attack the importers and distributors of firearms, and not the young people who shoot in the streets of Montreal.

Rather, they are targeted by investigations by local teams to fight against firearms crimes from the Service de police de la Ville de Montréal (SPVM).

But Centaur officials believe that in addition to gang disputes or conflicts exacerbated by social media, gunfire events that occur in the Montreal area or elsewhere are ordered directly by organized crime.
Not a cry for help

In addition, the statement Thursday by a member of the Liberal Party of Quebec according to which "it is the duty of everyone", including the Mafia, to fight against the shootings, in reaction to an article published in Le Journal of Montreal, has made active and retired police officers jump who requested anonymity because they are not authorized to speak to the media.

Yes, it happens that we go to see criminals because the tension is made very high, but we never ask for their help. On the contrary. We send them a message. They are told that because of this situation, we will be more on their backs, we will develop more sources and we will hurt them even more, ”one of them told us.
On Thursday, investigators from the Integrated Arms Trafficking Team, made up of investigators from the Sûreté du Québec and the SPVM, and part of the Centaur strategy, arrested a man suspected of producing weapons to fire.
During a search in the borough of Saint-Laurent, in the north-west of Montreal, they seized five firearms, one of which was in production, parts of firearms, three machines used for the manufacture of firearms and manufacturing plans.
The ongoing investigation was initiated in September following information obtained from Canada Post, and is being conducted with the assistance of the Canada Border Services Agency.

Major seizure of drugs and weapons When gangs play in the big leagues

The major seizure of cocaine, crystal meth and weapons announced Tuesday by the Service de police de la Ville de Montréal (SPVM) is a perfect example of the growing importance of independent criminal organizations and members street gangs in the importation and distribution of illicit products in the metropolitan area and in Quebec.

This is what the Commander of the Organized Crime Division of the SPVM, Francis Renaud, believes, according to whom these organizations, which now play in the big leagues such as the Mafia, bikers and Irish or Lebanese organized crime, "will be more and more present" on the scene of organized crime in Montreal.
This is exactly the new color of organized crime. That is to say that it is individuals from all cultural communities, some of whom come from street gangs, who have started to collaborate together for a common goal, money.

The medias in Quebec always been late in how the criminal world is in Quebec.
Many street gangs were already in the big leagues and for years. You have haitian and jamaican gangs that were already importing and supplying many other smaller gangs.

One of his ex-associates, who managed to infiltrate the entourage of Donald Trump last year, claims today that he forced her to date rich men in order to extract money from them.

https://www.tvanouvelles.ca/2022/10/09/fusillade-a-lesterel-un-suspect-de-53-ans-arrete-par-la-sq

The Sûreté du Québec (SQ) proceeded, Sunday morning, to the arrest of a former gang leader in connection with the shooting which occurred Friday at Estérel, in the Laurentians.

According to our information, the suspect is Richard Goodridge, 53, a well-known man in police circles.

https://www.lapresse.ca/actualites/...mysterieuse-la-veille-des-evenements.php

Last Friday, Valeriy Tarasenko, a businessman who immigrated from Russia in 2008, was shot and injured during an argument in the parking lot of the Estérel complex, in the Laurentians. The police quickly arrested a former gang leader close to the criminal bikers, Richard Goodridge, in connection with the case. But they released him without charges over the weekend. According to our information, investigators suspect that Tarasenko may have injured himself with his weapon during an argument between the two men.

What was the purpose of the meeting in Estérel? Part of the answer could be found in a video shot the day before in Blainville.
It was Thursday, October 6. Yury Manakhov, a former Soviet ship captain, was celebrating his 76th birthday with his loved ones at his luxurious residence. Mr. Goodridge, wearing a shirt showing his support for the Hells Angels marked with the number 81 (for HA, the eighth and first letter of the alphabet), rang the doorbell. He hadn't been invited to the party. Yury Manakhov had never seen him in his life.
" Good morning, how are you doing ? My name is Richard. I want to talk to you for a moment. Happy birthday,” he begins.
“I would like to tell you about Anna. Anna, your daughter-in-law. Honestly, I'm one of his very good friends, ”continues the former gang leader on the video.

Yury Manakhov had no desire to hear about Anna Tarasenko, his adopted daughter.
Eye on his fortune

Many judgments of Quebec courts tell how, for almost 10 years, Anna Tarasenko and her husband Valeriy Tarasenko had tried to appropriate Mr. Manakhov's fortune, lying in court and repeatedly fabricating false documents. There was a lot of money at stake.
A 2019 Superior Court decision recounts the remarkable rise of Yury Manakhov, who left his native village in the USSR in 1964 at the age of 18, after growing up in a very poor environment.
“He settled in Kamchatka, a peninsula with a harsh climate located in the Russian Far East facing Alaska, and whose main sectors of activity revolve around shipyards and fishing. The plaintiff became a ship's captain, co-founded in 1991 Kamline, a company working in the fishing, transport and refrigeration industries, held 66% of the shares, and made a fortune, ”sums up Judge Guylène Beaugé in her judgment.

Kamline says today catches 155,000 tons of fish a year off the coast of Russia. Mr. Manakhov, who sold his shares in 2006, settled in Quebec, where his adopted daughter Anna Tarasenko was already with her spouse, Valeriy Tarasenko.
Mr. Manakhov has previously testified in court that he provided hundreds of thousands of dollars annually to his adopted daughter, but that their relationship then deteriorated due to his over-demanding for money and his attempt to s to appropriate a residence and two parking spaces from his parents in Moscow, worth $1 million.
Mr. Manakhov said he was cheated out of hundreds of thousands of dollars by his daughter, who was “under the negative influence of her husband, Valeriy Tarasenko”.

“As far as I know, Valeriy has never worked and he is involved in activities that are not clear,” Mr. Manakhov testified.

Have charges dropped

On Thursday, Richard Goodridge came to the septuagenarian, said he understood everything that had happened to him, and suddenly offered to help him. He told Mr. Manakhov that the accusations against him were “bullshit”. He dangled her that as a friend of her adopted daughter, he could help her get the charges dropped. He tried to lure her aside to chat privately.
Mr. Goodridge is neither a lawyer nor a Crown prosecutor. He has been known for a long time in the organized crime scene in Montreal. During the 1990s, he would have been part of the Scorpions, a clique that gravitated in the entourage of the Rockers, a school club of the Hells Angels which has now disappeared. In 1999, he was seen as a bodyguard in a procession in which was the warrior leader of the Hells, Maurice Boucher.

In the mid-2000s, he founded, with the late kingpin Ducarme Joseph, the street gang 67 in Montreal. Over the years, he was pulled over in a car with a gun, was convicted of two charges of possession of a weapon and credit card theft. He was acquitted or benefited from a stay of the judicial process in several other cases.

Richard Goodridge:

Richard Goodridge made headlines last year when La Presse revealed that he was the leader of a new group of bikers, the Moors, which wanted to be more inclusive. It is not known if this group still exists.
During the 1990s, Goodridge would have been part of the Scorpions, a clique that gravitated around the Rockers, a school club of the Hells Angels that has now disappeared.

In 1999, Goodridge was observed as a bodyguard in a motorcade in which was the warrior leader of the Hells Angels, Maurice Boucher, who died a few weeks ago.
In the mid-2000s, Goodridge founded, with the late kingpin Ducarme Joseph, the street gang 67 in Montreal. The two men then fell out, becoming sworn enemies. After Joseph's departure in 2005, the 67 became the Loyalties, led by Goodridge.

Even if Goodridge is not haitian, he’s around alot of haitians

A prolific independent network stemming from street gangs dismantled

Six months after conducting searches aimed at dismantling a prolific network of independent drug traffickers from street gangs, investigators from the Service de police de la Ville de Montréal (SPVM) have been making the arrests since early Wednesday morning, La Presse has learned. .

According to our information, a dozen individuals should be arrested during this search.

These arrests conclude a major investigation by the SPVM's Organized Crime Division (DCO), dubbed Auxo, during which investigators seized at least 54 kilograms of cocaine, 46 kilograms of crystal meth, nearly 170,000 methamphetamine tablets and 36 kilograms of cannabis, for a total valuation of approximately 4 million.
During the investigation, the sleuths also got their hands on an astronomical sum of money of 1.3 million and eight firearms, including an AR-15 type assault rifle.
In the big leagues

During searches in June, the commander of the SPVM's DCO, Francis Renaud, explained to La Presse that the members of the network came from street gangs and had created an independent organization that had nothing to envy to major criminal groups. , such as the Hells Angels and the mafia.
This network could even supply them and street gangs on the north and south shores of Montreal.
The network is said to have moved at least 25 kilograms of cocaine a week and transported large sums of money to Toronto, where it relied on a "door", that is, a person who brought the cocaine into Canada and which allowed them to obtain supplies in large quantities, in the same way as the major criminal organizations.
“This is exactly the new color of organized crime. That is to say that it is individuals from all cultural communities, some of whom come from street gangs, who have started to collaborate together for a common goal, money. These people must have had the approval of certain important players and since they were useful to them, they were able to go about their business, ”explained Commander Renaud.
The suspects are scheduled to appear Wednesday afternoon at the Montreal courthouse.
More details to come.

