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.
