High-ranking Hells Angel charged with breach of trust for allegedly accessing Ontario Ministry of Transportation computers

https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/20...inistry-of-transportation-computers.html

Why was Barletta trying to access those computers in the first place? for that purpose?

“Aside from Barletta, the other full-patch Hells Angels who were charged were Craig (Truck) McIlquham, 50, of Oakville; and Eugenio (Gino) Reda, 56, of King City.

McIlquham’s dozen charges include possession of a restricted weapon, bookmaking and commission of an offence for a criminal organization.“

I believe that Mcllquham, may be or was the National President HA in Canada 🇨🇦. I’m only speculating as I was told by a guy who had a meeting with President HA Ontario (Joe Ertel from Kitchener) and the National President HA, and his handle was ‘Truck’.

He threatened to rat this other guy out to the cops, which seemed strange.

In the original takedown there was a police services employee charged for breach of trust and wrongfully accessing the database ... I believe these charges are in connection from that .. it was Barletta that benefited from that information and I'm making an informed guess it was to provide his operation with addresses from license plates .... re: debt collection etc. as well as the database on open organized crime cases, to keep them one step ahead.

Multi-million dollar Ontario Hells Angels court case could collapse because of delays

Although they're still scruffy as fuck, the Hells Angels chapters operating up in Canada are a completely different entity than the brethren in the United States. Almost unrecognizable in both mindset and operation. You would NEVER find HA's in the USA running any type of sophisticated gambling and bookmaking rackets like this article shows Canandian HA's doing. $16 million bookmaking volume? Lol. The angels in the USA don't even know how to operate a gambling business, much less run one of that capacity.

They basically only into drug dealing down here, and certainly not in the nose-bleed hemisphere of volume anywhere near Canada.

Canada is a different beast indeed. Up there HA is truly into major "organized crime" whereas everywhere else I'd say HA was more into "dis-organized crime." Lol

So what happens to all the assets they confiscated?
They just give them back??

Although the federal RCMP was involved, as were non-policing federal agencies, the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) ultimately seized the assets — the law-enforcement agencies for several Ontario cities were especially instrumental in the investigation.

However, the return of seized assets is covered by the Criminal Code of Canada, which is federal law. And, yes, all assets have to be returned. I’ll try to find out whether the HA colours were also returned.

Lucky they aren't in the US, that stuff would have been sold already. Then the accused has to pony up a bunch of cash for lawyers to sue. Then they win and the citizens get to pay.

Part of the reason a club in my area switched over to hells angels was to have power to fight back over getting screwed over by asset treatment while the government had their stuff. Bikes sat impounded getting ruined and iirc the club beat the case.

Then the city attacked their crappy clubhouse illegally, got sued, lost, and the settlement bought them a nice new clubhouse.

Can't believe they haven't found a way to outlaw bike clubs altogether in Canada.
