After having met some fifty actors of Quebec organized crime, the investigators of Centaure, a provincial strategy to fight against violence linked to firearms announced at the end of September by the Minister of Public Security, Geneviève Guilbault, began this campaign. week of visiting members of street gangs at the heart of dozens of violent events in Montreal, especially over the past two years, La Presse has learned.

The police have met - or will in the coming days - several influential members of gangs of red allegiance, including Zone 43 and Profit Kollectaz, involved in numerous incidents of gunfire, attempted murders and murders with guns. fire since 2019 in Montreal and the metropolitan area.

These two enemy gangs are established respectively in the neighboring boroughs of Montreal-North and Rivière-des-Prairies.
According to a compilation by La Presse, approximately 160 incidents of gunfire, attempted murder or murder by firearm have occurred in Montreal since the beginning of the year, including several in the northeast of the metropolis.
According to our information, out of 26 murder victims since the start of the year in the metropolis, at least six (one in five) were linked to gangs, including Zone 43 and Profit Kollectaz.
Three of these six victims died when gusts were fired at an alleged Profit Kollectaz base on boulevard Perras, in the Rivière-des-Prairies neighborhood, last August.

In recent months, experts have testified in court and declared that this increase in the number of shootings - often of high intensity - in Montreal was explained in particular by the greater ease for young people to obtain a weapon, by conflicts. exacerbated on social media and by a “gun culture”.
Another factor to consider, however, is that older gang members no longer have influence over younger ones, police officers told La Presse.

Centaur investigators have also met in recent weeks with some of these older, established, respected gang members with ties to organized crime, but not all of them were willing to collaborate with them, La learned. Hurry.
Unwanted visit

Since the end of September, Centaur investigators have also met with around 20 members of the Hells Angels and nearly 30 actors from the Mafia, Lebanese organized crime and indigenous organized crime, we were told. . Some of these meetings have been virtual due to the risks associated with COVID-19.

The police say they want to put pressure on these organizations to reduce the circulation of firearms and the number of shootings, which has been on the rise since 2019.
“There are those who have not wanted to collaborate, who have told us that they are not involved in this or that they have no influence. But most don't like it [the violence in the streets] and told us they would spread the word, ”a police source reported.
“Bikers, mafia and other organized crime actors all know that violence brings more police funding, more pressure and they don't like it when we knock on their doors. These meetings also have a preventive effect. They slow down the activities of organized crime, ”adds another.
The primary goal of the police officers of the National Operation Centaur is to attack the importers and distributors of firearms, and not the young people who shoot in the streets of Montreal.

Rather, they are targeted by investigations by local teams to fight against firearms crimes from the Service de police de la Ville de Montréal (SPVM).

But Centaur officials believe that in addition to gang disputes or conflicts exacerbated by social media, gunfire events that occur in the Montreal area or elsewhere are ordered directly by organized crime.
Not a cry for help

In addition, the statement Thursday by a member of the Liberal Party of Quebec according to which "it is the duty of everyone", including the Mafia, to fight against the shootings, in reaction to an article published in Le Journal of Montreal, has made active and retired police officers jump who requested anonymity because they are not authorized to speak to the media.

Yes, it happens that we go to see criminals because the tension is made very high, but we never ask for their help. On the contrary. We send them a message. They are told that because of this situation, we will be more on their backs, we will develop more sources and we will hurt them even more, ”one of them told us.
On Thursday, investigators from the Integrated Arms Trafficking Team, made up of investigators from the Sûreté du Québec and the SPVM, and part of the Centaur strategy, arrested a man suspected of producing weapons to fire.
During a search in the borough of Saint-Laurent, in the north-west of Montreal, they seized five firearms, one of which was in production, parts of firearms, three machines used for the manufacture of firearms and manufacturing plans.
The ongoing investigation was initiated in September following information obtained from Canada Post, and is being conducted with the assistance of the Canada Border Services Agency.

