A total of nine men, all members of the 'Reds', were arrested in police raids. Police also seized firearms, ammunition, cellphones and electronic material.
Those arrested face a variety of charges, including arson, home invasion, fraud, conspiracy and weapons offences. This is the second time in four years that the police apprehended Reds for a murder ordered by the mafia. Five alleged members of Unit 44, a Rivière-des-Prairies gang near the Bô-Gars, are awaiting trial for liquidating Gaétan Gosselin, a friend of Raynald Desjardins, in 2013.
Theus, Lufiau, Comoe and Christmas are also accused of throwing Molotov cocktails at three establishments linked to the entourage of the Rizzuto clan. |
