Bikers, gangs and lebanese organized crime Meeting at the top in a park in a peaceful neighborhood of Laval

The SPVM surveillance surprised gang members Frantz Louis and Atna Onha, the Hells Angels Gilles Lambert and François Vachon as well as a man linked to Lebanese organized crime, Joseph Chamai, in the middle of a meeting in a park in Laval, in the afternoon of May 6, 2020.

Six months before being shot and killed, Frantz Louis took part in a summit meeting between major players in Montreal organized crime, in broad daylight, in a park in a quiet residential area of Laval.

This is what an organized crime specialist from the Service de police de la Ville de Montréal (SPVM) told Wednesday at the jury trial of Emanuell Roberts Hunte and Andrew Thomas Labrèche, which opened a while ago. two weeks, for the first degree murder of Louis, 49, committed on November 19, 2020 in the Villeray district of Montreal.
Frantz Louis was described by Detective Sergeant Francis Derome as an individual "known to the police for several years and part of the daily news of organized crime" in the greater Montreal area.
The investigator said in particular that on May 6, 2020 – when the COVID-19 pandemic was at its peak – in the middle of the day, Louis showed up in the Parc des Coccinelles, boulevard Chomedey, at the corner of boulevard Perron, in Laval, with Atna Onha, nicknamed 2-Pac.
In the small park enclosed in a quiet residential area, where there are structures for children, water games and a basketball court, the two men met three other individuals: Gilles Lambert and François Vachon, members of the Hells Angels, and Joseph Chamai, who the witness described as being linked to Lebanese organized crime.
“This meeting worried the police officers of the spinning mill, because in addition to the five men present, there were at least seven or eight individuals who were walking around the park and who stood guard. By their behavior, they seemed armed. When there are meetings of members of the Hells Angels, there are almost always guards. It worried us, in broad daylight, in a residential area, ”described Francis Derome.
“These are people from the highest level of organized crime. Onha is one of the most important players in organized crime today. He met Frantz Louis a few times during the Abuse investigation “, in which Louis was targeted, added the detective sergeant.
A name heard regularly

At the time he was killed in November 2020, Louis was indeed accused, along with three accomplices, in an extortion case.
"He was part of an organization that lent to people in difficulty and tried, by threat, to maintain payments as long as possible at criminal interest rates," the witness summarized.

A man killed by stabbing in Laval

a 51-year-old man with a stab wound. Taken to hospital, he succumbed to his injuries.
The victim was known to the police community, but the investigators do not confirm that there is a link with the dispute. According to our information, it is Vick Sévère Paul.
The reasons for the conflict and the number of people involved are not known at this time. No arrests have been made.
The file has been seized by the crimes against the person investigators, who will try to shed light on the circumstances of the murder. A crime scene has been erected and will be combed through by the forensic identification squad.
His relatives murdered
Vick Sévère Paul was considered at one time to be a street gang member of red allegiance in Montreal. He was the brother of Lamartine Sévère Paul, a close friend of Chénier Dupuy, who had tried to unify the street gangs of the metropolis in 2012.
Lamartine Sévère Paul and Chenier Dupuy were murdered a few hours apart in August of that same year.
Les Paul were also the cousins of the kingpin Ducarme Joseph who was shot in August 2014.
According to the police, Ducarme Joseph and businessman Antonio Magi were implicated in the December 2009 murder of Nick Rizzuto, eldest son of Vito Rizzuto.
Joseph and Les Paul are said to have been part of a group that provided protection for Magi and carried out contracts for the businessman in the late 2000s.
Like many criminalized individuals, Vick Sévère Paul owned a condo at 1000 de la Commune in Old Montreal, a real estate project developed by Magi.
The latter was in turn murdered in January 2019, presumably the victim of revenge by the Sicilian mafia clan, just like Joseph.
Vick Sévère Paul had some criminal history in Quebec.
He had notably been sentenced to a sentence of two years less a day for drug trafficking, following his arrest in Operation Loquace by which the Sûreté du Québec dismantled, in November 2012, a consortium of individuals who were trying to violently seize the monopoly of cocaine distribution in Canada.
He had also been fined for a case of credit card theft in 1996 and was arrested for an attempted murder that occurred in Ontario's Niagara Falls region in 2009.

Fraud shakes up street gangs

The young bandits were thirsty for money, power and notoriety. Fraud has enriched them. With this magot, they armed themselves. Fraud has completely changed the face of street gangs in Montreal and would be the main cause of gun traffic among young criminals, several sources in the interlope community told La Presse. Incursion into the heads of these young fraudsters now involved in conflicts.

Carlos has never been incarcerated in connection with this type of crime. However, he is known to the police services.

Before, you needed [nupfixing] stups to be rich. Now you make $50,000 without really going to the field. It's less stressful.

