"He agreed to plead guilty to one of four counts he faced in the indictment that was filed against ten people. He has an imposing list of co-accused, including Roberto Scoppa, the brother of two leaders of the Montreal Mafia, Jesus Ruiz Sandoval, an American narco living in a house filled with guns, and Eduardo Carvajal, an alleged Mexican cartel leader known as Primo.”
Bou was caught and became an informant. "It took several texts and a few photos sent on Signal, an encrypted messaging app, to tell the driver where to deliver his load." LOL Another encrypted messenger app run by the FBI.
"The FBI alleges the message was sent by Roberto Scoppa, the brother of two leaders in a faction of the Montreal Mafia. Scoppa, 55, wasn’t arrested then — it was early in the investigation — but he has been now. He is one of 19 men named in U.S. federal indictments that were unsealed with great fanfare on Jan. 30."
"American authorities say their investigation shut down two separate but related drug rings moving large quantities of cocaine, methamphetamine, and heroin from Mexico to Los Angeles, and then smuggling it into Canada. One network was feeding Quebec and the other Ontario."
Roberto Scoppa opposes the Rizzutos and is supported by the Ontario Hells Angels.
CTV is reporting that "In addition to Scoppa, the Mounties arrested Ivan Gravel Gonzalez, 32, of Trois-Rivieres, Que., Ayush Sharma, 25, and Guramrit Sidhu, 60, of Brampton, Ont., and Subham Kumar, 29, of Calgary." Some of the meth allegedly headed for Guramrit Sidhu in Brampton.
Although cocaine is a concern, crystal meth is worse and the primary problem is fentanyl.
The India Tribune is reporting that "Sandhu, also known as King, is alleged to have orchestrated the trafficking and exportation of large-scale quantities of controlled substances to Canada working with several co-defendants described as suppliers. Both the indictments allege illicit drug trafficking activity cumulatively involving approximately 845 kg of methamphetamine, 951 kg of cocaine, 20 kg of fentanyl, and 4 kg of heroin."
In 2017 Andrew Scoppa was arrested with 65 kilos of cocaine in Laval which is red and white. Which confirms the Dirty Newz east coast claim that the Quebec HAs are now starting to work with Rizzuto rivals. That's what appears to have started the BMF war in Quebec City.
Andrew Scoppa is the brother of deceased Salvatore Scoppa, a leader among the Calabrian side of the Montreal Mafia. Wally Stadnick is from Ontario not Quebec and supported the Calabrians secretly from day one. Mom Boucher supported the Rizzutos.
"A month later, the informant went back to Mexico, this time to meet with a boss of the other network he was snitching on, the one allegedly feeding Sidhu, known as King, in Ontario. It was a shorter trip. On Jan. 29, 2023, the informant walked across the U.S.-Mexico border into Tijuana, south of San Diego, wearing a wire. Soto picked him up at a café and drove him to meet Jesus Ruiz Sandoval Jr., 45, an American living in Mexico, the FBI claims. Sandoval said the Hells Angels in Montreal were one of his biggest customers. The bikers ordered up to 600 kilos at a time, their demand so large he sometimes had trouble filling the entire order,”
"Bou (the informant from red and white Edmonton) was found to have engaged in eight other similar distributions of cocaine and methamphetamine, from September 2021 to September 2022, said the USAO. In total, for the eight additional distributions, Bou distributed roughly 752 pounds (341 kilograms) of cocaine and around 730 kilograms of methamphetamine."
On March 15, 2023, Leonardo Rizzuto was shot while driving on Autoroute 440 in Laval.
