MONTREAL - They keep coming back.
In announcing the dismantling of a major drug trafficking network,
police confirmed Tuesday the Hells Angels lost little ground after a
similar yet more significant roundup five years ago.
''We keep arresting people and they keep coming back,'' said Cmdr.
Didier Deramond, head of Montreal's regional integrated squad, a joint
police unit that targets outlaw motorcycle gangs.
On Tuesday, police arrested 38 people, including a member of the Hells
Angels and six members of their underling gang the Syndicate. They're
expected to be charged today on several counts including drug
trafficking and gangsterism.
Deramond described a hierarchical system that sounded eerily similar to
one set up by Maurice (Mom) Boucher during the biker war. That network
fell to pieces in 2001 when members of the Hells Angels' Nomads
chapter, led by Boucher, and its underling gang the Rockers, were
arrested and charged with crimes ranging from drug trafficking to
murder.
Deramond alleged Tuesday that other Hells Angels simply stepped in and
assumed the drug trafficking turf for which the Nomads chapter battled
so violently between 1994 and 2001.
Last week, during the first phase of the police operation, Mario
Brouillette, an alleged member of the Hells Angels' Trois Rivieres
chapter, was arrested along with about 30 other people. He's alleged to
be a leader in the network.
Andre (Frise) Sauvageau, an alleged member of the Hells Angels'
Montreal chapter, was arrested Tuesday.
An arrest warrant was also issued for Stephane (Ti-Os) Trudel, an
alleged member of the same chapter.
Through the Syndicate, Deramond said, the Hells Angels controlled drug
trafficking in downtown Montreal and the city's western sectors.
Dany Cadet, the reputed head of the Syndicate, was arrested Tuesday,
along with five other alleged gang members.
The Syndicate was responsible for ''distributing massive amounts of
drugs on the streets of Montreal,'' Quebec provincial police Capt.
Robert Pigeon said.
Deramond said drug sales were even conducted out of a drug detox
centre.
The vast network was supplied by a network of smugglers who sneaked
cocaine, packed in aluminum ingots, into Canada by ship and by truck.
The people who are alleged to be tied to the smuggling aspects of the
network were arrested last week, along with Brouillette.

POLICE SOURCES SEE BROUILLETTE AS LEADING DRUG-TRAFFICKING FIGURE
He is a Young Turk among the Hells Angels and smart enough to have
brushed up on his accounting skills while biding his time behind bars.
And the police suspect that before his arrest yesterday, Mario
Brouillette had taken over for Maurice (Mom) Boucher in the city's
drug trafficking circles.
"He's the leader among a younger, second generation in the Hells
Angels' chapter in Trois Rivieres," biker gang expert Guy Ouellette
said.
Police in Montreal noticed the 34-year-old Hells Angel on occasion
during the biker war in the 1990s, hanging out with members of
Boucher's elite Nomads chapter. He was often described by police as a
close associate of Louis (Melou) Roy, a founding member of the Nomads
who mysteriously disappeared in 2000.
With Boucher serving life sentences for orchestrating the murders of
two prison guards and almost all of the Nomads serving lengthy
sentences as a result of the megatrials that followed the biker war, a
drug-trafficking void was created in major pockets of Montreal.
According to a Montreal police intelligence report made public this
year, the gang's Trois Rivieres chapter stepped in for fellow Hells
Angels along with the help of a street gang called the Syndicate.
Police sources point to Brouillette as the leading figure in that
takeover. He is a man who does not hide the fact he wears the gang's
patch, the notorious winged skull.
In 2003, Brouillette confirmed to the National Parole Board that he
was a full-patch Hells Angel, as he was preparing to finish a six-year
sentence for his role in the 1995 murder of a Rock Machine associate.
He was initially charged with first-degree murder and with conspiring
to kill Claude Rivard, a man who was shot to death in Repentigny. But
Brouillette managed to plead guilty to being an accessory after the
fact to murder.
He used part of the sentence to study accounting on a part-time
basis.
During one parole hearing Brouillette described the Hells Angels as a
group of motorcycle enthusiasts and dismissed the gang's criminal
reputation as "public rumours propagated by the media."
But he was turned down for parole during the same hearing, in part
because he was suspected of drug trafficking at his penitentiary. A
psychological evaluation in 1997 - near the start of his sentence -
"revealed the strong presence of antisocial and narcissistic
personality traits."
Parole board reports filed during his sentence reveal the influence he
had within the gang even in 1999, when he was 27.
It was noted while incarcerated he had received greeting cards from
members of the Hells Angels from all over the world.

NWO man in Montreal court
By THE CHRONICLE-JOURNAL
May 13, 2006, 00:24
A Thunder Bay man police say has had links to the Hells Angels
appeared in a Montreal court Friday, along with two dozen other people
arrested in a wide-ranging police investigation.
Jacques Desaulniers, 45, was arrested just before dawn Thursday as part
of a series of raids connected with Operation Fusion, Thunder Bay
Police said.
Desaulniers was arrested at his John Street home along with a female
companion. Officers from the biker enforcement unit, the emergency task
unit, and members of the Thunder Bay Police uniform patrol were in
attendance.
Police said a quantity of cocaine, drug paraphernalia and other
narcotics, a loaded handgun, and a Taser were seized from the
residence.
"It was not a large quantity," Staff Sgt. Scott Smith, a police
spokesman, said of the cocaine seizure.
Desaulniers appeared in Thunder Bay court Thursday afternoon and the
justice of the peace issued a six-day hold remand warrant. He was then
taken by RCMP officers and flown to Montreal for an initial court
appearance Friday.
Among those arrested in Operation Fusion were Mario Brouillette, 34, a
full-patch member of the Hells Angels' Trois Rivieres chapter, and
Roger Bellemare, 45, a Trois Rivieres lawyer who has represented
members of the Hells Angels.
Yvan Cech, 63, the alleged head of the ring, was arrested while on
vacation in the Dominican Republic.
Desaulniers was the only suspect arrested in Ontario.
"I don't have any more information about him," Surete du Quebec
spokesman Sgt. Jayson Gauthier said Friday. "There are 33 people
arrested, and we haven't broken down the parts everybody played."
Several sources told The Chronicle-Journal that Desaulniers had some
connection to the Hells Angels outlaw motorcycle gang.
"This guy was somewhat familiar to us, though not recently and not in
a real big way," one court source said.
The arrest of Desaulniers stemmed from Project Husky, a Ontario-based
investigation into biker activity and cocaine distribution in Thunder
Bay and Northern Ontario.
On Jan. 18, 27 people were arrested, including four members of the
Thunder Bay Hells Angels chapter and one "hangaround." Three of the
four full-patch members pleaded guilty to various charges, including
drug trafficking, and were sentenced to federal prison terms ranging
from 4-1/2 to 6 years.
The 42-year-old woman arrested at Desaulniers' home was released
unconditionally from police custody Thursday, Thunder Bay Police said.

Stephane Trudel oddly enough was erroneously reported shot dead in
2002.