Carlos, fraudster

When it comes to large fraudulent transactions, inexperienced young bandits can get caught. But several small sums? "It happens, but not often. There are far too many to stop everyone. It's too volatile, "explains this more experienced bandit. He is not a "crazy head" and does not "mix in the dramas of the street".

He evokes revealing examples. A well-watered evening where two young fraudsters take out their Glock pistol for a banal insult. Beginners barely able to fight who throw unnecessary provocations at an older gang member by laughing at his latest music video. Teenagers who brandish bundles of bills on Snapchat, inviting much older enemies to come and challenge them.

The new generation is less afraid. There is no structure when you make your money alone. So why would you have respect for older people?

Carlos

Money and problems.

Fraud is a less complex avenue than narcotics, long considered by criminals as the only way to make a fortune illegally. However, do not enter anyone who wants to enter the trade in illicit substances. "You depend on older and more experienced criminals. You can't wake up one day and go sell crack at Émilie-Gamelin. You can't shoot who you want in broad daylight, because you will be told to calm down so as not to harm the structure, "continues Carlos.

"It is the status of fraudsters that has changed," says an ex-gangster questioned on this subject by La Presse.

Young Anthony embarks on this monologue when asked how much money he makes thanks to fraud. His fierce tone says a lot about his relationship to authority. The message is clear: he does not obey anyone. Not even to older and more experienced criminals.

"Greg and JP? Why would I listen to them? I prefer to make money on my own, "he says without an ounce of hesitation in his voice.

He refers to Gregory Woolley and Jean-Philippe Célestin, considered by the police as two influential men in the street, close to Italian organized crime and bikers. These figures known from the criminal world simply do not interest him, he says, shrugging his shoulders. Why try to climb the ladder when he can "make money on his own"?

His illegal "win-win-win-win" allowed him to impress Toronto gangsters and expand his network of connections. He nonchalantly describes his regular visits to the Queen City.

The guys in Toronto don't know how to cheat. They ask the guys from Montreal how to do it.

Anthony

Fraud will "make him a millionaire", he says the most seriously in the world. It started with small sums. "A $500, a $1,000, a $3,000," he says. These modest sums allowed the purchase of game consoles, smartphones, gift cards, prepaid Visa cards, furniture. He sold everything at a fraction of the price. "You become like a kind of salesman in the end. When the price of the new iPhone goes up, your profits go up, "he explains.

When the gang is formed in front of a computer, we are far from the structure of the classic street gang united in a neighborhood or building. It still exists, but connections are easier with bandits from Toronto, Vancouver or even Miami. "The Toronto-Montreal corridor has never been as important as it is now. We really understood that we have to talk to each other, "says Commander Renaud.

Haiti has always been ignored by the world and UN ! Decades of corrupt leadership and weakened democratic institutions — supported by the United States — have brought a state of terror and lawlessness to Haiti without an achievable political solution or even an end to the violence in sight.

the above article about street gang fraud is very revealing. for one the extent and money involved is equal to or greater than slinging dope. there is no comparing the risk level that is for sure. the revealing part is the now...and probably for a few years, total lack of leadership or control by senior gang members. whether BLUES OR REDS it doesnt seem to matter. in this disarray it is easy to understand the seemingly random shootings over nothing more than bad rap videos. there doesnt appear to be any clear overall leader or set alliances since the break up of MAFIA/HA/WOOLLEY ALLIANCE in 2015. woolley himself is no longer mentioned as being among leaders of OC anymore and the shootings at or near his residence would show as much. furthermore all this makes it even more difficult to figure out which street gang sets are being used in the most recent arsons and shootings. whewwwwww. those groups using street gangs for work most likely appreciate this confusion.

https://montrealgazette.com/news/cr...gates-gang-leader-arsene-mompoints-death

Murder of Arsène Mompoint The SQ targets individuals linked to a dangerous street gang

Very early, at 4 a.m., investigators from the Division of Investigations into Murders and Disappears Related to Organized Crime (DEMDCO) of the Sûreté du Québec (SQ) broke into four individual residences connected to the Rolling 90's, a violent gang present in Pierrefonds and Pointe-Claire.

No one was arrested. These are searches under investigation. .

However, the searches targeted individuals who would have played an important role in the crime.

A few weeks ago, investigators from the Service de police de la Ville de Montréal (SPVM) arrested six individuals related to the Rolling 90's and seized as many firearms.

They apprehended another man for drug trafficking and possession of ammunition on Wednesday morning.

Rolling 90's members are suspected of being involved in arms trafficking and violent crimes.

An individual close to the Rolling 90's, Marckens Vilme, was convicted by a jury in Brampton, Ontario and sentenced to life imprisonment, with no possibility of parole before the age of 25, for the murder of an Ontario Hells Angel committed in March 2019.
