The individual was one of the 10 most wanted criminals in Quebec. He was arrested around 1:00 am by the tactical intervention group (GTI) of the Police Department of the City of Montreal (SPVM), we learned.
Detained, he was to be interrogated by the investigators. He should appear Saturday afternoon.
The Montreal police have been on the heels of this man since 2017 who is considered as armed and dangerous, notably suspected of having committed a murder in Montreal and attempting to murder a mafia individual in Lachenaie, in the North Shore.
Silva and 10 of his friends had appeared in February of this year in a restaurant, where was Salvatore Scoppa, 47, a major player in the Montreal mafia. He then opened fire several times towards Scoppa, hitting him twice.
