and concerning the attempt on stephane dupuis he was once aligned w/ francesco del balso or more likely was paying pizzo/street tax to him for the ability to operate as a cocaine trafficker in the MTL area.
all of that was in 2006 so where his alliance falls in 2020 who the heck knows.
the article mentions that he was still connected to both the MAFIA and HA??being a criminal in mtl this is not shocking, as to whom the mafia and ha connections r as usual the author leaves that out of the article.
it is also mentioned that dupuis was seen frequenting a laval cafe where he met with a mafia member who financed cocaine deals and laundered money???
a quick guess would be giuseppe focarazzo but who knows.
