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?