War between Laval’s gangs

2die4 against 24 gang and FHB

https://www.lapresse.ca/actualites/...ntre-gangs-de-laval-en-toile-de-fond.php

A “bloody” conflict between Laval gangs in the background

Cédrick Dorval, aka Mad Taz, was targeted by six firearm projectiles in a shooting that occurred in broad daylight in the parking lot of a crowded shopping center on September 12, 2021. A restaurant employee had also escaped little to bullets.
Emmanuel Love Lubérisse, Rodolph Surin and his brother Jean Rhodny Surin are suspected of being the accomplices of the alleged shooter Marion Jude Lovinsky, whose trial is scheduled for later this year.
The three accused are affiliated with the 24 Gang, a street gang of red allegiance from Saint-François, in Laval, according to Karine Tétreault's analysis reports. The 24 are, according to his testimony, involved in a violent conflict with another Laval gang of blue allegiance.

This blue gang currently has no known name and, for reference purposes, it is nicknamed 2die4,” explained the street gang expert before Judge Jean-Jacques Gagné.

According to the theory of the prosecution, the three men are involved in this violent conflict, the main lines and various actors of which were exposed in the courtroom. The trio was present during the attempted murder at the Galeries Normandie.
Old conflict, new victims

"The accused and the victim Cédrick Dorval are known to the Laval Police Department to be linked to two violent gangs whose conflict is at the origin of numerous firearm discharge events in the streets of Laval and Montreal in over the past decade," says an analysis report presented in court and obtained by La Presse.
The conflict in question dates from 2003 between two Laval gangs, according to Karine Tétreault. The murder of Rodney Jean-Paul which occurred on September 1, 2003 is said to be at the origin of the conflict. Jean-Paul was shot in the head by subjects of the Saint-François gang. They have been charged for this homicide.

This bloody quarrel was aggravated by the murder of Widny St-Vil, a young man linked to the 24 Gang. The victim was close to Josué Frenel Bois, alias Juiceman, one of the headliners of the Saint-François gang, said Ms. Tétreault. It was also during the filming of a music video in September 2020 that the young man nicknamed Tree had been shot. Emmanuel Love Lubérisse was then present.

Alliances, rivalries… and music videos

The collection of information from the police is done, among other things, by increased surveillance of subjects of interest, but also by observing their posts on social networks and the rap music videos of certain members, explained the expert on street gangs. to Judge Gagné.
According to her, the 24 Gang is allied with the Flame Head Boys (FHB), another Laval street gang that is allegedly involved in several recent shootings.
This alliance is illustrated in the Zone 01 & Zone 02 music video presented in court on Monday. We can see the accused Lubérisse and Jean Rhodny Surin alongside the rappers. Zone 1 designates the Saint-François sector, while Zone 2 represents the FHB sector.

The 24 GANG also displays its association with PROFIT KOLLECTAZ, a gang from the Rivière-des-Prairies sector in Montreal, whose bloody conflict with the ZONE 43 of Montreal-North has largely hit the headlines recently”, specifies Ms. Tétreault in her written report. presented in court.
The reds are not the only ones to have found allies. “Topics [of the 2die4 gang] appear on social media with a gang from the Villeray neighborhood in Montreal, nicknamed VILLERAY 99,” she said.
In a screenshot of a music video by Pierre-André "Bouldat" Baptiste, considered by the police to be a member of the 24 Gang, the rapper displays his rivalry with the 99 de Villeray, according to one of the analysis reports cited in courtroom.

CONFLICT-RELATED EVENTS

Several episodes of unloading firearms mentioned Monday in the courtroom could have a link with the conflict between Laval gangs, according to the authorities.

The Chicago model

Organized gangs once dominated by a leader have become cliques formed around the bereavement of one person. A sub-clique of Montreal North has taken the name of G Baby Gang, in honor of Jesse Dave Chatelier, killed last February

Some assassinations hit harder than others and fuel disputes based on an unshakable sense of belonging and the desire to be the strongest in the neighborhood. That of Jesse Dave Chatelier. That of Donald Sainturne, an icon of Profit Kollectaz (PK), killed in Montreal North in 2015. More recently, that of rapper Jerry Willer Jean-Baptiste, alias Mackazoe, in Rivière-des-Prairies last August.

Several close friends of Duckerns Pierre Clermont, alias Jeune Loup, an influential rapper linked to Villeray street gangs killed last month, told La Presse that they were preparing their revenge.
The double murder of Kevin Alves Loures and Guylianno Davance on Saint-Laurent Boulevard in 2015 prompted the gangs of Saint-Michel and Ahuntsic to seek revenge against the PK, whom they believe to be responsible. Davance and Loures were not linked to criminal groups, but among their entourage were gang members.

Armed, impulsive and endowed with a feeling of impunity in relation to the police, the micro-cliques united by mourning set a complex gear in motion.
Color no longer matters. The Profit Kollectaz, who began wearing the green headscarf, would be at war on three fronts. The 43, the 47 of Saint-Michel and CCL (Christophe-Colomb Louvain), the Ahuntsic clique, would now oppose the Profit Kollectaz. The consequences ring out in the form of gunshots. Their sector has become hotter, since several groups are targeting them.
The conflict between the PK and the 43 dates back several years. Two prominent members of the opposing cliques were once friends. A drug transaction would have gone wrong between the two criminals. The conflict escalated until a star member of the 43 was mistakenly shot by a PK member.
Rap and ripostes

The examples of internet provocations between gang members are glaring. As the crime drives up YouTube views, Profit Kollectaz and Zone 43 are not subtle in their exuberant retaliations. They take the form of rap videos that capture the attention of some young people in the neighborhood. Attracted by the staging, the polished aesthetic full of symbols, they religiously follow new rap and try to decipher the conflicts.


In the clip launched in February by a rapper from Saint-Michel, the visual is evocative: crystals at the end of a chain form the number 47. Then, a red cap marked with the number 43. The PKs provoked so many people that blue scarves now rub shoulders with red ones in music videos and on the street.

The 43 and the 47 now appear in music videos together, a sign of a possible alliance.
In his music videos, one of the main rappers of the PK, Andrew Luberisse, does not hesitate to show his car riddled with bullets. He frequently brags on social media about surviving attempted murders.
In a clip of two men linked to the 43s from last July, the logo of the Pop Team is clearly seen, described on the street as the "special squad" of the 43s, according to our criminal sources. A rapper sports the words "G Baby" on his cap, in reference to Jesse Dave Chatelier. "Nobody took it, we have to do a second round," sings the young man. Meaning: no one was shot in the shootout, so you have to do a second round to hit someone.

The SRCQ also reports numerous clashes within the Blues, the other faction of Montreal gangs.

These conflicts are manifested especially in the west of the island of Montreal, according to the police intelligence agency.

Two cliques in particular draw attention to it:

The Longmore-Edwards Group;
The Drummond Group.
These clans, identified by the surnames of their presumed leaders and involved in drug trafficking, are waging an endless turf war in the LaSalle and Lachine sectors.

Punctuated by “several violent incidents”, including drive-by shootings [shootings at the wheel], this “conflict has been going on since at least 2012”, specifies the SRCQ.

Osvaldo Pineda Melgar, 26, described as "a relation of the Drummond group", was notably killed by a bullet in the head in his accommodation in LaSalle in the presence of his spouse and their young child, on September 16, 2019.

The police managed to charge three suspects for this murder, in addition to multiplying the arrests in the two gangs.

Despite this, "the conflict [...] is not about to end and other incidents could take place", provides the SRCQ.

Bikers, gangs and lebanese organized crime Meeting at the top in a park in a peaceful neighborhood of Laval

The SPVM surveillance surprised gang members Frantz Louis and Atna Onha, the Hells Angels Gilles Lambert and François Vachon as well as a man linked to Lebanese organized crime, Joseph Chamai, in the middle of a meeting in a park in Laval, in the afternoon of May 6, 2020.

Six months before being shot and killed, Frantz Louis took part in a summit meeting between major players in Montreal organized crime, in broad daylight, in a park in a quiet residential area of Laval.

This is what an organized crime specialist from the Service de police de la Ville de Montréal (SPVM) told Wednesday at the jury trial of Emanuell Roberts Hunte and Andrew Thomas Labrèche, which opened a while ago. two weeks, for the first degree murder of Louis, 49, committed on November 19, 2020 in the Villeray district of Montreal.
Frantz Louis was described by Detective Sergeant Francis Derome as an individual "known to the police for several years and part of the daily news of organized crime" in the greater Montreal area.
The investigator said in particular that on May 6, 2020 – when the COVID-19 pandemic was at its peak – in the middle of the day, Louis showed up in the Parc des Coccinelles, boulevard Chomedey, at the corner of boulevard Perron, in Laval, with Atna Onha, nicknamed 2-Pac.
In the small park enclosed in a quiet residential area, where there are structures for children, water games and a basketball court, the two men met three other individuals: Gilles Lambert and François Vachon, members of the Hells Angels, and Joseph Chamai, who the witness described as being linked to Lebanese organized crime.
“This meeting worried the police officers of the spinning mill, because in addition to the five men present, there were at least seven or eight individuals who were walking around the park and who stood guard. By their behavior, they seemed armed. When there are meetings of members of the Hells Angels, there are almost always guards. It worried us, in broad daylight, in a residential area, ”described Francis Derome.
“These are people from the highest level of organized crime. Onha is one of the most important players in organized crime today. He met Frantz Louis a few times during the Abuse investigation “, in which Louis was targeted, added the detective sergeant.
A name heard regularly

At the time he was killed in November 2020, Louis was indeed accused, along with three accomplices, in an extortion case.
"He was part of an organization that lent to people in difficulty and tried, by threat, to maintain payments as long as possible at criminal interest rates," the witness summarized.