Major seizure of drugs and weapons When gangs play in the big leagues

The major seizure of cocaine, crystal meth and weapons announced Tuesday by the Service de police de la Ville de Montréal (SPVM) is a perfect example of the growing importance of independent criminal organizations and members street gangs in the importation and distribution of illicit products in the metropolitan area and in Quebec.

This is what the Commander of the Organized Crime Division of the SPVM, Francis Renaud, believes, according to whom these organizations, which now play in the big leagues such as the Mafia, bikers and Irish or Lebanese organized crime, "will be more and more present" on the scene of organized crime in Montreal.
This is exactly the new color of organized crime. That is to say that it is individuals from all cultural communities, some of whom come from street gangs, who have started to collaborate together for a common goal, money.

The medias in Quebec always been late in how the criminal world is in Quebec.
Many street gangs were already in the big leagues and for years. You have haitian and jamaican gangs that were already importing and supplying many other smaller gangs.

Businessman Valeriy Tarasenko, shot and wounded in the parking lot of a hotel in the Laurentians on Friday, has left in his wake, since his arrival in Quebec, several people who complain of having been defrauded. One of his ex-associates, who managed to infiltrate the entourage of Donald Trump last year, claims today that he forced her to date rich men in order to extract money from them.

https://www.tvanouvelles.ca/2022/10/09/fusillade-a-lesterel-un-suspect-de-53-ans-arrete-par-la-sq

The Sûreté du Québec (SQ) proceeded, Sunday morning, to the arrest of a former gang leader in connection with the shooting which occurred Friday at Estérel, in the Laurentians.

According to our information, the suspect is Richard Goodridge, 53, a well-known man in police circles.

https://www.lapresse.ca/actualites/...mysterieuse-la-veille-des-evenements.php

Last Friday, Valeriy Tarasenko, a businessman who immigrated from Russia in 2008, was shot and injured during an argument in the parking lot of the Estérel complex, in the Laurentians. The police quickly arrested a former gang leader close to the criminal bikers, Richard Goodridge, in connection with the case. But they released him without charges over the weekend. According to our information, investigators suspect that Tarasenko may have injured himself with his weapon during an argument between the two men.

What was the purpose of the meeting in Estérel? Part of the answer could be found in a video shot the day before in Blainville.
It was Thursday, October 6. Yury Manakhov, a former Soviet ship captain, was celebrating his 76th birthday with his loved ones at his luxurious residence. Mr. Goodridge, wearing a shirt showing his support for the Hells Angels marked with the number 81 (for HA, the eighth and first letter of the alphabet), rang the doorbell. He hadn't been invited to the party. Yury Manakhov had never seen him in his life.
" Good morning, how are you doing ? My name is Richard. I want to talk to you for a moment. Happy birthday,” he begins.
“I would like to tell you about Anna. Anna, your daughter-in-law. Honestly, I'm one of his very good friends, ”continues the former gang leader on the video.

Yury Manakhov had no desire to hear about Anna Tarasenko, his adopted daughter.
Eye on his fortune

Many judgments of Quebec courts tell how, for almost 10 years, Anna Tarasenko and her husband Valeriy Tarasenko had tried to appropriate Mr. Manakhov's fortune, lying in court and repeatedly fabricating false documents. There was a lot of money at stake.
A 2019 Superior Court decision recounts the remarkable rise of Yury Manakhov, who left his native village in the USSR in 1964 at the age of 18, after growing up in a very poor environment.
“He settled in Kamchatka, a peninsula with a harsh climate located in the Russian Far East facing Alaska, and whose main sectors of activity revolve around shipyards and fishing. The plaintiff became a ship's captain, co-founded in 1991 Kamline, a company working in the fishing, transport and refrigeration industries, held 66% of the shares, and made a fortune, ”sums up Judge Guylène Beaugé in her judgment.

