Swinger bar owner Jean-Paul Labaye goes away

Jean-Paul Labaye, 63, was sentenced to 12 months in prison and $1.4m in fines for non-payment of taxes. Labaye was the sole director of Cercle réciproque (Reciprocal Circle), a 'non-profit' that operated L’Orage, a swinger's bar. Between 2015 and 2018, Cercle réciproque failed to declare and remit sales taxes amounting to $231,370. Cercle Réciproque also failed to pay income tax from 2015 to 2018, and at the provincial level from 2016 to 2019

Jean-Paul Labaye's lawyer said; “This is not a fraud scheme. There is nothing to indicate that there was false billing or that Mr. Labaye stole money as such. It is bad management. This is apparent from the judgment and the evidence. It's really bad management. ” In the late 1990s and early 2000s, L’Orage was raided several times. Charges of operating a bawdy house were filed. In 1998, police arrested 44 people at the bar. Forty-one were charged with being found in a bawdy house. In December 2013, the Supreme Court of Canada struck down the Criminal Code provision against keeping a common bawdy-house. Canada's highest court found that it violated section 7 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms guaranteeing the right to life, liberty, and security of the person.

Antoine and his cohorts were warned in prison by cops that there was a contract on their heads. Antoine pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit murder in 2017 and was sentenced to 15 years. With time served, he had eight years and 10 months left. He was turned down for parole in April 2021. He will soon qualify for statutory release.

Hitman Mazza lured by Mob boss wife

Former hitman Larry Mazza got himself caught up in a life of crime after an affair with the wife of mobster Gregory 'Grim Reaper' Scarpa. The boss even knew about it. As a teenager, Mazza met the much older Linda Scarpa while serving as her supermarket delivery boy. The pair hit it off but there was one small issue - she was married to mobster Scarpa, who then worked for Colombo boss Carmine Persico. The affair continued with the revelation coming after the mob-wife insisted Larry and her husband meet so he could find him work. After that meeting Mazza's life would never be the same. He gradually rose through the ranks of the mafia knowing his affair with his boss's wife could get him killed.

The affair began to weigh on the mobster so he backed away. The Grim Reaper himself reached out to him. "Greg called me and said 'where have you been, I've been worried about you, Linda's been worried about you'. Mazza became paranoid fearing he would soon be killed. He thought a meeting with the Grim Reaper would be his last. "We get to his office and he says: 'I know about you and Linda'." The notorious mob boss ended up being fine with it. He had one condition - if anyone outside of the trio were to learn of the affair then the pair would both be killed. "From that moment on he and I had this bond, and it grew."

Son of mafia boss killed during Naples street celebration

Vincenzo Costanzo, 26, was gunned down during delirious celebrations by football fans in Naples, after the city’s team won its first Serie A title in 33 years.

Yves 'Apache' Trudeau

Yves "Apache" Trudeau (1946–2008) was a former member of the Hells Angels North Chapter in Laval, Quebec. During the early 1960’s, Trudeau worked with explosives at CIL, which later proved valuable. He was often hailed as the “mad bomber.” Trudeau began Quebec’s first biker gang, the Popeyes, which became the first Canadian chapter of the Hells Angels in 1977. Trudeau was also the first Canadian to receive the Hells Angels’ “Filthy Few” patch, which is reserved for those who kill for the club. In 1979 Trudeau founded the Laval chapter.

Trudeau started what became known as the Hells Angels’ graveyard, a part of the St. Lawrence River that became a dumping site for corpses.

On March 24, 1985, the eight highest-ranking members of the Laval chapter were ordered to meet with Hells Angels officials in Sherbrooke, Lennoxville. Trudeau was unable to attend the meeting, as he was in a Montreal detox center for his cocaine abuse. Of the eight Laval members who attended the Lennoxville meeting, five were immediately shot dead and dumped into the St. Lawrence River. Hearing there was a $50,000 contract on his life, Trudeau turned to the cops. “I was as good as dead already. I was supposed to be dumped in the river” so Trudeau became the first full patch Hells Angel to become a police informer. In exchange for his testimony, which could not be used against him, he received an informant contract and lenient sentence. He confessed to being associated with 43 murders.

Throughout his 15-year career as a hitman, Trudeau admitted to doing half of the murders himself (29 with guns, 10 with bombs, three with baseball bats, and one using strangulation), and the other half he claimed only to be an accomplice. Trudeau was sentenced to life, for which he offered a guilty plea of 43 counts of manslaughter, but because of his contract, he was allowed parole after only seven years. Trudeau provided information on over 100 murders and helped implicate at least 80 individuals.

In 1994, Trudeau was released under the new identity of Denis Cote. He led a secret life doing odd jobs like driving a bus for the handicapped until being arrested in March 16th of 2004 for sexual assault. In April of that year, Trudeau pleaded guilty to six counts of sexual exploitation, sexual interference, and invitation to sexual touching of a male victim under the age of 14. In 2006 Trudeau was diagnosed with bone marrow cancer. On July 15, 2008 he was released by the National Parole Board who deemed him a low risk to reoffend, having months to live. He died in 2008, age 62.