A man killed by stabbing in Laval

a 51-year-old man with a stab wound. Taken to hospital, he succumbed to his injuries.
The victim was known to the police community, but the investigators do not confirm that there is a link with the dispute. According to our information, it is Vick Sévère Paul.
The reasons for the conflict and the number of people involved are not known at this time. No arrests have been made.
The file has been seized by the crimes against the person investigators, who will try to shed light on the circumstances of the murder. A crime scene has been erected and will be combed through by the forensic identification squad.
His relatives murdered
Vick Sévère Paul was considered at one time to be a street gang member of red allegiance in Montreal. He was the brother of Lamartine Sévère Paul, a close friend of Chénier Dupuy, who had tried to unify the street gangs of the metropolis in 2012.
Lamartine Sévère Paul and Chenier Dupuy were murdered a few hours apart in August of that same year.
Les Paul were also the cousins of the kingpin Ducarme Joseph who was shot in August 2014.
According to the police, Ducarme Joseph and businessman Antonio Magi were implicated in the December 2009 murder of Nick Rizzuto, eldest son of Vito Rizzuto.
Joseph and Les Paul are said to have been part of a group that provided protection for Magi and carried out contracts for the businessman in the late 2000s.
Like many criminalized individuals, Vick Sévère Paul owned a condo at 1000 de la Commune in Old Montreal, a real estate project developed by Magi.
The latter was in turn murdered in January 2019, presumably the victim of revenge by the Sicilian mafia clan, just like Joseph.
Vick Sévère Paul had some criminal history in Quebec.
He had notably been sentenced to a sentence of two years less a day for drug trafficking, following his arrest in Operation Loquace by which the Sûreté du Québec dismantled, in November 2012, a consortium of individuals who were trying to violently seize the monopoly of cocaine distribution in Canada.
He had also been fined for a case of credit card theft in 1996 and was arrested for an attempted murder that occurred in Ontario's Niagara Falls region in 2009.

Fraud shakes up street gangs

The young bandits were thirsty for money, power and notoriety. Fraud has enriched them. With this magot, they armed themselves. Fraud has completely changed the face of street gangs in Montreal and would be the main cause of gun traffic among young criminals, several sources in the interlope community told La Presse. Incursion into the heads of these young fraudsters now involved in conflicts.

Carlos has never been incarcerated in connection with this type of crime. However, he is known to the police services.

Before, you needed [nupfixing] stups to be rich. Now you make $50,000 without really going to the field. It's less stressful.

Carlos, fraudster

When it comes to large fraudulent transactions, inexperienced young bandits can get caught. But several small sums? "It happens, but not often. There are far too many to stop everyone. It's too volatile, "explains this more experienced bandit. He is not a "crazy head" and does not "mix in the dramas of the street".

He evokes revealing examples. A well-watered evening where two young fraudsters take out their Glock pistol for a banal insult. Beginners barely able to fight who throw unnecessary provocations at an older gang member by laughing at his latest music video. Teenagers who brandish bundles of bills on Snapchat, inviting much older enemies to come and challenge them.

The new generation is less afraid. There is no structure when you make your money alone. So why would you have respect for older people?

Carlos

Money and problems.

Fraud is a less complex avenue than narcotics, long considered by criminals as the only way to make a fortune illegally. However, do not enter anyone who wants to enter the trade in illicit substances. "You depend on older and more experienced criminals. You can't wake up one day and go sell crack at Émilie-Gamelin. You can't shoot who you want in broad daylight, because you will be told to calm down so as not to harm the structure, "continues Carlos.

"It is the status of fraudsters that has changed," says an ex-gangster questioned on this subject by La Presse.

Young Anthony embarks on this monologue when asked how much money he makes thanks to fraud. His fierce tone says a lot about his relationship to authority. The message is clear: he does not obey anyone. Not even to older and more experienced criminals.

"Greg and JP? Why would I listen to them? I prefer to make money on my own, "he says without an ounce of hesitation in his voice.

He refers to Gregory Woolley and Jean-Philippe Célestin, considered by the police as two influential men in the street, close to Italian organized crime and bikers. These figures known from the criminal world simply do not interest him, he says, shrugging his shoulders. Why try to climb the ladder when he can "make money on his own"?

His illegal "win-win-win-win" allowed him to impress Toronto gangsters and expand his network of connections. He nonchalantly describes his regular visits to the Queen City.

The guys in Toronto don't know how to cheat. They ask the guys from Montreal how to do it.

Anthony

Fraud will "make him a millionaire", he says the most seriously in the world. It started with small sums. "A $500, a $1,000, a $3,000," he says. These modest sums allowed the purchase of game consoles, smartphones, gift cards, prepaid Visa cards, furniture. He sold everything at a fraction of the price. "You become like a kind of salesman in the end. When the price of the new iPhone goes up, your profits go up, "he explains.

When the gang is formed in front of a computer, we are far from the structure of the classic street gang united in a neighborhood or building. It still exists, but connections are easier with bandits from Toronto, Vancouver or even Miami. "The Toronto-Montreal corridor has never been as important as it is now. We really understood that we have to talk to each other, "says Commander Renaud.

Haiti has always been ignored by the world and UN ! Decades of corrupt leadership and weakened democratic institutions — supported by the United States — have brought a state of terror and lawlessness to Haiti without an achievable political solution or even an end to the violence in sight.

the above article about street gang fraud is very revealing. for one the extent and money involved is equal to or greater than slinging dope. there is no comparing the risk level that is for sure. the revealing part is the now...and probably for a few years, total lack of leadership or control by senior gang members. whether BLUES OR REDS it doesnt seem to matter. in this disarray it is easy to understand the seemingly random shootings over nothing more than bad rap videos. there doesnt appear to be any clear overall leader or set alliances since the break up of MAFIA/HA/WOOLLEY ALLIANCE in 2015. woolley himself is no longer mentioned as being among leaders of OC anymore and the shootings at or near his residence would show as much. furthermore all this makes it even more difficult to figure out which street gang sets are being used in the most recent arsons and shootings. whewwwwww. those groups using street gangs for work most likely appreciate this confusion.

SQ searches four residences as it investigates gang leader Arsène Mompoint's death
https://montrealgazette.com/news/cr...gates-gang-leader-arsene-mompoints-death

Murder of Arsène Mompoint The SQ targets individuals linked to a dangerous street gang

Very early, at 4 a.m., investigators from the Division of Investigations into Murders and Disappears Related to Organized Crime (DEMDCO) of the Sûreté du Québec (SQ) broke into four individual residences connected to the Rolling 90's, a violent gang present in Pierrefonds and Pointe-Claire.

No one was arrested. These are searches under investigation. .

However, the searches targeted individuals who would have played an important role in the crime.

A few weeks ago, investigators from the Service de police de la Ville de Montréal (SPVM) arrested six individuals related to the Rolling 90's and seized as many firearms.

They apprehended another man for drug trafficking and possession of ammunition on Wednesday morning.

Rolling 90's members are suspected of being involved in arms trafficking and violent crimes.

An individual close to the Rolling 90's, Marckens Vilme, was convicted by a jury in Brampton, Ontario and sentenced to life imprisonment, with no possibility of parole before the age of 25, for the murder of an Ontario Hells Angel committed in March 2019.

Look like the alliance between the Profit Boyz, 24s and FHB is catching some bodies lately.
Crazy how the politics of montreal as really change since the war between the Profit Boyz and 43s.
Its not about crips or bloods

Those creoles are a crazy bunch lol.

Yeah haitians always been a factor in the montreal scene since the 90s.

New Orleans and Florida also.

Didn’t know about New Orleans.

But haitian gangs from montreal have link with gangs from new york or florida because many have family members in those places.
Also, some gangs members have lived in those omace but got deported back to canada after doing some crimes in there teen years.

In montrel, the first haitian gang started in the end-70s. But they were teens. Ans during all the 80s they were doing some crime here and there. But its really in the early 90s that they really became a big factor, wi the generation of gangs like Neg-BO (called Bo-Gars in the news) and CDP.

Before that it was mostly the jamaican gangs and black-anglo gangs in the western part of montreal that were more active in the city. From the 60s to the end of the 2000s.
Many jamaican gangs worked or sometime were at war with the irish mob (west end gang).
You also had many black-anglo that were working for the italian mafia.
Guys like Leslie Coleman who was an enforcer for the Cotroni Family. When Coleman died in the 2000s, Joe Di Maulo paid for the funerals and gave a good some of money to the family.

Also, you had Rufus Rockhead who had the first and for a time the only black club in Montreal. He was a jamaican-born hustler who succeed to have an alcohol permit in montreal, during a time that black didn’t have nothing. We are talking about the 30s, 40s, 50s etc.
He was a bootlegger during the prohibition in the US. And some rumors say he was working with Al Capone. And even Capone came to his club in Montreal (but who knows…)

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rockhead%27s_Paradise

Wikipedia about rufus rockhead

https://pauldbwatkins.com/2013/07/23/rockheads-paradise/

During this time you had the Saint-Antoine boys, they were Black-Anglos (Scotians and african-american) that were enforcers for the mob. Many of them were also professional boxers.

Nowhere else in the US has a longer, deeper relationship with Haiti than New Orleans. Their histories crisscross: Both suffered colonization and enslavement by the Spanish and French. Louisiana even came to be part of the US because of Haiti: France sold the Louisiana Territory - approximately one-third of the current US land mass - to the US in 1803 to recoup some of the financial losses it incurred while trying to defeat the Haitian revolution. (France also wanted to create a “maritime rival,” as Napoleon called it, to England[i]). Blacks, mulattoes, and whites, free and enslaved, moved back and forth between the two places so much that, by 1809, one in two of New Orleans’ inhabitants was from Haiti.[ii] Today, the populations share gene pools and names via the same French, Spanish, and African ancestors.