Kamline says today catches 155,000 tons of fish a year off the coast of Russia. Mr. Manakhov, who sold his shares in 2006, settled in Quebec, where his adopted daughter Anna Tarasenko was already with her spouse, Valeriy Tarasenko.
Mr. Manakhov has previously testified in court that he provided hundreds of thousands of dollars annually to his adopted daughter, but that their relationship then deteriorated due to his over-demanding for money and his attempt to s to appropriate a residence and two parking spaces from his parents in Moscow, worth $1 million.
Mr. Manakhov said he was cheated out of hundreds of thousands of dollars by his daughter, who was “under the negative influence of her husband, Valeriy Tarasenko”.

“As far as I know, Valeriy has never worked and he is involved in activities that are not clear,” Mr. Manakhov testified.

Have charges dropped

On Thursday, Richard Goodridge came to the septuagenarian, said he understood everything that had happened to him, and suddenly offered to help him. He told Mr. Manakhov that the accusations against him were “bullshit”. He dangled her that as a friend of her adopted daughter, he could help her get the charges dropped. He tried to lure her aside to chat privately.
Mr. Goodridge is neither a lawyer nor a Crown prosecutor. He has been known for a long time in the organized crime scene in Montreal. During the 1990s, he would have been part of the Scorpions, a clique that gravitated in the entourage of the Rockers, a school club of the Hells Angels which has now disappeared. In 1999, he was seen as a bodyguard in a procession in which was the warrior leader of the Hells, Maurice Boucher.

In the mid-2000s, he founded, with the late kingpin Ducarme Joseph, the street gang 67 in Montreal. Over the years, he was pulled over in a car with a gun, was convicted of two charges of possession of a weapon and credit card theft. He was acquitted or benefited from a stay of the judicial process in several other cases.

Richard Goodridge:

Richard Goodridge made headlines last year when La Presse revealed that he was the leader of a new group of bikers, the Moors, which wanted to be more inclusive. It is not known if this group still exists.
During the 1990s, Goodridge would have been part of the Scorpions, a clique that gravitated around the Rockers, a school club of the Hells Angels that has now disappeared.

In 1999, Goodridge was observed as a bodyguard in a motorcade in which was the warrior leader of the Hells Angels, Maurice Boucher, who died a few weeks ago.
In the mid-2000s, Goodridge founded, with the late kingpin Ducarme Joseph, the street gang 67 in Montreal. The two men then fell out, becoming sworn enemies. After Joseph's departure in 2005, the 67 became the Loyalties, led by Goodridge.

Even if Goodridge is not haitian, he’s around alot of haitians

A prolific independent network stemming from street gangs dismantled

Six months after conducting searches aimed at dismantling a prolific network of independent drug traffickers from street gangs, investigators from the Service de police de la Ville de Montréal (SPVM) have been making the arrests since early Wednesday morning, La Presse has learned. .

According to our information, a dozen individuals should be arrested during this search.

These arrests conclude a major investigation by the SPVM's Organized Crime Division (DCO), dubbed Auxo, during which investigators seized at least 54 kilograms of cocaine, 46 kilograms of crystal meth, nearly 170,000 methamphetamine tablets and 36 kilograms of cannabis, for a total valuation of approximately 4 million.
During the investigation, the sleuths also got their hands on an astronomical sum of money of 1.3 million and eight firearms, including an AR-15 type assault rifle.
In the big leagues

During searches in June, the commander of the SPVM's DCO, Francis Renaud, explained to La Presse that the members of the network came from street gangs and had created an independent organization that had nothing to envy to major criminal groups. , such as the Hells Angels and the mafia.
This network could even supply them and street gangs on the north and south shores of Montreal.
The network is said to have moved at least 25 kilograms of cocaine a week and transported large sums of money to Toronto, where it relied on a "door", that is, a person who brought the cocaine into Canada and which allowed them to obtain supplies in large quantities, in the same way as the major criminal organizations.
“This is exactly the new color of organized crime. That is to say that it is individuals from all cultural communities, some of whom come from street gangs, who have started to collaborate together for a common goal, money. These people must have had the approval of certain important players and since they were useful to them, they were able to go about their business, ”explained Commander Renaud.
The suspects are scheduled to appear Wednesday afternoon at the Montreal courthouse.
More details to come.

