Unrecognizable, "Mom" Boucher dreams of revenge
The ex-Hells chief told the visiting room that he would like to kill several of his former biker colleagues

They know that I'm going to get revenge. All those who did to me what ... If I ever go out, it is the first that I will kill ”, launches Boucher in a punished language while his daughter Alexandra visits him in the penitentiary with super-maximum security of Sainte-Anne-des-Plaines.
He has been serving a life sentence there for almost 20 years for ordering the murders of two correctional officers in 1997.
The conversations to which the authors had access were recorded by the police in 2015 during the Magot investigation project, carried out while Boucher was plotting to try to have the kingpin Raynald Desjardins killed.
The convict, whose last known picture to the public was from 2005, has changed a lot. Aged and ill after years in prison, he is unrecognizable with his overweight and big white beard.

The cut bridges
"I hate them all, but there is a lot of it, yes. If they don't think about it or they've forgotten it, well, I haven't forgotten [...]. Worse it'll hurt besides that, "spits the 67-year-old prisoner of the bikers he ruled with an iron fist during the 1990s, until his conviction.

The Quebec Hells, however, cut ties with him by expelling him from the gang in a unanimous vote of all members gathered in assembly in the spring of 2014.
For them, their former leader is now "a thing of the past," one said, according to police documents cited in the book.
Boucher never digested it. He even wrote down the date of his rejection in an address book the police seized from cell 104 where the fallen motorcyclist spends most of his time. It wrote: "OUT-HA March 22, 2014".

The world, they love me (sic) not ”, he adds with reference to the world of criminal bikers, aware that several ex-brothers in arms hold him responsible for their incarceration in Operation SharQc linked to their role in the war against the Rock Machine which left 165 dead in Quebec between 1994 and 2002.
"This is the wrong one"
We learn in this book that Boucher is inhabited by strong feelings of resentment and injustice towards the criminal gang whose effigy and initials were still tattooed on his body in 2015. He calls some Hells "cowards", without them. appoint.
"I was 'at bat' for them all the time," he reminds his daughter bitterly, referring to his former Hells brethren during the biker war. It was Moé who made them eat. There, it’s me who’s in prison. Worse, it’s not good. "

GETTING OUT OF PRISON WOULD BE "A MIRACLE"
In the parlor, "Mom" Boucher tells her daughter that he "already has (his) plan" to take revenge against his ex-brothers in arms if he ever finds his freedom.
But it would take "a miracle", he adds, pessimistic about his chances of ever leaving the penitentiary.
When his daughter suggests that he might be a little too old to embark on a stressful vendetta, Boucher responds in the negative.
"I lived my life the same," he said at the time, referring to his entire life marked by violent conflicts and armed confrontations.
Resentment "for life"
The one the bikers nicknamed "Mom" because he behaved like a mother to them with her questions and advice expresses his hatred towards a veteran of the Hells, among other things.
Boucher calls him a "hypocritical host" when he learns that this biker had gone on a trip to the South with his former mistress, who is the mother of his daughter Alexandra.
Frustrated, the convict then assumes that they did not "just eat chips together" on the trip ...
"Me I forgive, but I do not forget," he said, adding that he held a grudge "for life."
Already in life imprisonment, he received a symbolic 10-year sentence in 2018 after being convicted of conspiracy to murder.

HE HATES DELATORS AND LAWYERS
Maurice Boucher also has a lot on his heart against his former proteges who have become informers and against lawyers whom he describes as useless.
Without filter, the former head of the Hells Angels does not hesitate to spit his venom during conversations with his daughter Alexandra, excerpts from which are recounted in the book Le Parloir.
"Godasse, disgustingly dirty! "He exclaims when he learns that his ex-henchman turned informer, Stéphane" Godasse "Gagné, could be granted parole.
Boucher, who is incarcerated in Sainte-Anne-des-Plaines in the only "super-maximum" security penitentiary in the country, claims that this former member of the Rockers school club from whom he ordered the murders of two prison guards in 1997 "told lies" in court by testifying for the Crown at his trial in 2002.
"I got f ..."
“Mom” also pours his gall on the lawyers, to whom he claims to have “given all [his] money” to ensure his defense and “to try to get rid of the informers”.
“I trusted them blindly. But I got screwed, ”Boucher told his daughter Alexandra, saying he made“ a big mistake ”.
He even claims that "the lawyers are just there for you to pay them [...] because you wouldn't have any, and that wouldn't change anything", adding that some members of the Bar that he does not however identify by their name is "eaters of s ...".

Colleagues Félix Séguin and Eric Thibault have co-authored a book that was published just today.

Hells Angels control drug trafficking into the US from Canada.

With all due respect Hollander, I think that statement is a major overreach of their abilities and control.

At least on the Canadian side they are the most prominent ofcourse there are other groups for example those Wolf Pack guys in BC.