They have similar cultures, with connections between the music, the living French language and slightly overlapping Creole ones, Carnival and parading (rara, musical troupes in Haitian streets, and the uniquely New Orleans street traditions of second lines and Mardi Gras Indians), Creole food and Creole architecture, and the religion spelled Vodou in Haiti and Voodoo in New Orleans. Both are rich in laid-back and highly interactive communities, and keeping them strong is what underlies a lot of the traditions, like courtyard- and stoop-sitting, ‘speaking to’ your neighbor, and communal street reveling.

Gangs from Montreal to Quebec and Vancouver: organized crime has its hands full

The migration of gangs to other cities and provinces is not new. Usually, members leave Montreal to flee the police or Ops (a word to designate members of enemy gangs) or to open new markets, mainly in prostitution.

However, these movements did not necessarily result in settlement, because very often the territories and markets are already under the control of other criminal groups.


However, over the last two years, my sources have confirmed to me that several gang members have been doing business or setting up operations outside of Greater Montreal at the request of certain local gangs or with the help of independent traffickers.


In Vancouver

Last June, one of my contacts informed me of the presence of several members of a gang from Montreal North in Vancouver. They are allegedly involved in several shootings and are trying to control drug trafficking in the Downtown Eastside neighborhood.

I then tell him that this scenario is only possible if invited by another gang. We note, in fact, that certain members of this Montreal gang would have strong links with a Vancouver gang established for several years in the Downtown Eastside. He would control drug trafficking and prostitution.

The problem with this kind of alliance is that it doesn't necessarily please the Ops. Hence the increase in shootings.

In Quebec

Again, I observe the same phenomenon. Gangs from Greater Montreal, particularly from Laval and Rivière-des-Prairies, migrate to Quebec. They all have links to local traffickers.

The flow of drugs goes from Montreal to Quebec and prostitution is not left out. The rumor on the ground? Guys don't want to work for bikers anymore. This isn't the first time I've heard this kind of comment. They even repeated it to me in the 90s. “You will see Maria, one day will come, we will no longer work for bikers”.

This time, they are in their movement for total independence. However, they don't just empower themselves by selling their own drugs, they steal them from bikers. As they say in the industry: “They burn and kill”. Murders, attempted murders, shootings, intimidation of biker relations or their small traffickers.

As for the main parties involved, they don't dare move too much. They especially don't want to get bogged down in a war which is never good for business. They have a lot more to lose.

This migration of gangs from Greater Montreal to the regions of Quebec (Bas du rivière, Beauce, Gatineau, Sherbrooke, etc.) is far from reassuring. They are no longer in flight, but in the development of markets.

We are far from calm and control, but shh, we must not say it too loudly!

Well its always been like that.
There were always gangs that didn’t work with the mafia or the bikers.
Some gangs stole drugs from those organizations.
And other had there own shipping of drugs.
Montreal-North was always known to have gangs that work for themself.
And rdp was known to rob the mafia.
You also had the jamaican posses in the west who had there own things. And were working with the posses from jamaica and toronto

[I deleted the link to the article about Kevin White because it was off topic— see Blackmobs’s post at http://www.gangsterbb.net/threads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=1070339&Searchpage=1&Main=37811&Words=%22Kevin+White%22&Search=true#Post1070339]

The revelations of hitman Frédérick Silva could help elucidate around fifty murders, including that of Jean-Raymond Claude

The searches carried out Tuesday on a body of water in the Laurentians, in search of the remains of a Montreal gangster, target the first of at least fifty murder contracts that the police hope to elucidate thanks to the collaboration of a hitman .

This relaunch of the investigation into the mysterious disappearance in 2015 of Jean-Raymond Claude, a founding member of the 67 street gang who has already been involved with the Hells Angels and the mafia, would be made possible because of the confidences given by Frédérick Silva since that he agreed to sit down with the police last year .


The revelations of this “modern-day Gérald Gallant”, who would have worked on behalf of the Rizzuto clan, the Hells and other factions of organized crime, could allow the Sûreté du Québec (SQ) and the Montreal police ( SPVM) to resolve more than 50 assassinations and murder plots still unpunished, according to sources from our Bureau of Investigation and the QMI Agency.

The alleged murder of Jean-Raymond Claude, which dates back eight and a half years, would be the first in this long list to give rise to a police operation like that of Tuesday.

The victim, a homeless man, was once a dangerous gang leader

The 49-year-old man stabbed to death on the night of Monday to Tuesday in Westmount is Kevin White, a former Jamaican gang leader who has long ruled the roost in downtown Montreal.

White was reportedly homeless at the time he was discovered, at the corner of Atwater Avenue and Sainte-Catherine Street West, shortly before midnight.

The circumstances of the murder are unknown at this time. No one has yet been arrested. Major Crimes investigators from the Montreal City Police Service (SPVM) will also try to establish the motive for the crime.
Since at least the late 1980s until the early 2000s, White and his gang controlled crack trafficking around the Jeanne-Mance homes, located in the area of ??De Maisonneuve and Saint-Laurent boulevards.

During the 1990s and 2000s, shootings broke out in this area because White and his group allegedly did not want to obtain drug supplies from the Hells Angels and one of their subordinate gangs, the Syndicate.

At first, White didn't want to associate with the bikers and there were several shooting events. It was all over the Jeanne-Mance plan. White and his group were living targets. We attended several meetings on surveillance sites and there was finally an agreement,” says a former SPVM Anti-Gang police officer.
The headquarters of White's group was in a now-defunct hotel on Sherbrooke Street. They also had a cache in the southwest.
“Kevin White was wiretapped and when contacts in the United States called him, he answered in English: KT International , as if his traffic was international,” continues the ex-police officer.

White used family members to do his accounting.

In 2002, SPVM police officers dismantled his network, arrested 22 people and seized more than 1,000 rocks of crack.
In 2016, White sued the state for $1.5 million after he was acquitted of attempted murder of a woman who was shot in the face.
In 2019, White was sentenced to six years in prison for stabbing a man downtown. Having become itinerant, he would have died in the same circumstances.

https://www.lapresse.ca/actualites/...a-deja-ete-un-dangereux-chef-de-gang.php

Look like the KT international (jamaican gang) and the Outlaws (jamaican gang) were dealing drugs in the same area during the 2000s.

Kevin White’s mother was killed in 2014 by a shooter.

https://montrealgazette.com/news/lo...c12788a-f4b5-41bc-ac38-a1c4a3bf0b12/amp/

KT :

Since at least the late 1980s until the early 2000s, White and his gang controlled crack trafficking around the Jeanne-Mance homes, located in the area of ??De Maisonneuve and Saint-Laurent boulevards.

Outlaws:

The network of traffickers spent 1 to 2 kg of cocaine and crack per month in the southwest of the City. The Montreal police investigation, which began in November 2006, lasted two years. The organized crime division did not skim on the means: it used undercover agents, eavesdropping and spinning to build evidence. During the investigation, the police even installed five cameras to film the accused without their knowledge, in particular at the Outlaws' main drug cache on Jeanne-Mance Street.

A criminal with a long criminal record is demanding $1.5 million from the police and the Crown for accusing him of a sordid attempted murder for which he was ultimately acquitted.

“[Kevin White] went through hell, both on a personal and professional level, as well as on a moral level,” we can read in the lawsuit filed in recent days at the Montreal courthouse.

However, the 42-year-old criminal was not his first stay in detention.


He also began this procedure from prison in Rivière-des-Prairies, where he is awaiting a preliminary investigation for another case of attempted murder, unrelated to the civil prosecution.

Reasonable doubt

The event for which White is claiming this colossal sum dates back to 2011. That evening, the victim, who was the accused's partner, was at home watching a movie when a masked man broke into her home. .

The man then walked towards her and without warning, he pulled out a gun and shot her in the face. Luckily, the woman survived.

“The bloodied, shocked victim is in deep distress and takes refuge in the toilet where she communicates with the 911 emergency service,” we read in the judgment acquitting White.

At trial, White presented an alibi defense claiming that at the time of the crime he was at his mother's house. Neither the accused nor his mother had testified, but taking into account all the evidence, the judge concluded that there was reasonable doubt.

Detention

Between his arrest and his acquittal, however, White spent 21 months in pretrial detention.

And he now blames the Montreal police and the Director of Criminal and Penal Prosecutions (DPCP) for “a multitude of harms and inconveniences.”

“[This includes] suffering, loss of enjoyment of life and deprivation of liberty,” we can read in the court document filed by Me Melissa Podilchuk.

White, who had already been in prison for drug cases and who was guilty of numerous breaches of conditions, therefore wants to force taxpayers to loosen the purse strings in his favor.

His request will soon be examined by a judge of the Superior Court.

Neither the Montreal police nor the DPCP were able to comment on the file, given that it is in the hands of the court.

Prison for stabbing a man in the city center

A drug trafficker who once headed a crack ring was recently sentenced to six years in prison for stabbing a man in downtown Montreal.

“I hope you realize that if the knife had been 5 cm longer, the victim would have died... The situation would have been worse for her, but also for you,” Judge Dennis Galiatsatos told Kevin White this week , who found his sentence “a little harsh”.

White, 45, is known to police for his numerous drug-related arrests. In 2002, he led a network of crack dealers that operated in downtown Montreal.

He then used his mother to manage the group's finances.

This time, the alleged events occurred in December 2015, while he spent the evening in an erotic cinema on Sainte-Catherine Street.

During the evening, White had an argument with an acquaintance, Kenneth Edosio Tokunboh. The reasons for the altercation are unknown, but it eventually moved into the street. Except instead of fighting with his fists, White started reaching for a weapon.

