https://www.journaldemontreal.com/2018/08/07/le-hells-se-plaint-davoir-ete-accuse-de-mauvaise-foiClaiming to have been incarcerated "illegally" for 17 months, a Sherbrooke Hells Angel, who has been cleared of all charges, is demanding $ 3 million from the authorities, a former prosecutor and an informer.
Christian Ménard "argues that the charges against him, which were eventually dropped by the Crown more than six years later, were introduced and maintained in bad faith, for a motive other than that of the application of the law, that of annihilating the Hells Angels ... ", reads in the lawsuit filed last Thursday at the courthouse in Montreal and which The Journal had copy.
Coincidence or simple calculation, the amount that Christian Ménard wants to get compensation is very similar to that received by the informer Sylvain Boulanger to incriminate his former biker brothers.
The 40-year-old is jointly and severally seeking $ 3 million from the Attorney General of Quebec - representing the Director of Criminal and Penal Prosecutions (DPCP) and the Sûreté du Québec (SQ) - to former Crown Attorney Me Madeleine Giauque and the repentant biker Sylvain Boulanger.