On the Canadian side I believe that they are one of the top smugglers. But you still have all the Italian groups, and many independents of various nationalities operating on both sides of the border.

ny mafia c'mon i know it pains u too admit that the canadian HA are extremely powerful but they are.
drugs,on line gambling loan sharking,extortion etc. they run the gamut of crimes.
the HA in QC and ON r still involved in financing grow ops,protection of said sights and a penetrating of legal market. as well as having direct connections to cartels through chapters across the globe.

now do they control all export of drugs into the U.S. from canada unlikely. there has long been an ongoing trade involving illegal tobacco from the U.S. being imported
into ON/QC to finance further grow ops,cocaine purchase. the export of still coveted world class canadian pot continues across the border into U.S.

also the wolf pack alliance includes certain chapters and members of the HA.
the HA who have allied themselves with mafia groups in MTL particularly the montreal chapter are the most powerful in north america.

an older article but explains long time partnership of different crime groups exporting a BILLION worth of high end pot into u.s.

https://www.thegrowthop.com/cannabi...m-quebec-to-vermont-seized-at-u-s-border

no mention of HA in this article but if pot is moving south from QC the odds of them not being involved are pretty slim.
more interesting are the seizure numbers along the buffalo border in 2020.

Not at all. In fact, I'm in accordance with you on that. The Canadian branch of the Hells Angels is very powerful. Deceptively powerful in fact. Much more than their U.S.A. counterparts.

All I'm saying to that the HA's do NOT have a "lock" on drug smuggling across the border. There are many, many drug trafficking organizations (traditional OC as well) who are also major players in that game.

agreed...what i did notice looking up some of these busts and what i know previous is that the HA and these other import networks deal direct with the cartels.
i can find no info of u.s. mafia groups exporting to canada...aside from possibly tobacco.

HA's from Quebec, BC, Ontario and even Manitoba and Alberta are definitely the major local force in organized crime. Especially the French Canadian chapters hold a power that's basically on par with that of the Sicilian mafia in Quebec and their operations are extremely sophisticated.

Canada isn't the only country where one percenters are a major force. HA's and Bandidos chapters from the Netherlands, Germany, Denmark, Sweden and Finland have all been big international players throughout the years. Same can be said for biker groups in Australia and New Zealand or the Satudarah in the Netherlands. They all have money laundering operations that extend to Spain, Thailand and South Africa.

In many ways they are the local/homegrown version of the Mob in these countries.

It's also a new generation in their 20s/30s using technology, the internet, changes a lot of dynamics of power, relationships, contacts and businesses, both legal and illegal.

Organized crime: forced retirement for the ex-chief of the Hells Angels, Salvatore Cazzetta

For Cazzetta, who was no longer unanimous within the Hells after having been considered one of the most influential actors in organized crime in Quebec for three decades, it is a forced retirement akin to a expulsion.

The 67-year-old biker, who led the Hells between 2011 and 2016, had no intention of leaving the ranks of the powerful criminal organization, according to our sources.
But other influential members of the band would however have strongly suggested that he leave “on good terms” by abandoning his “patches” of the Hells of the Montreal chapter that he had worn for nearly 17 years.
“There are a lot of movements in the criminal world at the moment, alliances are changing and Cazzetta no longer has its place” among the dominant forces of organized crime in Montreal, explained to us a police source well aware of the situation.
Nicknamed "Sal" or "The Beard" in the underworld, was last seen sporting his Hells jacket in late October, during a Hells motorcycle ride aimed at mark the sixth anniversary of the founding of their chapter in New Brunswick.
Remember that Salvatore Cazzetta was also one of the founding members of the Rock Machine, the group of bikers who fought a bloody war in the Hells during the 90s. However, Cazzetta did not take part in this murderous war since he was then incarcerated for a conspiracy to import 200 kg of cocaine into the United States.
Another leader dismissed
For at least three years, it is Martin Robert, whose sumptuous wedding in downtown Montreal had hit the headlines in December 2018, that the police consider the leader of the Hells in Quebec.

Normally, the Hells take a vote at a meeting when it comes to removing a member in good standing from their ranks, according to their internal regulations, but it was not possible to know if this was necessary in Cazzetta's case.

However, this is what the Hells had done in March 2014 by adopting, unanimously, during an "East Coast" meeting of all their Quebec members, the expulsion "on good terms" of their fallen leader, Maurice “Mom” Butcher.
The latter, who died of cancer last July while serving a life sentence for having ordered the murders of two prison guards in 1997, has never digested his rejection of the Hells and even thought of taking revenge, according to police documents obtained by our Investigation Office and cited in the book Le Parloir.
Avoid internal purges
Other Hells Angels known but less influential than Salvatore Cazzetta have also left the gang on good terms over the past decade, including Claude Berger, a member of the Sherbrooke chapter who was also a trumpet player with the Orchester symphonique de Québec, and Michel Lajoie-Smith, a member of the South chapter who was among the leaders of the Montreal drug market.
According to the club's internal regulations, there are two ways to leave the Hells: on good terms (or "good standing") and on bad terms ("bad standing").

By using the soft method to force members to leave, the Hells Angels thus avoid internal purges and break with the radical methods of the past, which we saw in particular during the biker war between 1994 and 2002.
One thinks, among others, of member in good standing Scott Steinert, whose skull was smashed with a hammer in 1997 in the Hells bunker in Sorel and whose body was found on the banks of the St. the following year, or to the gang's ex-number 2, Louis "Melou" Roy, whom the gang disappeared in June 2000 for a dispute related to cocaine trafficking.