“He entered a pizzeria and went directly behind the counter, where he grabbed a kitchen knife with a six-inch blade,” reads the summary of facts of the case.

Assault

Armed, White began chasing his victim to stab him, a few blocks away. The victim should not have any after-effects.

Since being detained, White was to stand trial for attempted murder. However, he decided to plead guilty to aggravated assault.

“This being my first violent crime, it taught me that I need to be more patient,” White said.

At the lawyers' suggestion, White received six years of incarceration. But with preventive detention, he has nine months left to serve. He will then have to submit to three years' probation.

“I'm now a grandfather, I hope I'll be able to change my life,” White concluded.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gregory_Woolley

That Gregory Wolley wikipedia is really not good

« Woolley was the leader of a street gang known as Master B. »

-Woolley was never the leader of the Master B, the leader was Beauvoir Jean.

« Boucher made Woolly the president of the Rockers puppet gang »

- I don’t think Woolley was the president of the Rockers. He was an important member but not the president.

« Another Haitian immigrant who once belonged to Master B., Beauvoir Jean, founded a new gang, the Bo-Gars (which is Haitian French slang for "handsome boys"). »

- The creation of the BO is more complicated.
- the name don’t mean handsome boys, its an error from the news of Quebec. The name of the gang is in creole N** Bo, which mean Bo’s N***** (n-word). The news made a bad translation from creole to french.

« the Bo-Gars worked for the Rizzuto family and "if either of the groups was more under the thumb of a largely racist white organization, it was the Bo-Gars" »

- the Bo-gars didn’t work for the rizzuto’s. They work with who gave them the most opportunities. Some time they work with the rizzuto’s, sometime with the rock machine, or sometime with neither of them.
**** they went to war with the Rizzuto’s and the Hells Angels.


« Woolley had the Crack Down Posse serve as a puppet gang for the Montreal Crips.[9] The relationship between the Montreal Crips and the Crack Down Posse was analogous to the relationship between the Hells Angels and the Rockers. »

- that’s bull, since the CDP were the first haitian crip gang in the city. Also the first crip gang on the eastern part of the city. They were THE crip gang in the 90s.

Very informative Blackmobs. Thanks for the insight.

You’re welcome

any truth to these gangs being allied.

blood mafia family-quebec city
w/
profit boys gang-r.d.p,mtl northeast

and

flame head boys-laval,pont-viau,laval des rapides district
w/
24 gang-laval, st-francois district

info for the above alliance came from a journal article a couple weeks ago that was about the blood mafia family refusing to pay a %10 tax to HA for operating on drug territory in quebec city area. i will try to find and post before was behind a login/paywall. it mentioned that they are in an alliance with the profit boys, making me think that they would also not be paying a tax. further searches amongst la presse and journal articles from just past 2 years revealed info about possible alliance of 2 gangs from laval. the connection appeared to be between the 24 gang and profit boys. is it possible that some of the mayhem can also be explained by this conflict over not paying said street tax. and that is just what the HA is taxing. are any of these gangs also being squuezed by mafia clans?

none of the inner workings of all the mtl gangs have ever been clear cut for me but this info caught my eye.

this was the other article about gang activity in laval.

The BMF from montreal-north (haitian gang) are allied with the Profit Boys. Don’t know if the BMF from Quebec (french-canadians) are the same group.

Flamehead boys and the 24 gang are really allies. And they are also allies to the Profit Boys.
The FHB and 24 are at war with 2die4 (laval gang) and the gangs from 99 (villeray, montreal).

You can find many rap videos of those groups on youtube. They are doing like the US, rapping about smoking packs.

thanks again blackmobs solid intell as always. i may take a hard pass on the rap vids though.
any intell on street gangs helps.

I tried to make a list of the Street gangs and tried to find out who they are allied with and just gave up. I was surprised as to how many gangs there are in Montreal, Laval and other regions.

Blackmobs are there that many ?

" Neg Four " ( Montréal - Nord , Rivière - des - Prairies ). - gangs from rdp

Most of this list os gangs from the 90s and 2000s. So most of those gangs dont exist anymore.
Also, many of those gangs are the name of hoods and not gangs.
Also, some of those gangs were really not a factor in the criminal world of montreal.

a very comprehensive list to be sure ciment. the main problem for me has always been deciphering which gangs in mtl continue to function as active criminal gangs, which ones are youtube gangsters/aspiring rappers and what gangs even still exist. i see some asian gangs as well which historically dont figure heavy into the crime headlines. good post.

Most of those videos are in french. But its rap of gang members in there 20s or early 30s.
Not guys who are in the same league as guys like Wooley, BM or Ducarme

also i try my best to figure out which gangs are allied with mafia, HA, cartels etc. these gangs would by said alliances hold the balance of power amongst all the other gangs. i think back to THE WIRE, where the gangs that were closest to 'the connect' for good drugs were those with the power. for those gangs in the drug trade this has to be the case, but as the arrests and headlines show some of these sets are involved in a wide variety of crimes and do not necessarily need the benefit of a higher level protector.

Crips gangs like the CDPs arr mostly linked to the HAs since the 90s.
Many members of The Syndicate are associated or were members of the CDPs.

Bloods gangs from mtl-nort and rdp always had a kind of friendly not friendly alliance with the mafia.
Many bloods neighborhoods in the east of montreal, are neighborhoods with a high italian population (in the 90s).

Most gangs that were really a factor in the high criminal world of montreal in the 90s-2000s are Bo-gars, CDP, Bad Boys, 44s, dope squad, 67s, rough riders, syndicate (all haitan gangs), walkey crew, grand massive, outlaws, KT and others moslty jamaican gangs.
Those are the guys that deals directly with the mafia and HAs. Since those guys are mostly in there late 40s, 50s and some late 50s

Mysterious fires destroy warehouses

Quebec and Montreal) Investigators from the Sûreté du Québec are trying to elucidate two suspicious fires that occurred in less than a month in Beauce warehouses. According to police sources, the blaze could result from a conflict raging in the Capitale-Nationale between factions of organized crime.

He would pit the member in good standing of the Hells Angels of Quebec Mathieu Pelletier against an independent trafficker nicknamed David "Pic" Turmel.

Turmel would have refused since the pandemic to source cocaine from the Hells Angels, thus depriving bikers of a significant source of income.

Turmel, who would have links with "red" allegiance street gangs, would now buy drugs from Montreal street gangs.

https://www.lapresse.ca/actualites/...x-incendies-detruisent-des-entrepots.php

Quebec City traffickers no longer want to pay the 10% "tax" to the Hells Angels

This conflict could be the cause of at least three violent events in the capital, including a murder

There is a big war in Quebec City right now, "says without hesitation a police source, who is not allowed to talk to the media.

According to the thesis favored by the police forces, this situation would result from a conflict between David "Pic" Turmel, the head of the Blood Mafia Family (or BMF), and Mathieu Pelletier, a member in good standing of the Hells Angels, whose father, Marc, is one of the Hells who founded the gang chapter in Quebec City in 1988.

"Hells sales tax"

The rule is that all trafficker networks - whether or not they are led by the Hells Angels - systematically pay a "tax" representing 10% of their revenues to be able to operate in the territory controlled by bikers.

This would be the first time that a gang has dared to rub shoulders with the Hells since the end of the motorcycle war, which pitted the "angels of hell" against the Rock Machine for control of the Quebec drug market and which killed more than 165 people between 1994 and 2001.

The current situation is all the more surprising since our Bureau of Investigation revealed, in the spring, that the Hells Angels exercised a "total grip" on the drug market in Quebec City and that settling of accounts related to narcotics were rare there.

The "Quebec city" chapter, which last May marked its 35th anniversary, has become a family business that is passed on from one generation to another, according to police intelligence services.

THE BLOOD MAFIA FAMILY (BMF)

The Blood Mafia Family is known to the police as a "red" street gang very active in drug trafficking on the South Shore of Quebec. Its members have close ties with those of the Montreal gang Profits Boys, which the authorities have identified among the main responsible for the outbreak of armed violence in the northeast of the metropolis since 2019.

https://www.journaldequebec.com/202...s-payer-la--taxe--de-10-aux-hells-angels

In my opinion, there is a very strong possibility that the reds and other street gangs will get their way in not having to pay a tax. In the long run they will succeed. If the bikers want to survive they will have to share territory and/or get their hands dirty again in order to retain control of some of their territories. They will have to delegate more of the dirty work to their support MC.

In Montreal, there was a war between the Bo-Gars and BMF against the Hells Angels in the 2000s

A conflict is currently between the Bloods and the Hells Angels for control of drug sales in downtown Montreal, he added. Valdano was involved in this war, according to the police officer. The Hells praised this territory to the Syndicates gang and gangs affiliated with the Crips, the Bloods' enemy gang. "Now, the Bloods, the reds, are trying to take the territory, which does not particularly please bikers," added the police officer.

https://www.lapresse.ca/actualites/...01-31658-sursis-pour-un-chef-de-gang.php

The Bloods in Downtown against bikers

General and his friends are looking at Saint-Denis Street, an important artery in Montreal, to expand their territory. "We knew that the street belonged to bikers. We went there at 20 to get their attention, to show that we were there.

We were selling our drugs. Until the boss of the neighborhood sees us. So, we confronted him. And usually, there are not many people to oppose him." The group uses a cameo to call its supplier and wait for his arrival. They tied him up and called his boss in front of the hostage. "If the boss didn't want to give up his territory, we spread our message by beating his pusher."

