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.