War between Laval’s gangs

2die4 against 24 gang and FHB

https://www.lapresse.ca/actualites/...ntre-gangs-de-laval-en-toile-de-fond.php

A “bloody” conflict between Laval gangs in the background

Cédrick Dorval, aka Mad Taz, was targeted by six firearm projectiles in a shooting that occurred in broad daylight in the parking lot of a crowded shopping center on September 12, 2021. A restaurant employee had also escaped little to bullets.
Emmanuel Love Lubérisse, Rodolph Surin and his brother Jean Rhodny Surin are suspected of being the accomplices of the alleged shooter Marion Jude Lovinsky, whose trial is scheduled for later this year.
The three accused are affiliated with the 24 Gang, a street gang of red allegiance from Saint-François, in Laval, according to Karine Tétreault's analysis reports. The 24 are, according to his testimony, involved in a violent conflict with another Laval gang of blue allegiance.

This blue gang currently has no known name and, for reference purposes, it is nicknamed 2die4,” explained the street gang expert before Judge Jean-Jacques Gagné.

According to the theory of the prosecution, the three men are involved in this violent conflict, the main lines and various actors of which were exposed in the courtroom. The trio was present during the attempted murder at the Galeries Normandie.
Old conflict, new victims

"The accused and the victim Cédrick Dorval are known to the Laval Police Department to be linked to two violent gangs whose conflict is at the origin of numerous firearm discharge events in the streets of Laval and Montreal in over the past decade," says an analysis report presented in court and obtained by La Presse.
The conflict in question dates from 2003 between two Laval gangs, according to Karine Tétreault. The murder of Rodney Jean-Paul which occurred on September 1, 2003 is said to be at the origin of the conflict. Jean-Paul was shot in the head by subjects of the Saint-François gang. They have been charged for this homicide.

This bloody quarrel was aggravated by the murder of Widny St-Vil, a young man linked to the 24 Gang. The victim was close to Josué Frenel Bois, alias Juiceman, one of the headliners of the Saint-François gang, said Ms. Tétreault. It was also during the filming of a music video in September 2020 that the young man nicknamed Tree had been shot. Emmanuel Love Lubérisse was then present.

Alliances, rivalries… and music videos

The collection of information from the police is done, among other things, by increased surveillance of subjects of interest, but also by observing their posts on social networks and the rap music videos of certain members, explained the expert on street gangs. to Judge Gagné.
According to her, the 24 Gang is allied with the Flame Head Boys (FHB), another Laval street gang that is allegedly involved in several recent shootings.
This alliance is illustrated in the Zone 01 & Zone 02 music video presented in court on Monday. We can see the accused Lubérisse and Jean Rhodny Surin alongside the rappers. Zone 1 designates the Saint-François sector, while Zone 2 represents the FHB sector.

The 24 GANG also displays its association with PROFIT KOLLECTAZ, a gang from the Rivière-des-Prairies sector in Montreal, whose bloody conflict with the ZONE 43 of Montreal-North has largely hit the headlines recently”, specifies Ms. Tétreault in her written report. presented in court.
The reds are not the only ones to have found allies. “Topics [of the 2die4 gang] appear on social media with a gang from the Villeray neighborhood in Montreal, nicknamed VILLERAY 99,” she said.
In a screenshot of a music video by Pierre-André "Bouldat" Baptiste, considered by the police to be a member of the 24 Gang, the rapper displays his rivalry with the 99 de Villeray, according to one of the analysis reports cited in courtroom.

CONFLICT-RELATED EVENTS

Several episodes of unloading firearms mentioned Monday in the courtroom could have a link with the conflict between Laval gangs, according to the authorities.
September 12, 2020

Marion Jude Lovinsky, alleged shooter in the file concerning Emmanuel Love Lubérisse and his co-defendants, is injured in a shooting. Widny St-Vil, alias Tree, dies under the bullets. A year later, to the day, Cédrick Dorval is targeted in the parking lot of Galeries Normandie.