General has no emotion when he tells this part of his life. For him, it's business as usual. "We were typing everyone. We didn't care, that they had patches. We were a gang, too. We typed two or three of their guys. They said ok, but don't touch Saint-Laurent Street. You would abuse. They are warriors, bikers, "he says with respect.

General and his group, in addition to their expansionist aims, must protect what they control. What they did to the bikers, in St-Denis, others imitate them to steal what they own.

General and his gang fight for their business first. They walk on the beds of the Blues, bikers and the mafia. And their affiliation with the Reds also leads them to marry the wars of the other members of the clan. The businesses of some create problems for everyone. "The bikers are not afraid of anything. They have gangs that exist just to kill. They are as bastards as we are. They too will shoot in the pile, no matter who is there. It was our biggest wars. In fact, the war with the bikers lasted a year. It was the one of the oldest Bloods." General speaks with respect of these enemies with whom he crossed the iron. But the tone changes when he addresses the subject of the mafia.

Good info. Blackmobs !

You’re welcome

Wondering if the BMF from Quebec are linked to the BMF of Montreal-North

Some members of the Syndicates:

Gregory Woolley:
-Co-founder of the Syndicates. A gang made of leaders from different crips gang of Montreal.
-Leader of an alliance betwwen bloods and crips gangs from montreal.
-One of the leader of an alliance between the italian mafia, the Hells angels and street gangs.
- was once a member of the Rockers MC, a puppet club of the Hells Angels.
- was once a member of the Master B, a street gang from Montreal North in the 80s.
- controlled many part of the city, hochelagua- maisonneuve, st-michel, downtown
- receive 10k a month while in prison from drugs trafficking in hochelagua-maisonneuve
- controlled a part of the Book and some sports gambling operations.
- killed in 2023

Dany Sprinces Cadet:
-Co-founder of the Syndicates
- receive 6 to 8k a month from drugs trafficking in hochelagua-maisonneuve.
- leader of drug traffickers in hochelagua-maisonneuve, called the Bronzés.

Jean-Phillipe Celestin:
- since the death of Woolley, probably the strongest gang member in Montreal.
- at one time, was the leader of the K-Crew, gang made of turkish and haitian gangsters.
- leader of one of the three biggest organizations that was entering drugs in many penitentiary in Quebec. The others were hells angels
- controlled the drug trafficking in many parts of downtown montreal, plateau mont-royal and centre-sud.
- at one time, the k-crew were one of the biggest heroin traffickers in montreal, competing with the mafia. Celestin was not the leader during this time, but was one of the high ranking members. Turkish gangsters are very big in heroin.
- rumors say is…. If you are from Montreal, you know the rumors

Emmannuel Zephir.
- was once the leader of the biggest and most notorious crip gang in the history of Montreal, the Crack Down Posse (CDP).
- while Woolley and Cadet were imprisoned, him and his brothers took the charge of the operations of the Syndicates.
- controll the drug traffickers in St-Michel.
- had the biggest gang war in the history of montreal, CDP against Bo-Gars.

thats a great description of some important gang members above blackmobs. is the syndicate gang still in operation? i know the mtl haitian gangs change names more than i change socks but the syndicate has always seemed to hold its name. and is the spelling for dany sprinces cadet the accepted version. i have seen several interchangeable combinations for it online sometimes with a 'lou' thrown in there. i ask about the syndicate moniker because it would appear that for a guy like celestin although an allie of woolley he looks to have led his own gang. i track him for the time being as leader of 'the celestin gang.' and is cadet released from jail yet? i will ask the same of jean winsing barthelus as he has also been mentioned in the past as being allied with woolley. no rush, alot of questions for a sunday morning i know.

I don’t think the Syndicates are still « operating » as an entity, but the members of the syndicates ares still operating.
The news of montreal seems to always stick with rhe old names, when talking about street gangs. They will say a member of the bo-gars, members of the 67s, or 44 unit even if those gangs are no more, but some members of those gangs are still actives.

Fof Cadet, its seems that there is many way they are saying is name in the news, Dany Sprinces Cadet,
Dany Cadet Sprinces or Cadet Sprinces. Many times we see this happening with haitians gang members in the news. When Nick Rizzuto jr got killed, the news were saying Joseph Ducarme and not Ducarme Joseph.
Also with Gregory Woolley, at first the news were saying Gregory Wooley with one L.
So I don’t know for its name, maybe its the right way or maybe not.
Also, Lou is probably a nickname, many haitians got Lou for nickname, but most of the time, we call people Lou, when the person name start with an Lu or Lou.

For Celestin, its seem the guy was not part of the syndicates, he is also younger than most of the members of the syndicates. Look like he had his own crew with haitians, but with some turkish, which its really important, since the turks are big heroin traffickers.

Don’t know about Bartheleus, maybe he is in jail, because he was not mention in the police raid next week. Also alot of rumors about him, thosr past weeks in montreal

Jean Winsing Barthelus has been out for a few years now.



What are the rumors of Jean-Philippe Célestin and Jean Winsing Barthelus?

https://ici.radio-canada.ca/nouvell...m-crime-organise-gregory-woolley-meurtre

The SQ and the SPVM are monitoring a man who would agitate the criminal community

The majority of conflicts which have resulted in shootings in public have originated on social networks over the past three years, recall the police.

The year 2024 could begin with an escalation of violence within the criminal environment, police officers fear. At the source of several provocations, a well-known criminal would have attracted the attention of investigators from the Service de police de la Ville de Montréal (SPVM) and the Sûreté du Québec (SQ) because he now claims the status of “godfather street gangs” that Gregory Woolley occupied before being shot and killed.

Identified as Ahna Otna by our sources in the criminal investigations of theSPVMand someS.Q., he quickly attracted attention with his Snapchat account by multiplying inflammatory statements about the murder of Gregory Woolley, which occurred in front of the latter's wife and their three-day-old baby .

Also known by the nickname Tupac (2-Pac), the criminal, now 38 years old, has always played the role of henchman for the Italian mafia or criminal bikers, according to our sources.

This individual has never been of the caliber of what we call decision-makers in organized crime. It has nothing to do with the reputation that Woolley had built in the criminal world. He is not in the same league , says a contact at theS.Q..

Both on the side of SPVMthan that of the S.Q., the police consider that Ahna Otna conveys falsehoods on social networks.

However, Otna's recent comments only fuel the tense climate in the criminal environment, which the population of the metropolis does not need , worry investigators specializing in organized crime.

Unsurprisingly, his ambitions to become the next godfather of street gangs are not unanimous. The police say they contacted Otna on Monday evening for a duty to warn(responsibility to warn), because a price would now be put on his head.

He is a criminal of African origin, who speaks in French, English and Portuguese. He never hid his dislike for Gregory Woolley, whom he saw as a nuisance to his rise in the streets. It was a known fact in the world of street gangs , analyzes a source atSPVMwho is not authorized to comment publicly on ongoing criminal investigations.

THESPVMand theS.Q.recall that the majority of conflicts which have ended in public shootings have originated on social networks between factions of street gangs over the past three years.

He believes he has the means to achieve his ambitions by imposing himself through fear and violence. He has access to several small groups of armed criminals, capable of carrying out jobs to pass messages, and capable of opening fire , adds this same police officer in Montreal

Culture of violence

Ahna Otna is not only active in the criminal world: he also has a life as a music artist, under the name Tupac, presenting himself as a rapper.

According to the public judicial register, he faced justice in 2012 for drug trafficking and trafficking for the benefit of a criminal organization. Subsequently, he was arrested a few more times for aggravated assault, extortion and threats to cause death or bodily harm.

To ensure his safety, he travels in a vehicleSUVarmored, in addition to living in a luxury condo tower in the heart of downtown Montreal. He is in the culture of music and violence , indicates a second police source at SPVM.

He was a close friend of Frantz Louis, nicknamed “Big Brother”, murdered with a gun while getting out of his car in the Ahuntsic district in November 2020 , specifies this same investigator.

Until 2021, he was considered a close associate of mafioso Davide Barberio. The police claim that he was his henchman to carry out extortion aimed at settling debts from sports betting or usurious loans, but that a conflict ended their business relationship.

Today, Ahna Otna is linked by the police to Patrick Lock, a member of the Hells Angels. Targeted by an attempted murder that occurred on July 21, 2022 in a café on rue Jean-Talon, Lock would have obtained a guarantee of protection from Ahna Otna as a sign of loyalty.

another interesting article. this one appears to be spelling his name different than previous articles. what is most revealing though is the ref to otna having a falling out with barberio in 2021. a falling out with barberio after the murder of louis and now otna is linked to patrick lock a full patch from trois rivieres who was the target of an attempted murder july 22 2022. i think that date is 2021 and the shooting it is referring to is the same one where piero arena was in attendance, at cafe sorrento, which is on jean talon street. articles from around that time only ref'd that there was a full patch with arena and likely the shots were fired at the HA member not arena. so if this is the same shooting the attempt was on lock. also at time of g. woolleys murder there were articles mentioning that woolley was currently in conflict with both lock and HA full patch also from trois rivieres casper ouimet recently released from prison. all this could help us decipher which side piero arena was on at time of july 2021 shooting and his subsequent sept 2021 murder. did arena switch and go with HA side in this conflict? further to that we do not really know yet what brought on this HA vs. MAFIA war? likely just money at first that apparently quickly spiraled out of control.

VitoCahill do you have anything saying Patrick Lock is a me ber of Trois Rivieres after 2018? As of 2018 he was a member of the Ontario Nomads and I haven't seen anything since then.

sorry mafia 101 i may have jumped the gun. the ref to lock came in a recent article by the journal de mtl after woolley hit. it ref'd as i said both lock and ouimet in conflict with woolley. i suppose i assumed since ouimet is a longtime power and fullpatch in that chapter(trois rivieres) that lock is as well. i did find the lapresse article from 2018 mentioning both he and steven collard were now in control of new ontario nomads chapter based in ottawa.

