HA Jean-Richard Larivière

Jean-Richard 'Race' Larivière was caged in 2001 as the biker war was coming to an end. Larivière controlled drug and cash 'banks' for the Nomads.

Larivière later received his colours after being promoted to a member in good standing of the Montreal chapter. In 2018 the National Organized Crime Squad (ENRCO) seized his patches.

In the Hells Angels, having your colors in the hands of cops is a personal insult. The club's bylaws stipulate that all members "are obliged to have their jackets". The problem is that they do not have the right to have more than one jacket. 'Race' had to order another set of patches. Larivière was fined $1k for obstructing cops at the 2018 Martin Robert wedding in Montreal. The drunk biker got himself tasered by cops at the event and spent the night in jail.

Larivière was arrested again on July 6, 2020 after a dispute at the Pizzeria Sofia restaurant. The owner announced last call before closing. Unhappy that his supply of booze had ended, Larivière and a goon attacked him.

Larivière is a target of Quebec homicide cops.

The altercation was captured by cameras. Larivière, 54, pleaded guilty to a charge of common assault. Charges of assault causing bodily harm and uttering threats were dropped. Larivière has been connected to many murders. The killings of Stéphane Dupuis in April and Sébastien Giroux and Hugues Leblanc in May 2022 are all connected to the HA drug trade. The hit of right hand man Samy 'Blue' Tamouro is another. Tamouro was killed at a gym in Cancun in December 2023.

Tamouro was part of an internal purge following the revelations of informer Frédérick Silva. Tamouro knew Silva well. The assassins were busted, and it was revealed the pair worked for the Jalisco New Generation Cartel. Underworld figures were photographed at Tamouro's funeral in Canada, including gang leader Jean-Philippe Célestin and HAMC trafficker Benoit Nantel-Gagnon.
