Converted to Buddhism, but still unable to make a definitive mark on his past as a member of the Hells Angels, Mario Auger will be under house arrest even though he is entitled to full parole.
Promoted hangaround in 1996, then a member in good standing of the Hells Angels chapter of Quebec two years later, Mario "Banane" Auger was arrested in the biggest police raid against the criminal world, Operation SharQc in 2009.
Auger was initially charged with "16 counts of first degree murder" in addition to drug trafficking and gangsterism.
The charge was then downgraded for conspiracy to assassinate identified individuals to groups such as Rock Machines, Bandidos, Alliance, Dark Circle and other independent groups who refused to join. supply drugs to the Hells Angels. In 2013, "Banane" was sentenced to 7 years and 7 months.
During his detention, the 49-year-old man, however, showed a conformist behavior. He who is in his second federal sentence has also been intellectually involved in adhering to Buddhist philosophy in addition to Native spirituality.
He even engaged with the Aboriginal elder in ceremonies while sharing his "reflections" and discovering "other ways of seeing life" with the Buddhist chaplain.
Assigned to residence
This evolution, however, did not push the Hells away from its biker gang. "In the institution, you participate in all the [Hells Angels] gatherings that have been observed," says the Parole Board of Canada.
In addition, Auger said he did not make a "definitive break on [his] criminal lifestyle and on [his] belonging to the Hells Angels".
This element prompted the commissioners to exercise caution. Thus, a condition of house arrest was imposed on him, which means that he will have to live in a halfway house.
In addition, like the Hells Pierre Hamilton who was imposed the same conditions at the beginning of the month, the commission forbids him to "flaunt any sign allowing you to connect to criminal organizations." He will not be able to wear his "patches" or colors in the effigy of HA.