Which crew is Otna aligned with?

as per newest article otna was an associate of davide barberio until some point in 2021. after this he became an associate of full patch HA patrick lock. there is still some question as to which chapter lock belongs to. if we are talking gang crew, there has been no ref to any affiliation. this lack of affiliation may be the start of a trend as blue red allegiance is becoming to some extent less important among some street gang sets. it could also explain why some of those arrested for the most recent of arsons and shootings have no record or known gang allegiance. there is a line from newest article about otna having " access to several small groups of armed criminals capable of carrying out jobs to pass messages." now not exactly direct proof of anything but its what it doesnt claim which is any direct link to any gang color or set specifically. otna is described as being a close friend of deceased frantz louis before his 2020 murder. the info about that hit is that the contract first went to frederick silva while he was imprisoned before his cooperation, then was subbed out or bought out by sacha cesar nelson. nelson it is alleged sourced the hit team. there appears to be questions then as well about nelsons allegiance during this time. most put him as allied with arsene mompoint and unit 44. he was known to lead a downtown montreal heroin network in an area once controlled by the scoppa clan. the 2023 arrests of sergio ciampanelli and same sane muong on cocaine trafficking charges revealed that ciampanelli had met with nelson around aug 2020 and closer to nelsons murder. ciampanelli had also been seen meeting with leonardo rizzuto and others. now possible ciampanelli had these meetings completely by chance maybe even attended grade school with rizzuto, who knows. up until his 2023 arrest ciampanelli had no record. but those meetings recorded by police are curious to me. as usual i have diverted off the path of main question only to pose several more. the louis murder however we still dont know motive for it. was he suspected of spilling beans on barberio with regard to summer 2020 extortion/loan sharking arrest? the silva angle is why i ask. why would silva have been picked while imprisoned to orchestrate this? silva has been described as being close to rizzuto/sollecito clan, contacted to take out an associate of said clan, using at the time an alleged or perceived enemy in nelson. so by nov 2020 silva and nelson were sure working for same side the question is which side?

The right arm of kingpin Gregory Woolley arrested
Two loaded firearms were found during an SPVM search of his home in Sainte-Julie on Friday

Jean Winsing Barthelus, 45, was charged Saturday morning at the Montreal courthouse with having possessed two firearms, a Glock 26 and a Khar CW9, while doing so was prohibited.

The two prohibited weapons were loaded,” said Crown prosecutor Mr. Simon Lacoste during the appearance.

According to the denunciation, the seized weapons were found in a GMC Yukon SUV and in his residence in Sainte-Julie, on the South Shore of Montreal.

Close to Woolley

Barthelus, nicknamed Zing, was considered Woolley's “right arm,” according to an analysis report from the Quebec Criminal Intelligence Service obtained by the Bureau of Investigation in 2021.

Remember that Gregory Woolley was murdered last November in front of his wife and their newborn baby in the crowded parking lot of a CLSC in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu. No arrests have yet been made in this case.

Gregory Woolley was close to both the leaders of the Italian mafia and the Hells Angels. Over the years, he ordered or himself committed several murders on Quebec soil, according to our information.

Several backgrounds

Barthelus was arrested in 2015 as part of Operation Magot-Mastiff, which helped undermine an alliance between the mafia, bikers and gangs in the Montreal region.

He had pleaded guilty to charges of gangsterism, cocaine trafficking conspiracy and cocaine trafficking. He was sentenced to 57 months in prison in 2019, but was able to be released in the following days due to the preventive detention he had already served.

His boss Gregory Woolley, also accused in this case, was sentenced to five years in prison.

Barthelus was sentenced to 30 days in prison in 2012 for possession of a weapon, even though he was prohibited from doing so.

He had previously received sentences of 17 months in prison in 2010 and 30 months in 2006, for various charges including gangsterism.

https://www.lapresse.ca/actualites/...-woolley-arrete-avec-des-armes-a-feu.php

A right-hand man of the late kingpin Gregory Woolley arrested with firearms

Bloodhounds first found a loaded pistol in his vehicle and another later in the day in his residence located on the South Shore of Montreal.
Jean-Winsing Barthelus appeared Saturday at the Longueuil courthouse where he was notably accused of possession of weapons. The prosecution objected to his release and he will return to court in the coming days.
Barthelus, who came from blue street gangs, was a long-time traveling companion of Gregory Woolley with whom he was part, during the 1990s, of a group called the Syndicate which controlled drug trafficking in downtown Montreal on behalf of the Hells Angels.
Today, Barthelus is still considered by the police as a biker relation.
Under ban

Barthelus is already under an order prohibiting him from possessing a weapon. This was renewed the last time in March 2019 when Judge Marc David, of the Superior Court, sentenced him to 57 months in prison for gangsterism, conspiracy and cocaine trafficking.

But, subtracting the period spent in preventive detention, he only had one day left to serve.
Barthelus and Gregory Woolley were arrested in November 2015 in Operation Magot-Mastiff through which the Sûreté du Québec decapitated a mafia-biker-gang alliance that had led Montreal organized crime since the natural death of former godfather Vito Rizzuto.
A statement of facts filed in court revealed that the head of a drug trafficking network operating in the Hochelaga-Maisonneuve district — who became a collaborating witness for the police — had communicated several times with Barthelus to order kilograms of cocaine.
Barthelus has other criminal histories involving drugs and weapons possession. He was sentenced to 30 months for gangsterism, possession of a firearm and drug trafficking in 2006. He received another 17 months for gangsterism and possession of property obtained by crime in 2010.

A man shot dead in Dollard-des-Ormeaux

https://montrealgazette.com/news/lo...land-settling-of-accounts-police-believe

Fatal shooting outside Galeries des Sources was a gangland settling of accounts, police believe

from these 3 articles it looks like cantave was a blues allied member linked to markens vilme (imprisoned) and atna onha (still unsure of spelling). onha has recentlu been linked to patrick lock a f.p. HA member from either the trois rivieres chapter or montreal. vilme has also been linked to youness aithaqi (imprisoned) a gang member alleged to be responsible for directing arsons against both the accurso family and businesses in the laval area. if we take away anything from this it can be that the victim was NOT allied with the rizzuto-sollecito clan or mirarchi, or for that matter any other clan. cantave would then fall into those allied with HA if but barely. i mention the mafia clans only because i think its important to try to decipher with these gang hits which are related to a possible conflict between criminal groups and which are gang disputes arising from facebook rap videos or other minor incidents totally unrelated to organized crime. this murder appears to be related to a conflict not a petty dispute. the readiness of the press and police to name his associates and long criminal record doesnt put him in the low level gang banger category to me.

so possible related to rizzuto-sollecito clan vs. MTL HA
turmel allied gangs vs. HA

....??? for now, i guess we will see...eventually.

VitoCahill where are you getting Patrick Lock might be a Montreal Hells Angel? He was a Trois-Rivières member and then went to the Ontario Nomads when they reopened with Steven Collard and is probably still with the Nomads.

i believe he is a member of trois rivieres. i have heard he could have switched to mtl. i cannot recall where or what article. i do remember the ref in 2018 to him patching over to ottawa nomads chapter but as far as that info goes it ended in 2018 or shortly there after. there has been no good evidence in 6 yrs now that lock has anything to do with ottawa. in 2021 proj. pouboire steve collard was arrested and charged with being a trois rivieres prospect in charge of a drug network in drummondville area. he was sentenced oct.26 2022 to 42 mths in prison. collard was getting cocaine from jean paul ramsay with his son jessy ramsay-koch acting as middle man. so i think we can rule out collards connection to ottawa. as far as lock i guess i will rule out the mtl chapter. if lock is operating in ottawa it is completely under the radar.

Looks like we both are wrong and have dated info. I just found a article from 2022 that puts him as a member of the South chapter and I think that'd the most recent id we have now.

A man known to the police is the victim of an attempted murder by shooting

The victim is Ali Chaaban Lebanese?

Well I think its fair to keep an eye on Atna Ohna.

Feburary 6, Stevens Cantave is killed in Dollard-des-Ormeaux.

https://www.lapresse.ca/actualites/...-tue-par-balle-a-dollard-des-ormeaux.php

According to our information, Stevens Cantave was also, at least at some time, close to Atna Onha, another member of a blue allegiance street gang who has often been talked about in the criminal community for several months.

On Feburary 9, there is a hit on Ali Chaaban.

https://ici.radio-canada.ca/nouvelle/2048356/tentative-de-meutre-laval-ali-chaban-enquete

The police consider Chaban as a close friend of Ahna Otna, who exerts a certain influence in the street gang community of Greater Montreal.

Look like people close to Ohna are getting hit.

Former police officer Jimmy Chérizier, alias “Barbecue,” is one of Haiti's most important gang leaders. He is best known for establishing the G9 and Family (G9 an fanmi – G9), a criminal federation of nine powerful gangs in Haiti's capital of Port-au-Prince.

Retialation for Stevans death?

Gregory Woolley's murder has caused a power struggle among the Haitians I think.

Interesting. Are you saying it may be an internal feud for leadership of the Blue gang ?

No. Just wondering based on the past killing that's tied to the different factions of gangs.

Things are getting hot in montreal.
Many gangs are at war.