The Chicago model

Organized gangs once dominated by a leader have become cliques formed around the bereavement of one person. A sub-clique of Montreal North has taken the name of G Baby Gang, in honor of Jesse Dave Chatelier, killed last February

Some assassinations hit harder than others and fuel disputes based on an unshakable sense of belonging and the desire to be the strongest in the neighborhood. That of Jesse Dave Chatelier. That of Donald Sainturne, an icon of Profit Kollectaz (PK), killed in Montreal North in 2015. More recently, that of rapper Jerry Willer Jean-Baptiste, alias Mackazoe, in Rivière-des-Prairies last August.

Several close friends of Duckerns Pierre Clermont, alias Jeune Loup, an influential rapper linked to Villeray street gangs killed last month, told La Presse that they were preparing their revenge.
The double murder of Kevin Alves Loures and Guylianno Davance on Saint-Laurent Boulevard in 2015 prompted the gangs of Saint-Michel and Ahuntsic to seek revenge against the PK, whom they believe to be responsible. Davance and Loures were not linked to criminal groups, but among their entourage were gang members.

Armed, impulsive and endowed with a feeling of impunity in relation to the police, the micro-cliques united by mourning set a complex gear in motion.
Color no longer matters. The Profit Kollectaz, who began wearing the green headscarf, would be at war on three fronts. The 43, the 47 of Saint-Michel and CCL (Christophe-Colomb Louvain), the Ahuntsic clique, would now oppose the Profit Kollectaz. The consequences ring out in the form of gunshots. Their sector has become hotter, since several groups are targeting them.
The conflict between the PK and the 43 dates back several years. Two prominent members of the opposing cliques were once friends. A drug transaction would have gone wrong between the two criminals. The conflict escalated until a star member of the 43 was mistakenly shot by a PK member.
Rap and ripostes

The examples of internet provocations between gang members are glaring. As the crime drives up YouTube views, Profit Kollectaz and Zone 43 are not subtle in their exuberant retaliations. They take the form of rap videos that capture the attention of some young people in the neighborhood. Attracted by the staging, the polished aesthetic full of symbols, they religiously follow new rap and try to decipher the conflicts.


In the clip launched in February by a rapper from Saint-Michel, the visual is evocative: crystals at the end of a chain form the number 47. Then, a red cap marked with the number 43. The PKs provoked so many people that blue scarves now rub shoulders with red ones in music videos and on the street.

The 43 and the 47 now appear in music videos together, a sign of a possible alliance.
In his music videos, one of the main rappers of the PK, Andrew Luberisse, does not hesitate to show his car riddled with bullets. He frequently brags on social media about surviving attempted murders.
In a clip of two men linked to the 43s from last July, the logo of the Pop Team is clearly seen, described on the street as the "special squad" of the 43s, according to our criminal sources. A rapper sports the words "G Baby" on his cap, in reference to Jesse Dave Chatelier. "Nobody took it, we have to do a second round," sings the young man. Meaning: no one was shot in the shootout, so you have to do a second round to hit someone.

Montreal south-west gangs at war

Mostly south-west crips gangs at war

The SRCQ also reports numerous clashes within the Blues, the other faction of Montreal gangs.

These conflicts are manifested especially in the west of the island of Montreal, according to the police intelligence agency.

Two cliques in particular draw attention to it:

The Longmore-Edwards Group;
The Drummond Group.
These clans, identified by the surnames of their presumed leaders and involved in drug trafficking, are waging an endless turf war in the LaSalle and Lachine sectors.

Punctuated by “several violent incidents”, including drive-by shootings [shootings at the wheel], this “conflict has been going on since at least 2012”, specifies the SRCQ.

Osvaldo Pineda Melgar, 26, described as "a relation of the Drummond group", was notably killed by a bullet in the head in his accommodation in LaSalle in the presence of his spouse and their young child, on September 16, 2019.

The police managed to charge three suspects for this murder, in addition to multiplying the arrests in the two gangs.

Despite this, "the conflict [...] is not about to end and other incidents could take place", provides the SRCQ.
