Six others appeared at the courthouse, including gang leader Gregory Woolley. Woolley, Eric Bourgeois, Martin Girard, André Sauvageau, Gaétan Sévigny and Wesley Jean-Marie will also stand trial for charges related to operation Magot-Mastiff. All of the accused are scheduled to appear in court on Jan. 25. |  |