« it may be an internal feud for leadership of the Blue gang ? »
There is no one entity of the blue gang. There are many crip gangs in montreal. And the syndicates was an alliance of many of those blue gangs. But there are still many powerful crip gangs that are not part of the syndicates, and many we’re enemies with the syndicates.

Otna for example, is part of a crip gang that is against the Syndicates.

« Gregory Woolley's murder has caused a power struggle among the Haitians I think. »

The syndicates are going into a turmoil right now, so people allied with the enemies of the syndicates are going after them.
But some hits last week, against people close to Otna may been have made by the syndicates.

The syndicates made alot of enemies during many years. Enemies with some blood gangs and some crip gangs.
Also, people in the street want to be the next Woolley, but time will tell us if someone can fill those shoes.

Otna seem king of young and hot headed.
Celestin, some guys don’t want to follow him, because of is sexual orientation.
The Bloods from Montreal seem to doing problem in Quebec City.

Good insight Blackmobs !

Will be interesting to know, what alliances will develop at end of all of this, and under who's leadership.

Thanks @Ciment

Yes, for now its too early to know the alliances pf the many different gangs in Montreal.

But you got some key players that we most keep an eye on.

Ahna Otna.
Seem like this guy is a crip.
Two peop’e of his entourage got hit the last two weeks.
Steven Cantave got killed in DDO.
Chaban (probably a lebanese) survive an murder attempt

The guys from the Syndicates:
Emmanuel Zephir.
People outside of Montreal don’t know how important this guy is in the Montreal gang scene.
He was the leader of the most famous crip gang in all of Montreal, the Crack Down Posse (CDP).
Him and his brothers are really heavy, and control many part of the eastside of montreal.
They also control the most famous crip hoods in Montreal, a part of St-Michel, called Pie-9.
So, are the Zephir brothers still allied with the Rizzuto or the HA ?
And are they still allign or part of what was called the Syndicates ?

Sprince Cadet:
The real right hand man of Woolley since the biker war, and even before that.
Heavy in the St-Michel neighborhood and parts of Montreal.

The Celestins:
The Celestins just lost one of there own.
They are 5 brothers, and most of them are involve in the criminal world (don’t know if its all of them).
They will want revenge
Heavy in many lucrative hoods in Montreal, parts with alot of tourists.

The Bloods:
Mostly the bloods from the eastiside of Montreal.
Hoods from Montreal-North and RDP
The younger generation are at war, but look like the older cats are still cool.
Should keep an eye on them, because many have a grudge against Woolley and the Syndicates.
Mompoint was from this part of gangs of montreal.

Western part of montreal.
You got many hoods from the western part of Montreal. Are they involve in this power struggle in Montreal ?
The Rollin 90s, a gang from pierrefonds, is a key suspect in the murder of BM.
A member from the Ruff Ryders (older pierrefonds gang) got killed in december.
And you got other neighborhoods like south-west, lasalle etc.

Thank again, great info !

Don’t know if the two are related, but Celestin is a common name in the haitian community, but also all the french islands in the caribbean.

The importance of street gangs in Quebec's criminal ecosystem | Isabelle Richer

The rise of the street gangs.

Sorry, this video is in french, but I guess some of ya’ll are from Montreal.

Before, there was three major organizations in the criminal world of Montreal.
You had the Italian mafia (Cotroni and after the Rizzuto’s), the Bikers (hells angels) and the Irish Mob (west end gang).
Today, we could say that the irish mob is not one of the major factor anymore. Sure you got some irish gangster that still hold weight, but they are not one of the top factors anymore.

Montreal, got many criminal groups, you have the lebanese, the turks, the algerians and morrocans, the greeks, the africans (like congoleses or cameroonian), the black-anglo (jamaicans, scottians or other west indies) and the haitians.

Before, you had the big three, italian mafia, hells angels and irish mob.

But today, in 2024, could we say that the big three of montreal are the Bikers (hells angels), the italian mafia and the street gangs ? And more specifically, the haitian street gangs that have became groups of organized crime ? People like Woolley, Celestin, Mompoint, Cadet and their groups.

Murder in Terrebonne: the victim is linked to an influential Montreal boss

https://www.lapresse.ca/actualites/...victimes-examines-par-les-enqueteurs.php

Victims' links examined by investigators

According to our information, Jean-Philippe Célestin, former right-hand man of gang leader Gregory Woolley, was seen wearing a Marauders jacket in a Montreal bar on Thursday evening by the SPVM's Eclipse squad, which specializes in surveillance of bars and the collection of information on organized crime, which would support information received at La Presse from the criminal community.

Some of their members allegedly carried out surveillance during the funeral of Brandon Jean Célestin, celebrated on March 5 in a church in Plateau Mont-Royal.

However, the police do not yet officially consider Jean-Philippe Célestin as a member of the Marauders.

So it look like Celestin his still really close to the HA.

The Woolley murder is so confusing, and the alliances in Quebec right now are also confusing.

Is Celestin still close to the Rizzuto’s ?

What is happening between the Rizzuto’s and the Montreal’s HA ?

Which gang is going after the Celestin crew ? Is it the Otna crew ?

Anha Otna is also close to the HA montreal chapter

I agree it is very confusing.

You brought up valid questions.
Another question comes to mind is, are they doing a clean up on account of Federick Silva spilling the beans ? Silva's investigation involves several murders which if convicted can result in very long sentences in jail. This purging would benefit all three groups Street gangs, HA and the Mafia clan. Some members would be loyal enough to serve a 6 year sentence, but would they change their minds if it would involve 25 years in jail if not more for multiple murders ?

Furthermore ,this confusion encourages rival groups to challenge existing leaderships.

Also where do the bloods fit into this equation ?

The residence of the mother of gang leader Jean-Philippe Célestin was the target of several gunshots on the Plateau on Saturday evening, in Montreal: a monumental affront to the code of honor according to which one does not attack the family of a member of organized crime.

Rumors in Montreal about the bloods, is that they are the one going after the Hells Angels in Quebec City. They are the one that are giving drugs to the BFM guys.

When I asked the question, I meant the Bloods in Montreal region vs Crips.

The Bloods vs Crips is not a thing anymore in Montreal.
Sure you still have some conflicts between some blood gangs against some crips gangs, but you got as much conflicts between crips vs crips and bloods vs bloods.

So now its more about cliques vs cliques, and the color don’t matter

Thanks for clarifying the Blood gangs.

Whoever is after the Celestin's seem to have inside information, like knowing about the engagement Party when Brandon was shot and knowing the parents residence.

But you are also right, we most not forget the bloods in this conflict. They do have a grudge against Woolley and Celestin, since they were at war for decades.
Also, they lost key players against Woolley. Guys like Chenier and BM.

Many people got killed in this conflict between the sf and ldr guys against many other hoods.

Not about a haitian gang, but western african crime groups.
We often talk about the Italians or lebanese when its about stolen vehicles and the port of montreal.
But there is a third party, as important as the two others. The west african crime groups from Montreal or Toronto. You got guys like Ahna Otna who are making alot of money with stolen cars.

Pieces of equipment that could be used to locate them were removed. Subsequently, he transported them to the port of Montreal , explained Agent Vallières.

Le caïd Jean-Philippe Célestin bénéficierait de la protection des Hells Angels
https://ici.radio-canada.ca/nouvelle/2064132/jean-philippe-celestin-marauders-hells-angels

with it now being confirmed that celestin was wearing the marauders colors we can now place him and his associates firmly in the camp of martin robert and the mtl HA. the marauders mc are a newer support club and are said to provide security at HA runs and funerals apparently. members of the marauders mc have also been linked direct to robert, eric bleau comes to mind. it could be said that this is a loss for the rizzuto-sollecito clan, but i am not convinced celestin was ever totally allied with them. celestin was loyal to woolley and worked with him and HA members and associates during the magot/mastiff period (2012-2015).

all said with even these small morsels of intell leaking out it does clear the picture a bit as to who may have murdered celestins brother. we can rule out the HA en masse. it certainly was not anha otna as he is allied with patrick lock a full patch member. possible the rizzuto-sollecito clan but as i mentioned above what proof do we have that such a close alliance or working relationship amongst r-s and celestin ever existed? i have never read of a single mafia member from any clan, let alone the r-s that was tasked with being the link or drug supplier for celestin. this poses another question. how involved are the rizzuto-sollecito clan in street level drug sales anyway or drug trafficking in general. there have been many oft repeated claims of involvement in high level drug trafficking but these were legally thrown out against the 2 leaders of said clan in 2019.the other claims of drug trafficking are historical not current. there is no doubt the rizzutos were once high level importers of all kinds of narcotics, but this was decades ago, likely there involvement today is financing some imports of only cocaine. the main business for the r-s clan is 'the book' and all the rackets it revolves around. all to say i dont think the motive for the recent attacks against the celestin gang involves a dispute over drug territory related to the r-s clan.

That a big news, so Celestin is now a Marauders.
Like VitoCahill said, now we know Celestin is in the same side of Martin Robert.
But we got many questions

Who killed Woolley ? If its the Hells, how the other members of the Syndicates feel about the kill and the fact that Celestin is a Marauders now.
And was it really the HAs who order the hit against Woolley ?

Who was going after Celestin? Probably not Otna, since he’s close to the Montreal and Ottawa chapters.

Where do guys like Zephir, Bartheleus and Cadet stand in all of this?

Celestin had is own territory, and he had to give a part to the HAs, to become an Marauders.
Like people in montreal always said, montreal is not all HAs or Mafia like the news always said, we lnow that there are many groups who have there own territory, and they don’t pay taxes to the mafia or the HAs.

Danny Cadet and Jean Barthelus have come up as Hells Angels associates in articles from the last few months.
