However, Desjardins, former right hand of Vito Rizzuto, was arrested on December 20 in this matter, which was immediately put away for a possible attack against his person.

Security

Plainclothes officers of the Emergency Response Team of the Sûreté du Québec (SQ), wearing bulletproof vests, were in the convoy and several police officers stood guard in the corridors and in the courtroom of the courthouse Joliette.

Betrayed by his BlackBerry
